He played his role in shameless so good that I can’t stop seeing the character of frank when I look at him

[@alexb3852]

Me to 😂

[@alyssajubinville]

Same 😂

[@KNOCKDOWNent]

Same 😂😂 sorry I’m late

[@mickymemes9913]

same🤣

[@larabaltes]

Same I came here cause at some point in season 9 I was like „this dude is an actor, what is he like outside of this??“

[@SkillLevel0]

Frank is wearing a suit? What scheme is he working on???

[@Skenjbear]

His long philosophical monologues/rants on Shameless are amazing.

[@flipian86]

Frank Gallagher! Shameless is such a great show!

[@UnleashedTraining101]

His role on shameless is incredible. It’s some of the best acting from anyone, ever.

[@targetcrunch3552]

I will always see him as Frank Gallagher 😂

[@clemeuxdeashiyo9184]

This guy is iconic..never seen an actor with such skills

[@MrKiely415]

William H Macy could’ve been a great Heisenberg if Bryan Cranston hadn’t done it.

[@SARYM911]

Yeah he can portray a devolving character quite well although Cranston has that voice that can make specific quotes very memorable

[@patrickhawkinson8399]

Brian Cranston, William H. Macy, and Steve Buschemi are gods of comedic drama acting.

[@DA-Red-Panda1]

Absolutely.

[@doreenwanjiku1034]

Right!!!!!

[@pamelab8123]

He's such a sweet guy and an AMAZING actor.

[@NightWatchersPet]

"...comes from France, which is a little Gaul-ing" *slow clap* well played, sir

[@shmookins]

Side note: it never ceases to amaze me how in today's world, Anyone can look up anything anytime as long as you have an internet connection. It keeps blowing my mind.

[@5easy]

Shadow Heart u high man?

[@shmookins]

Think about it: the clip shows an ordinary guy in the middle of nowhere looking up French/Italian pope history. Mind=blown. I'm one of those that graduated college without internet. Research was a bitch. And I will be high come December.

[@eonhand8]

I like to think your comment was the idea going through the kids mind at the end of Frank's spiel.

[@actuasco]

Yet people are still dumber.

[@IceColdProfessional]

And people are dumber than at any other time in human history. The end is nigh....

[@risingmusiciansacademy1961]

I just see frank pretending to act like he's playing a part to make money. Damn I love this show.

[@lunareclipse423]

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING liek he’s just pretending to be successful william is such a good actor

[@stonethecrow80]

one of the most talented, underrated, classy, complete actor of this era. I actually hate Frank Gallagher, the way is acted by him

[@lonwaboben6742]

Me tooo🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@elliejaade]

All I see is frank I cannot deal 😂😂😂😂

[@AriJeru]

Oh damn! they had to replace Louis CK on TONIGHT'S show! Well, here's to you William H Macy.

[@SportTalkForDummies]

AriJeru they couldn't get Plummer in time

[@XXXIMSEXYNIKNOWITXXX]

AriJeru he is being sued

[@helenpatterson3858]

They should have had him on.

[@nicksushkevich]

brilliant actor!

[@awakeningtovacuity8372]

Macy just keeps getting cooler as he gets older.

[@Rvainlefty]

I love his character man. Truly one of a kind

[@ndgv2]

he is one of the greatest actors of all time. i love me some william h macy.

[@dimitreze]

Ironic that he is replacing Louie C K because he REALLY would drop his pants in front of people.

[@VinceChacko]

We've got a winner here lmao!

[@crackbandicoot2348]

It's frank what did you expect lol

[@EliasBac]

Last time I saw him in a suit he was stealing the furniture from a Hotel Lobby. 😅 We all love (and hate) Frank 💙

[@Sea-by4ov]

he said shameless my god im dropping my knickers every other show 😂😂😂

[@SpaceCommand]

DAYUM!! - He's aged abit since his days on "Air Force One" back in 1997 😂😂😂

[@AmyKimAnderson]

I had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife. They are actors, irl. Artists for life.

[@micmac1121]

Shameless is one of the best shows ever made. Williams role is brilliant!

[@miklassic]

Haha I remember that clip so well, he's a sweet man

[@NewMessage]

When are we gonna get a standalone 'The Shoveler' movie? The world needs heroes!

[@milesmorales2106]

New Message what's that about ?

[@PCtransplant]

Macy's character in "Mystery Men". His superpower was being a great shoveler.

[@robpegler6545]

"We struck down evil with the mighty sword of Teamwork and the hammer of Not Bickering."

[@kleshayer3751]

New Message nt this time man 21 likes man

[@VenomHernandez]

Doctor Grant you should come take a look at this

[@Suiram82]

Strong hints of Frank Gallagher in that E.R. scene.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

I honestly thought it was a shameless scene for a second there lol

[@fujifilms9741]

I've noticed guests awkwardly reaching for or wondering if that mug on Stephen's desk is for them lol (watch William try and grab the mug, but awkwardly backs away)

[@robotsongs]

William H. Macy's chest hair got more mic time than he did.

[@maze95]

I saw him on shameless and i thought he is a very great actor. He knows his job well.

[@jo131169]

This guy is an amazing actor.

[@emmiem6159]

Wow, this guys is so lovely! 😄

[@Koekiepoekie]

Yet again a spotless acting job from Frank, acting like William H Macy.

[@nuthinmuffins5073]

Yay! The best interviews (and moon shots) are William H Macy interviews.

[@bn2ten]

Why does the thumbnail make it look like this is from 2003 lmao

[@somedudesmom9540]

Best show ever! Love mr. Macy!!

[@showtimelakers1795]

I know him from Jurassic Park, dammit!

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

he was hilarious in that lol

[@taylorh7155]

William H. Macy isn't in Jurassic Park

[@79havanna]

@@taylorh7155 he is

[@stanleyyelnats3754]

@@taylorh7155 His kid landed on the island with his Uncle in a parachute accident

[@MCubedCosplay]

@@taylorh7155 you’re technically right, but he is in Jurassic park 3

[@GeorgeLee85]

You know what, he is frank when he was saying "you know what"

[@botondbolgar7449]

"You set the tone, Mark" - David Morgenstern

Yeah! Stay Human with the Kenny Garrett "Happy People" entrance!

[@jidmoore10]

Stupid Flanders!

[@porcospino289]

Imho, Macy is a national treasure.

[@Mieqo]

Oh Stephen ... never thought I would think less of you :( ...

[@zyzzyvacation]

Even Katie Couric got a glimpse of the Macy moon @ 3:56

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Macy moon lol! Nice!

[@RichardBuckerCodes]

the Shoveler !!!

[@shadigif8916]

The shoveler

[@lyzegfan]

The ER scene is even more funny because the look laura gives prior to get in the room. And also because of Morgesntein an Kerry relationship in the show..

[@kelvinjimmyphiri1186]

This is a great man kkkkkk I like this guy

[@mdog86]

Never knew his dad flew the b-17, my granddad was a b-26 pilot in ww2. He actually got shot down and miraculously survived german pow camp. Though my granddad would never talk about it, probably because of that experience.

[@abdulrahmanyoussef5078]

I think the shadow of Frank will follow him until he dies

[@MforMovesets]

I loved Emergency Room. Especially that weird ass nightmare episode.

[@frankie5862]

MforZorro | Movesets first time I’ve ever heard it’s full title, usually it’s just ER !! 😂

[@lgmh]

He looks like old Luke Skywalker's brother.

[@josephkennedy1839]

He talks just like frank

[@KodyKarls]

6:36 - I don't understand what that meant lol

[@jimbush6398]

One of his best movies. Hogs

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday william from italian boy live in rome

[@sqrabbit1]

This makes me want to watch the Cooler again

[@yvonneamaral8769]

[@hendricksroshane]

Love❤

[@karsonpalmerswork]

I love him so much look at frank go

[@TinyNiord]

Tried to get a ticket to Krystal at the Virginia Film Festival ... bloody thing sold fast.

[@kiyr467]

he makes Colbert better

[@Mootux]

I'd love a burger and beer with Frank, although knowing him I'd likely get stuck with the bill

[@freshavocado9391]

The best actor

[@slappygrandma264]

The season 8 mustache is on poooiiiintttt

[@ashg2336]

Wow frank really cleaned up

[@madisonl9029]

Dont believe this man hes just pretending to get drugs and liquor 😂😂

[@CatCommando]

so instead of Louis CK talking about pulling his pants down we get the same chat from Macy?

[@coinsagE46m3]

Are you an idiot?

[@murrtravis1]

Yea but he doesn't do it in a personal setting jackin it in front of people though.. big difference there

[@macbookproearly2011]

yeah he does it in public and we call it professional?

[@LuqaS15]

Shameless is great. Really funny and really moving, sometimes - the best of both drama and comedy worlds. It's the only series perhaps I like "the American" version better.

[@drakequill733]

Hello....Paul Kirby (JP) 🦖

[@brianknickerbocker8518]

Dropping your what ? I think I should resent that.

[@saultube44]

I wanted to listen to this men without the Shameless' craziness, because he's brutally honest but also analytical on the show, so I wanted to hear him talking, and he didn't disappoint, the ugly truth, the best conversations in the end. And you see how fucked up people are, when you face them with reality and how life situations make humans suffer, on the brave few stay, the rest ran away like the weak cowards they are; this is why we can't have social and moral progress ASAP, people want guaranteed entertainment to have their fix, not engage in thinking and empathizing with other people's problems

[@caesarperez5797]

All I hear is Frank Gallager cheating his way in to tv as a director!

[@alanpyne896]

His dad was a B-17? How does that even work?

[@CBuehler82]

Weird to see Frank Gallagher sober

[@captaincomfycactus]

Huh, that's a weird way to spell Louis C.K

[@SpikeAngelSolidsnake]

svp la Bienvenue William h macy

[@michaelgiangiulio7090]

Frank Gallagher was the epitome of deprivation !

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

We live in a new Victorian era. Everything has to be the 2017 version of "Proper, prim behavior" now, known as PC. Backlash for the excesses of the 90's I guess, just as the Victorian kids were rebelling against the Bohemian values of their parents by being a bunch of squares.

[@duckdude6958]

Willam h Macy is a amazing actor and he is amazing and super funny in shameless and he is so much better then Louis ck he shouldn’t even be in the same sentence

[@larrycarls7221]

There is a homeless guy in central of Lund Sweden who looks exactly like William H Macy

[@vwiss4213]

I loved Dr. Morgenstern... and ER. *sigh*

[@shanzaaa8532]

Frank gallagher in the flesh, damn

[@milliekagz6277]

Watching this and all I see is Frank.

[@EarmuffHugger]

I have a "Help Wanted" sign if anybody wants it.

[@rae0521]

Betcha a lot of folks don't know that William H. Macy is a FIRST CLASS woodworker? He makes fabulous items in his shop including turned bowls on his lathe. His work has appeared in a big spread in "Fine Woodworking" magazine.

[@michaelwalker3263]

Betcha lots of people find that fact super uninteresting

[@majidmoslemzadeh5675]

Frank Gallagher stars l love W H M

[@queensinthesky]

Did Stephen even mention Louis or the scandal? His show is relevant in the story so I hope he did.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

he did in another recent clip just now

[@LikeTheBuffalo]

*This* is egg salad.

[@andrewpalframan4666]

Colbert needs to do something about that terrible dye job.

[@LobsterAfternoon]

Louis CK looks different

[@bertagriese8282]

Crowd doesn’t laugh at his stories - don’t they like him?

[@monishdragon]

Spoiler Alert if you haven't finished watching season 7 of Shameless.

[@meminhernandez3355]

Fucking frank!!

[@tomgucwa7319]

Junkie is easy

[@origamichik3n]

Stephen, God gave William H. Macy a gift. He shovels well. He shovels very well.

[@bpl32614]

Frankkkkk

[@MehOMy]

Wow, Louis CK is looking a lot like William H. Macy these days. 🤔
