Andrew McCarthy Trivia
|
- Started smoking during the filming of St. Elmo's Fire (1985) (his character smoked). Has since quit.
- Ended up marrying his college sweetheart, Carol Schneider, 20 years after they first dated.
- He appeared in John Parr's "St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion)" music video.
- As soon as filming had finished for the movie Pretty in Pink (1986), he was signed on to play the lead in Less Than Zero (1987). As it happened, at the last moment, John Hughes (director of Pretty in Pink (1986)) decided he wanted to change the ending at the last minute (to what it currently is), but Andrew had already shaved his head for his next role. To solve this problem, Mr. Hughes had him don a wig for the last scene of Pretty in Pink (1986).
- Brother of writer/director Justin McCarthy
