What Is The Cast Of ‘Shameless’ Up To Now?

After a 10-year journey, it was hard to say our goodbyes to the Gallaghers, but we also can’t wait to see what the Shameless alums have to offer after the show ended!

William H. Macy

In opposition to his role as Frank Gallagher, the reckless addict, award-winning actor William H. Macy will be playing Richard Fuisz, an entrepreneur in a true-crime drama The Dropout. Starring Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes, the series is about the founder of Theranos who scammed the world with her “revolutionary” blood tests and made millions of dollars from it. Macy plays the character that gets sued by the startup and exposes the company’s fraudulent activities. Audiences are shocked by Macy’s transformation as Fuisz, which the actor admits takes the hair and makeup crew several hours to complete the bald look. The Dropout is now streaming on Hulu!

Emmy Rossum

While Fiona graduated from Shameless early, Emmy Rossum has a new lead ahead of her. She will play LA’s mysterious billboard icon, Angelyn, in a limited series called Angelyn. Rossum, 35, juggling with motherhood is also working on another on-screen appearance. She will be part of the upcoming Apple series The Crowded Room playing Tom Holland’s mother. Apple describes the show as an anthology based on “inspirational stories of those who have struggled, and learned to successfully live with, mental illness.” While we wait for Rossum on the big screen, the Phantom of the Opera star can fill in the time with her “Angel of Music” voice.

Jeremy Allen White

Lip was always the responsible one in the Gallagher family and it seems like Jeremy Allen White will continue his legacy through his extended stay in the windy-city of Chicago. In White’s upcoming FX comedy series The Bear he will be playing the lead role of a young chef returning to his hometown to run his family restaurant. Although the star is not as active on social media, we love the wholesome content of his two kids that he occasionally shares on his Instagram!

Cameron Monaghan

Think you didn’t get enough of steamy Ian Gallagher? Well, Cameron Monaghan’s recent thriller film Shattered gives us some romantic scenes we have been craving for. He plays a wealthy tech developer who grows a romantic connection with a girl he meets, but only to discover nightmarish secrets that she has been hiding under her sleeve. The film star is working on another thriller film, Paradise Highway, and tells his followers that he “cannot wait to share more with [them].”

Emma Kenney

We saw Debbie Gallagher grow throughout Shameless and now we can watch 22-year-old actress Emma Kenney as a full-grown actress in ABC’s sitcom show The Conners! The Gen-Z icon is also a TikTok star where she started making videos featuring the Shameless crews. She never misses a chance to bring us through her day entertaining us with funny content. Kenney also has a photography Instagram account where she shares her skills and occasionally feeds us with some pictures of cast members from Shameless.

Ethan Cutkosky

Carl Gallagher who has always been a badass, stays a badass. Along with some modeling, Ethan Cutkosky has also launched his singing career, releasing his single called “Erase Me.” The 22-year-old still remains close friends with his Shameless sister, Emma Kenney, as they occasionally appear together in photos on Instagram and TikTok. It was surprising to see him when he passed by me in front of the Viper Room in LA, but like Carl he kept his cool!

Christian Isaiah

Last but not least, the youngest among the crazy Gallaghers, Liam. After graduating from Shameless, actor Christian Isaiah played the late Chadwick Boseman’s younger character in 21 Bridges in 2019. The rising YouTube star is also a skater boy sharing his swag on his Instagram.
