William H. Macy and Jeremy Allen White, known for their roles as father and son on the hit series Shameless, have maintained a strong bond even after the show's conclusion. Macy, who portrayed the absentee father Frank Gallagher, expressed pride in White's successful career, particularly highlighting his work on the series 'The Bear.'
Reflecting on White's Calvin Klein underwear campaign, Macy humorously shared his fatherly advice, jokingly telling White to 'put your pants on.' Given White's character's storyline on Shameless, Macy noted that he had already seen White with his pants off quite a bit.
Shameless, Showtime's longest-running show, concluded in 2021 after 11 seasons, prompting emotional farewells from the cast. Macy referred to it as the 'end of an era,' while Emma Kenney and Cameron Monaghan expressed gratitude for their time on the show.
White, in a 2022 interview, admitted to initial doubts about the show's longevity but ultimately cherished the experience and the relationships formed during his decade-long tenure.
Emmy Rossum, an original cast member who played Fiona, bid farewell to the show in 2018, leaving a significant impact on the series. Her departure was met with mixed emotions from the cast, with Macy and White acknowledging the changes it would bring to the dynamic of the show.
Despite the challenges of moving on from such a long-running series, the cast members expressed optimism for the future and the opportunities that lay ahead. White, in particular, viewed Rossum's exit as a chance for the show to evolve and explore new narratives.
