An adaptation of the award-winning British series of the same name, Shameless centers on the dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy, Law & Order, Curious George), a single father of six children. In their household, the saying “There’s no honor among thieves.” doesn’t apply at all. Although none of them makes ends meet in a conventional way, they always help each other.
The patriarch of the family is an egocentric man, who indulged himself in laziness and drinking. Frank does nothing but collect his disability checks (illegally) and developing schemes to cheat the system and take advantage of others in order to make money. The Gallagher clan comprises the eldest child and head of the family, Fiona (Emmy Rossum, As the World Turns, The Practice), two teenage sons, Phillip “Lip” (Jeremy Allen White, Conviction, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) and Ian (Cameron Monaghan, The Glades, NCIS), and the younger offspring, Debbie (Emma Kenney), Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) and Liam (Blake Alexander and Brennan Kane Johnson), who isn’t Frank’s biological kid.
Prone to being overly selfless, Fiona keeps her nose to the grindstone to bring home the bacon and support her five siblings. A straight A student, Lip turns an honest penny by tutoring Karen Jackson (Laura Slade Wiggins, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Private Practice), a beautiful classmate, in science. Her mother, Sheila (Joan Cusack, What About Joan?, The Office), is an agoraphobic person, who didn’t leave the house in five years. In the meantime, Ian partakes in Army ROTC at school and works at a local grocery store. The crazy next door neighbors and part of the Gallaghers’ extended family are Kevin “Kev” Ball (Steve Howey, Psych, New Girl), the bartender at “The Alibi Room”, and Veronica Fisher (Shanola Hampton, Scrubs, Criminal Minds), a nurse who makes extra money by ironing topless in front of a webcam.
