McCarthy spent several years doing stand-up comedy and theater in Minneapolis and Chicago before going into television and film.[9] He starred in Flags of Our Fathers as James Bradley, and in the final season of The Wire as the morally challenged reporter Scott Templeton. He made his Broadway debut in the 2001 revival of Noises Off!.[10]
In 2010, McCarthy directed the unaired pilot for the HBO series Game of Thrones, but the final cut of the episode was poorly received by showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.[16] McCarthy was replaced by Tim Van Patten, who directed the final version of the pilot that aired in 2011.[17] The experience discouraged McCarthy from returning to television directing for several years.[18]
He also co-wrote and directed 2011's Win Win based on his experiences as a wrestler at New Providence High School.[19]
