Andrew McCarthy net worth has started to grow in the early 1980. It was due to both his talent an the-boy-next-door looks that Andrew was offered a steady flow of roles almost immediately after entering the business, without having to struggle for recognition for years, like so many other actors. His movie debut was in 1983‘s theatrical drama Class. The movie did on receive many positive reviews from critics, but it helped Andrew launch his professional career (by the way, Class was also a ebut for such famed actors as John Cusack, Virginia Madsen, Lolita Davidovich, and Alan Ruck). A real breakthrough in McCarthy‘s career came up in 1985, when he appeared on American coming-of-age movie St. Elmo‘s Fire. The movie received very mixed reviews from critics, with David Danby writing that “St. Elmo’s Fire isn’t drama, it’s gossip, and peculiarly early-adolescent gossip— a movie designed to be picked apart on the telephone. The turbidly self-important treatment of these vacuous college graduates, each one a ‘type’, is like a TV sitcom without jokes“. However, the other 14 out of 30 other critics described the movie as worth attention and it was a commercial success.
Andrew‘s next big role was on a romantic comedy fantasy film Mannequin. Built on the budget of $6million, it grossed nearly $43 million in the box office. Not only the movie was successful commercially, it has also garnered him a „Best Actor“ award at Fantafestival. Even though on the day of release the critics were not as positive as the general audience (Mannequin is currently given 22% „rotten“ rating on Rotten Tomatoes) it has became a real cult classic an still has a small but dedicated base of fans and followers. Needless to say, it has aded some cash to Andrew McCarthy net worth too.
