Partnering with different people, he has had influence on Television.

Teamed with Matthew Perry, he wrote and sold two TV pilots and a feature film script. He and Matthew Perry were trying to pitch a pilot similar to friends when NBC told them they had a similar project already in development. From that Matthew Perry got cast in Friends. The Coffee House situation in Friends was part of what Andrew and Matthew were pitching for their project.

On his own, Andrew contributed sketches to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and Fox's "Sunday Comics," and wrote on the staff of the short-lived UPN sitcom "Guys Like Us." He produced and wrote three series for Nickelodeon: "The Amanda Show," "All That," and "Drake & Josh." As an actor, Andrew has appeared in seven feature films, two Broadway shows, three Off-Broadway shows, and guest-starred in fifty episodes of over three dozen different television series.
