Many roles followed in film and television including recurring on Fox’s Beverly Hills 90210; starring alongside Mary Tyler Moore and Tony Curtis in the quirky comedy Thanksgiving Day; playing brother to Valerie Bertinelli in the Emmy nominated mini-series In a Child’s Name; and playing a Jewish activist registering black voters in the South on the show Any Day Now.

Recent television and film includes the HBO show Big Love (with Harry Dean Stanton); Shark (with James Woods); recurring on the Canadian hit show The G-Spot; Welcome to Mooseport (starring Gene Hackman); and the improv feature Outta Sync.  Andy is finishing editing the improv pilot Two Sticks which he co-created and stars.

Andy is also a successful voice-over animation actor in television and film, most recently playing Justin Timberlake on the MTV show Celebrity Deathmatch; the Jersey Devil in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie TMNT; Snap in Snap, Crackle, Pop for Rice Krispies; and is the Promo voice for the new ABC show Notes from the Underbelly.

Andy directed the baseball documentary short, Oh How They Lived, Stories From the Negro Leagues, as well as numerous plays and sketch shows in L.A. and Chicago.
