Is Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the block in the McCarthy's?

Answer 1

Yes, Joey McIntyre, the youngest member of New Kids on the Block (who is now 41) is part of the cast of the new CBS sitcom "The McCarthys," which makes its debut Oct. 30, 2014.

He plays Gerard McCarthy, one of the four kids of the close-knit Boston family, who is a youth Basketball coach with anger issues. He is also a twin, though his twin brother Sean, is much larger than he is (and played by actor Jimmy Dunn).

The sitcom is about their other brother Ronny (Tyler Ritter, John Ritter's son), a gay man whose proposed move to Providence is met with Horror by his family, led by Laurie Metcalf and Jack McGee and also featuring Kelen Coleman.

Joey's big advantage in the sitcom: His native Boston accent.
