Biography:
One of the most in-demand composers for films and television, Dennis McCarthy has spent his life in and around music. Growing up, in North Hollywood, California, McCarthy played violin and piano. He studied Engineering and Physics at Northridge and UCLA while supporting himself by playing weddings and frat parties on the weekends. Eventually Dennis joined the ranks of the "Surf and Car" groups and began a new career as a keyboardist in the studios. One of the musicians he met in those years was Glen Campbell, when he was a session guitarist. When Glen became a star and recorded "Gentle On My Mind" and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" he asked Dennis to join him as a keyboardist. As Glen’s fame grew, he needed an ‘on the road’ arranger/conductor and McCarthy took on the challenge of a musical self-education and the mentoring of many wonderful musician/arrangers.
McCarthy spent four years on "Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour," working and learning from Marty Paich as well as Ray Charles, who was the show’s choral director, and also Earl Brown who also worked on the show. An opportunity to compose a film score in England opened doors for McCarthy when he returned to Hollywood, giving him experience in orchestral writing while also giving him a feature film credit that created new opportunities in Hollywood. One of them led to "Enos," a spin-off of "The Dukes of Hazzard," which McCarthy began to compose in 1981. A fistful of TV scores for Warner Bros followed included "V: The Final Battle," the new incarnation of "The Twilight Zone," "Dynasty," "MacGyver," and a few movies-of-the-week like "Sam Houston: The Legend Of Texas" and "Sworn To Silence." With George Doering, McCarthy flexed his blues muscles and composed the music for a series called "Houston Knights," which led to an assignment scoring the first of the two-hour "Police Story" shows.
McCarthy found himself basking in public prominence when he was hired as one of the regular composers on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in 1987, and since then has contributed music to all the subsequent Star Trek series, including scoring the seventh Star Trek movie, "Generations" in 1994. McCarthy’s musical versatility hasn’t stayed still for episodic television, however – he has scored a number of feature films and made-for-TV movies, including "Overkill: The Aileen Wuornos Story" (1992), "McHale's Navy" 1997, "Letters from a Killer" 1998, and several mini-series based on the popular novels by Danielle Steele.
McCarthy is a seven-time Emmy nominee, and won the award in 1993 for his work writing the main title to "Deep Space Nine" and again in 1996 for the score to the episode, "Unification, Part 1" from "Star Trek: the Next Generation." He also recently jumped into theatre work for South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, CA, composing the music for "Of Mice And Men," "Much Ado About Nothing," "On The Jump," "The Dumb Show," "Dicken’s Christmas Carol," "The Beard Of Avon" – the premier of the Amy Freed play, "Getting Frankie Married, and Afterwards" a play by Horton Foote which also premiered at the SCR. Among his latest projects, Dennis is scoring the TV sitcom "Related," for Warner Bros Television.
Dennis currently lives in Burbank with his wife Patty and is within driving distance of their three children and their eight grandchildren.
