William H. Macy Discusses TV Series, "Shameless"

William H. Macy, from Showtime’s hit “Shameless,” is visiting to discuss the hit show where he plays Frank Gallagher, the proud single dad of a large brood of smart, spirited and independent kids. You can often hear them shouting “Fraaaaaaank” through the neighborhood, but will Macy stir things up on our stage? We hope he’ll bring his signature Gallagher flair with him when he takes our stage. Interview at AOL HQ in NYC for BUILD Series.

Frank is acting really sober in this video

[@xavieryager1584]

Makes you wonder is he? 😂

[@NikhilSharma-pc3ot]

Some scam is afoot

[@susanvaughn8234]

Does William even drink in real life? Probably not I’m guessing or maybe occasionally an expensive bourbon or something.

Shameless helps me with my depression

[@kambermusic]

kay me too

[@Jacobsmith-me6ls]

Same

[@smileyface7256]

shameless makes me depressed but also helps it. does that even make sense

[@yeah1326]

kay Dont say that you have depression if you havent talked to a doctor or something

[@bleachzora]

Melvin Norin Ahlquist that’s unfair , some people know what they suffer from but they haven’t been properly diagnosed because they can’t

[@donnapetersen2100]

I am addicted to shameless. WHM is phenominal as Frank!

[@Boddissatva]

Donna Flowers me too I’ve seen them all. Such a great show. Interesting to hear his perspective.

[@ubongumoren7733]

WHM made this show. He's my best character in the entire show.

[@malcolmclewer5488]

Just about the best show I have ever watched I am 74... This show has EVERYTHING...Thankyou to you all... God Bless AMERICA....

[@lindsay-bay]

William H Macy is a groundbreaking Frank Gallagher love this show and the man cannot wait for season 9

[@fckem1000]

Do you know what groundbreaking means? If so do you also know that Frank Gallagher is a character that has been porttraid by someone in a similar way?

[@trillah268]

He is so genuine

[@sx20Ramar]

My favorite show. It's now 2020 & 1/2 way through season 10. This season is the weakest of the lot, but I still want to see what crazy things are happening to these people. Macy is INSANELY good as Frank. Fiona has gone, but the show still has me eagerly awaiting the next episode. PLEASE have a season 11! Update: There IS a season 11 coming somewhere in Spring of 2020!

[@carsonottocullen1542]

Yes, I completely agree, when I am a fan of something or even someone for the matter, I HAVE to see everything all the way to the end, even if the quality of the thing or the persons performance starts to decline...

[@fckem1000]

Seasons don't seem to get better with age. I thought everyone knew this.

[@AlbertoGonzalez-yu3pe]

For 67 doing a great job I think Frank is just a easy and perfect fit him. Very transparent individual

[@urmom2040]

Alberto Gonzalez hes 69

[@antduhnee]

r he’s 70

[@markmauk8231]

hes 73

[@twentyyears4788]

I want a frank spinoff movie or show. He’s such an interesting character and there would be no Gallagher family without him, he’s like the glue

[@FeelTheLack]

I don't know if you've seen the end of the series . . .

[@twentyyears4788]

@@FeelTheLack I have, but pretending that just didn’t happen or is just in a separate realm.. idk or maybe like about his childhood and parts of his life we didn’t get to see on shameless

[@FeelTheLack]

@@twentyyears4788 he IS a great Character and an even better actor. I'd love to watch him do more but I think they are done.

[@twentyyears4788]

@@FeelTheLack couldn’t agree more, and sadly you’re definitely right

[@cameronbuszak7142]

I think it would be really interesting to see a spin-off of his childhood, after seeing how his mother treated him and just how he came up in general has always interested me so much and I wish we knew more about the brothers

[@dannyblanco8544]

I loved shameless (still 100% do) but this gives me memories of how much shameless stressed me out💀 I’m so attached their problems give me anxiety 😂

[@carsonottocullen1542]

I totally know what you mean! It’s by far one of my favorite shows of all time! However there are times in my life where I specifically don’t go to watch it because I’m not sure if I can handle it... haha if that makes any sense at all..

[@Oatmilk345]

@@carsonottocullen1542 exactly this! Sometimes the show gets too real/stressful that I have to go watch something wholesome or do something else for a while

[@patrickhawkinson8399]

Macy- Shameless Cranston- Breaking Bad Buschemi- Boardwalk Empire The best of original series main character acting.

[@akivaweil5066]

so random

[@tonym994]

Buscemi was GREAT in Boardwalk Empire. all 3 are ,tho.

[@carsonottocullen1542]

Couldn’t agree more, also kind of random as well, but I always tell people that I think my all time favorite fictional character in all of cinema is Andy Botwin from weeds! Haha I don’t think necessarily it’s my favorite acting of all time by any means, but Andy is just my favorite Character ever!!

[@booromedia4604]

I reckon that directing SHAMELESS would be difficult because it's so established and there is already a formula and a highly detailed aesthetic

[@ulrich2333]

He's really Frank no gap in betweens

[@delraybrewer]

I tried to check out the British version and OMG *bow down* to Hollywood apparently. It's SOOOOO much better.

[@rumblefish9]

Yeah, the US version is shocking but has so much heart.

[@michaelfetzer8536]

what a great artist!

[@esmoratheexplorer8250]

[@diablo3soondiablo470]

Give this man oscar for this fucking role...

Hail to Frank Gallagher, the most SHAMELESS human on earth 🌎

[@theoneelfwhore3790]

From the thumbnail I thought he was on Morey

[@tonym994]

he mentioned working fast .shameless is one of my favorite shows,but too many times it looks as if the actors are trying to say their lines too fast. snappy good dialogue, but geez, this isn't gonna help the ADD situation.let the actors breathe more. I love you, Emmy Rossum

[@alexgopow]

I feel like, if people recognize your TRUE person as your previous act, you've mastered the role.

[@tradenama]

Why did they stop the Series?☹️ Just can't move on without Gallaghers.

[@abbic8994]

where the fuck am i huuuh can i say fuck yeah where THE FUCK AM I lmaooo

[@alexgaray1216]

How come his names William but they call him Bill?

[@smmanoo]

In the US "Bill" is a shortened version of William, like Bill Clinton was actually William Clinton....it's weird I know lol. Bob is also what we call men named Robert. Dick is used for Richard lol

[@shehrozyousuf7]

Why the hell it always feel like he's frank not william😅

[@brittanyalexis1000]

Wait?? William h macy was in on the college scandal too??

[@urmom2040]

Alexis. no he was not, his wife was..

[@ronniefaaosofia1616]

Classic Frank lol

[@FeelTheLack]

Bribing your kids into a good college is something that the wealthy have done for hundreds of years. That it hasn't been called out until just now is suss.

[@GeorgeLee85]

Come on Frank, stop acting!

[@dino966]

This guy talks to much. lol
