McCarley is married to fellow voice actress Katelyn Gault. He is a member of the SAG-AFTRA union. In September 2022, he was involved in a public disagreement with Crunchyroll regarding the dubbing of the third season of Mob Psycho 100. As a union member, he offered to work on a non-union contract for the season on the condition that Crunchyroll meet with SAG-AFTRA representatives to discuss future union agreements. Crunchyroll declined this offer, and McCarley did not reprise his role as Mob, sparking significant discussion within the anime community about voice actor contracts and union representation.
