Andrew McCarthy in 'Gossip Girl' spinoff


March 05, 2009 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." 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."
