The Many Faces of Sam McCarthy

Sam McCarthy stole the show on Dead to Me, flawlessly portraying Jen's teenage son as by turns vulnerable and angry, bitchy and endearing.  So naturally I wanted to research this up-and-coming teen idol.

He was born in 2002, son of former Brat Packer Andrew McCarthy.  He has been performing on screen since 2016, with guest roles in 4 tv series (The Family, The Jim Gaffigan Show, The Blacklist, Teen Wolf) and recurring roles in 2 (as main characters' teenage sons in Dead to Me and Condor).

Also a movie role: in All These Small Moments (2018), he plays the brother of a teenage boy who is infatuated with an older woman.

And the upcoming 18 to Party (2019), about some 8th-graders in 1984 trying to get into a nightclub.

Doesn't look like a lot of gay interest, but give him time.

An image search was not fruitful. There are dozens of "Sam McCarthy" different instagram, twitter, and facebook accounts.  It's a horrendously common name, and half the people who have it are girls.

This is definitely the right Sam, and I think the top photo is, too.

This is not the right one, but ripped anyway.




















Maybe what Sam looked like a few years ago.

Maybe what he will look like in about 10 years.

Nice abs on this Sam McCarthy.  Or is Sam the girl he's with?

This Sam McCarthy lives in Hornchurch, Barking and Dagenham, East London, about 18 miles from Trafalgar Square.  How'd you like to write all that on a trick card?

And one of these guys is a Sam McCarthy from Padua College in Australia.

There are about 8 Padua Colleges in Australia.  I don't know which one it is, except maybe the one in Victoria that represents the student body with photos like this.

I assume that one or more of these guys is named Sam McCarthy.
