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.

[@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!!!!!

[@aseem2985]

Vice versa. Bryan would’ve been just as hilarious as Frank.

[@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....

[@targetcrunch3552]

I will always see him as Frank Gallagher 😂

[@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🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@micmac1121]

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

[@NightWatchersPet]

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

[@EliasBac]

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

[@pamelab8123]

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

[@clemeuxdeashiyo9184]

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

[@elliejaade]

All I see is frank I cannot deal 😂😂😂😂

[@nicksushkevich]

brilliant actor!

[@ndgv2]

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

[@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]

[@FuckGoogle2]

Stupid Flanders!

[@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

[@VenomHernandez]

Doctor Grant you should come take a look at this

[@jidmoore10]

He low-key alot like Frank lol

[@botondbolgar7449]

"You set the tone, Mark" - David Morgenstern

[@porcospino289]

Imho, Macy is a national treasure.

[@awakeningtovacuity8372]

Macy just keeps getting cooler as he gets older.

[@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 !! 😂

[@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)

[@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?

[@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

[@robotsongs]

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

[@RichardBuckerCodes]

the Shoveler !!!

[@caesarperez5797]

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

[@josephkennedy1839]

He talks just like frank

[@maze95]

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

[@SpaceCommand]

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

[@Sea-by4ov]

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

[@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.

[@AmyKimAnderson]

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

[@miklassic]

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

[@Rvainlefty]

I love his character man. Truly one of a kind

[@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

[@abdulrahmanyoussef5078]

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

[@lgmh]

He looks like old Luke Skywalker's brother.

[@PaulAngelini]

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

[@emmiem6159]

Wow, this guys is so lovely! 😄

[@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..

[@Mootux]

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

[@zyzzyvacation]

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

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Macy moon lol! Nice!

[@shanzaaa8532]

Frank gallagher in the flesh, damn

[@LikeTheBuffalo]

*This* is egg salad.

[@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

[@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.

[@michaelgiangiulio7090]

Frank Gallagher was the epitome of deprivation !

[@bn2ten]

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

[@SpikeAngelSolidsnake]

svp la Bienvenue William h macy

[@origamichik3n]

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

[@GeorgeLee85]

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

[@larrycarls7221]

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

[@WhiteAntelope7]

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.

[@nuthinmuffins5073]

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

[@Koekiepoekie]

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

[@captaincomfycactus]

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

[@MehOMy]

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

[@shadigif8916]

The shoveler

[@TinyNiord]

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

[@madisonl9029]

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

Dropping your what ? I think I should resent that.

[@KodyKarls]

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

[@andrewpalframan4666]

Colbert needs to do something about that terrible dye job.

[@EarmuffHugger]

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

[@bertagriese8282]

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

[@Mieqo]

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

[@sqrabbit1]

This makes me want to watch the Cooler again

[@yvonneamaral8769]

sqrabbit1 my favorite William H Macy movie 🌟

[@shreygr]

Only if we had Louis CK. Alas. Such a creeep.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

lolz!

[@helenpatterson3858]

Karn Chambal You know nothing. Years after the fact, women who participated in a CONSENTING act between adults are calling foul. He has issued an empathetic apology because these women now feel they were somehow injured. Not like Trump or Weinstein. People are no more evolved than the Romans who watched as peasants were thrown to the lions. This man's career has been ruined because a few women who have had 2nd thoughts.

[@themaestro7600]

UK frank miles better

[@monishdragon]

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