Andrew McCarthy in 'Gossip Girl' spinoffActor set to play Lily's father opposite Brittany SnowMarch 5, 2009, 11:03 PM ET
Lily Rhodes' family is coming into focus.
Andrew McCarthy has joined the "Gossip Girl" spinoff, playing Lily's father, Rick Rodes, a music company exec. In other CW pilot castings, Tim Matheson has been tapped for the DC-set "Body Politic." The WBTV-produced "Gossip Girl" spinoff chronicles Lily's (Brittany Snow) wild teen years in 1980s Los Angeles. McCarthy joins Snow and Krysten Ritter, who plays Lily's sister Carol Rodes. Co-starring on a show set in the '80s is fitting for McCarthy, who was a big '80s movie star, appearing in such features as "St. Elmo's Fire," "Pretty in Pink" and "Less Than Zero." McCarthy, who most recently co-starred on NBC's "Lipstick Jungle," is repped by the Glick Agency and One Entertainment. CBS Par's "Politic" evolves around young staffers in Washington. Matheson will play a charming, JFK-type senator. Andrew McCarthy in 'Gossip Girl' spinoffActor set to play Lily's father opposite Brittany SnowMarch 5, 2009, 11:03 PM ET
