Born: August 26, 1970
Born and raised in Plainfield, Illinois, just outside of Chicago, McCarthy first made her mark on the comedy stage, performing stand up in New York at The Improv and Stand Up New York. At the same time, she received dramatic training from The Actors Studio in New York and starred in a variety of stage productions throughout the city.
Since moving to Los Angeles, McCarthy's quick wit gets a workout almost every weekend as a member of The Groundlings Main Company, a world-renowned improv and sketch troupe.
McCarthy's recent television and feature film work includes roles in Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Life of David Gale, with Kevin Spacey. Her previous credits include White Oleander with Michelle Pfeiffer, Pumpkin with Christina Ricci and Go, directed by Doug Liman. In addition, McCarthy starred in John August's independent short film God as a young woman having gossipy phone conversations and a short-lived spat with the Almighty. She also recently turned her creative attentions to writing, directing and producing, creating the short film Polk Valley and playing the main character.
She currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
