While looking back on the Showtime series, William, 74, said that he was happy to see how far the actors who played his children have come.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">For those who may not have caught the critically-acclaimed series, William plays the father Frank Gallagher in\u00a0<em>Shameless<\/em>, and he\u2019s father to six children: Fiona (<strong>Emmy Rossum<\/strong>), Lip (<strong>Jeremy Allen White<\/strong>), Debbie (<strong>Emma Kenney<\/strong>), Carl (<strong>Ethan Cutkosky<\/strong>), Liam (<strong>Christian Isaiah<\/strong>), and Ian (<strong>Cameron Monaghan<\/strong>). Even though the series ended in 2021, many of the actors have gone on to critically acclaimed projects like Jeremy\u2019s role in <em>The Bear.\u00a0<\/em>Emmy has also starred in many hit movies and TV shows like\u00a0<em>The <\/em><em>Phantom of the Opera<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5282964\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5282964\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5282964\" src=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/william-h-macy-talks-shameless-kids-embed.jpg?quality=100&amp;w=620\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"331\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5282964\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Tullberg\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">Even though William was just their on-screen dad, he admitted that he still feels a paternal sense of pride when he sees how well they do. Even though he felt that <em>Shameless<\/em>\u2018 ending was on time, he admitted that he\u2019s still \u201cproud\u201d of the other actors. \u201cThey\u2019re all doing really well, which is great.
