Andrew McCarthy stars in NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" as Joe Bennett, a multi-billionaire who relies heavily on his assistant for everything, including asking out women such as Victory Ford (Lindsay Price).

Joe wants what he wants and rarely takes no for an answer until now – when he must conquer the love of Victory.

At the age of 19, Andrew McCarthy made his screen debut in the feature film "Class," paving the way for him to appear in more than 30 feature films, numerous television shows and more than two dozen live theater productions.
