Shameless - Showtime

Shameless – Showtime

The family dramedy Shameless has been an absolute revelation for Showtime since it’s debut in 2011. With multiple Emmy nominations and a large and enthusiastic fanbase, this one of kind series has become one of the most respected productions on television today and now it is gearing up for it’s next highly anticipated season. Casting calls for several roles in Shameless will be taking place soon and performers of all ages can submit themselves today for available roles in what promises to be the most entertaining season yet.

Shameless follows the trials and hilarious tribulations of the unforgettable and unapologetic Gallagher family. This prickly Chicago brood is composed of alcoholic dad Frank, and his good hearted but scheming kids Phillip, Ian, Carl, Debbie, Liam and his put upon adult daughter Fiona who tries to keep them all together. This series delights millions of viewers each week with it’s whipsmart humor and equally unforgettable pathos that sets it apart from any family series that has ever come before it. Shameless is produced by TV legend John Wells (ER, The West Wing, Mildred Pierce) and British auteur Paul Abbott (State of Play, Cracker, Hit & Miss) and is based on the original Shameless that airs on Channel 4 in the UK. In addition to these two titans of television as showrunners the production also boasts one of the strongest casts on TV that includes the talents of Academy Award nominee William H. Macy (Fargo, The Lincoln Lawyer, Jurassic Park III), Golden Globe nominee Emmy Rossum (The Phantom of the Opera, Beautiful Creatures, Poseidon), Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds, Weeds, Josie and the Pussycats), Steve Howey (Reba, Sons of Anarchy, Bride Wars) and two time Oscar nominee Joan Cusack (Broadcast News, Toy Story 3, The School of Rock).

    I’m just going to keep this nice and simple. 🙂
    My name is Hannah
    I am 16 years old
    I have medium length, dark brown hair
    I have hazel eyes
    If body type even matters, I am not sure of my weight but I’d say maybe 150-160 mark. My body type is, well I have a flat stomach but its not skinny or anything and I have big thighs and such 😛
    I am very photogenic. Not to sound full of myself or anything, just saying.
    I’m very nice and love to make new friends and meet new people so I would get along really good. 🙂
    I can sing and kinda dance lol
    I’m a big fan of the show
    I unfortunately don’t have any experience with acting other than school plays.
    I’ve wanted to be an actress since I was very young. I am going to continue to pursue that dream.
    I love Shameless because I can relate to it so much. My life isn’t as bad as the Gallaghers’ but it is similar in a way. I hate to say this but my father is a deadbeat and a drunk. He was abusive at points and he left my family when I was young. He is in and out of my life. He only contacts me when he needs something from me. Usually money.
    My mother is a good mother but she is a bit bipolar. She has learned to control herself but used to she would go on rampages and leave me and my brother at the house while my father was out God knows where. However, she is better she stays and takes care of me and my step father.
    My brother is always there for support when I need him. He is always there for me. He is loving and nice and funny. He’s my best friend. He has Clinical Depression. He goes through phases of depression all the time. He’s almost never happy but sometimes if you catch him on a good day, he is happier than ever.
    I have anxiety and I am also bipolar. But I’m not out of control or anything. It’s on and off. I can be happy one day, upset the next. Sometimes I have reasons, sometimes I don’t.
    My point is here that I know most of what the Gallaghers go through and it is relatable to me in a way.

    Long story short, I know season 6 has just ended and season 7 will be in casting and filming eventually, I decided to take a shot at this, maybe it’s a possibility I could here from someone..? 🙂
    Thank you!

    I think it’s high time for Frank to have a black girlfriend that’s hoity toity in the day but by night is crazy, fun and can dance. I bring to Shameless what “Cookie” brings to Empire… pretend I didn’t reference another network cause when I get Shameless up for another Emmy that’s all that will matter

    hi, my name is zyanya and I’m 16, Hispanic , 5’2, brown eyes and hair
    I’m outgoing, funny, love to make people laugh, and am very passionate when it comes to acting. It’s always been a dream of mine but it never been able to go to auditions because my mom can’t afford to take me around because she has to work. But I fell I. Love with acting since a little girl I would make up my own story’s and play them out bymyself. I’ve always been a creative person and I love how I can be a complete different person with acting and bring out so much different emotions from a person by a TV screen and make them forget, escape in a way. I think that’s why I fell in love with acting because it always helped me escape and make me feel better when I was sad or when I just wanted to relax and have fun. I would love if you contacted me it would be a dream come true and I would do whatever I can to make it to an interview! I would be dedicated and always bring lots of energy. This is something I really love doing and something I want to do for the rest of my life. Please and thank you. Feel free to contact me anytime at my email or phone number 1(818)4926795

    i’m not gonna tell you what you want to hear, i don’t really know what you want to hear either way. I’m going to tell you what you should hear and what i think. I have seen every season and episode at least twice, i know what characters are playing and what characters aren’t. I know who left and who came back, i even talked about it to my dad till midnight on a school night without getting bored. I’ve never done this before, which i probably should have before doing this, and i have never been on a real stage. Only at school a few times which was in the cafeteria. My home life doesnt relate to Shameless that much, but does it have to? I would think that would be a fun thing to experience. I had always wanted to try acting, but we had never had the money to try some things. I do the same things everyday, and it would be nice to change a few things.

  8. Lydia Haile

    Hello,
    My name is Lydia Haile and I am 13 turning 14 in February. One of the reasons I want to be on Showtime’s Shameless is because I love how you mixed reality and drama into only 5 seasons. I also adore how you carefully painted all of the character’s lives in every episode. I usually find myself relating to each of them in a certain way. I do not have much acting experience, but every role I get I am bound to do well in. I take my acting preformance very seriously, and anyone and everyone I’ve worked for has always told me I am bound to get somewhere in my career. Acting has always been my lifelong dream, and I would appreciate it if you would help me achieve it. Thank you and LONG LIVE SHAMELESS!

  9. Meredith Lane

    Hi, my names Meredith and I would live to be in the show Shameless. I love the drama and craziness of it. Everyone I’ve seen on the show is always yelling and punching but at the end of the day they’re all one big family and that is one thing I would love to be apart of. Cameron Monaghan is one of my favorite actors ever and so is Noel Fisher and if I got a chance to work with them it would be a dream come true. I am a huge fan of acting and I would love for it to be a big part of my future. I am thirteen years old but I am very mature for my age and I understand things that most teens don’t. I hope that I can get a chance to talk to someone about doing this, acting is honestly everything to me. Thank you for your time.

  12. Vanessa Travis

    Hi, I’m Vanessa Travis, I’m from the Chicago suburbs and I am absolutely taken with film. My major is Cinema Arts and Science, with an interest in writing and directing. I have always loved and practiced acting through school, in theater, improv comedy, and a short series. Since I am from the Chicagoland area, I can relate and share an almost-kinship (cliche, I know) with the characters on the show. I’ve been a long time fan of shows like Shameless that push the boundaries of right and wrong and what’s socially acceptable, and would love to be a part of show that is as dramatic as it is funny. The world of film and entertainment is my passion, and I would love to be considered for this opportunity!

  14. Makenzie

    I have always wanted to become an actress ever since I was little, but because of where I live(d) and how little money my family has, I’ve never been able to begin to try and make it happen (like take classes or anything). My family doesn’t really try and help me with it that much, and it’s hard to really try and do it all on my own. My family isn’t as bad as they may sound, but they just don’t help me with this that much. I don’t have really any evidence of experience, but I practice acting in the mirror and when I’m alone all the time, embarrassingly enough, and I believe I’m pretty excellent. I am very stage shy, because if you make a tiny little mistake, it can ruin everything in front of everyone, but if I am behind a camera it is a lot different because I can just do it again. I can get into character very well and sometimes get a little too into something I’m reading or watching and start acting like the person I favor the mot or the main character, and sometimes I come up with my own character and think about how they would act and how they would affect the story or situation in the show or movie I’m watching. Um.. I’m kind of shy at first, but once I feel comfortable.. I’m obnoxious and loud and funny and silly and a giant bag of laughs (and don’t forget the wit ;3). I’m very expressive and love to laugh and have fun. Some hobbies of mine are drawing, sleeping, eating, making YouTube videos(rarely), SFX makeup with beauty makeup because it’s all I have (mainly bruising and making myself look dead/sick and creepy/crazy), and roller derby. I’m sure that if you’re still actually reading this, you may want to know more about me, like my age and such, so here it is.

    Age:15
    Gender: Female
    Height:5’1″
    Race:3/4 Caucasian, 1/4 Mexican
    Eye Color: Brown
    Hair: Naturally brunet, dyed magenta in the back half, teal-ish blue in the fringe, shoulder length, side shave, I don’t dye it too often, still healthy though (it’s a must for me), I have had it many different colors and patterns before
    Body Type: I believe average, maybe a bit chubby(?)

    P.S. Another thing is that I feel that if I were to play a character that is similar to the Gallagher’s, I would be able to relate to it quite a bit because I’ve been through some of the things they have, maybe not all of them, but definitely more than less, and I know a family that I used to practically lived with that reminds me a lot of the Gallagher’s. Even with the number of siblings in one house. Please contact me if you want to ask me any questions.

  15. Keymora

    Hello my name is Keymora and I am thirteen but I turn fourteen in October. I live in Sacramento, CA and I am a freshman. I am responding o this role offer because I have always wanted to become a n actress and I really admire this show. This show has always been my favorite because I feel like I can relate to it and I have always wanted to be apart. I am African-American and a bit of Canadian. I have experience. I have been in a few plays for schools and locally. I am very good at changing my expressions and becoming who I want to be and that is why I feel like I would do good on this show. Why? Because the show is mainly about differences and struggles that occur over time. I have been put through a lot of struggles and that is why I can control my expressions the way I can. When I am supposed to be or nasty that would not be a problem because that is sometimes how I already am. But I am also very nice, outgoing, and friendly. I can be friends with whomever whenever. Thank you for reading it means a lot to me. Once again because I love this show. Thanks again!

I would like to be on the cast because I can relate to a lot of things that happen on the show. It would be an honor to meet the cast and be on the show. Thanks!

  17. Natalie

    Also, personality wise, its all over. I can be shy at first, but once you get to know me my weirdness shows. I can be the perfect little angle all parents want one minute, and the next I could be the one they fear. I could be bubbly, sweet, and kind for an act, or I could be a little brat, snobby, selfish one. Its all in the facial expressions, tone of voice, and the attitude you use or have when acting. Again, thank you so much for your time!

I can be the perfect little angle all parents want, and the next I could be the one they fear. I could be bubbly, sweet, and kind for an act, or I could be a little brat, snobby, selfish one, its all in the facial expressions, tone of voice, and the attitude you have. I live in Wisconsin, and it would be an absolute honor to be apart of the cast on the show. Thank you so much for your time!

  25. Ashley Sullivan

    Hi I’m Ashley and I’m 15 years old. I have plenty experience in acting. I’m 5’1 but I’m loud, outgoing, witty, comical. I believe I’m exactly what this show would want. I’ve grown up with my close cousin addicted to heroin for almost a decade. My aunt and I would have to go into the bad lands of philly and bail him out of jail, and other times we gave money for “clothes.” We’ve seen him in near death experiences, and just when we think he was getting better he relapsed again and again. With my experiences not only in acting, but life I believe I would be an amazing asset to the show. Thank you for your time and consideration.

  26. Nikki Stanley

    Hi! My name is Nikki. I am 20 years old. I grew up with a big family. I’ve always been interested in acting throughout my life, from writing my own scripts as a child, to being in plays, and so on. This would be such an amazing experience and opportunity to be a part Shameless! I look forward to hearing more about the cast call! I hope to hear back!

  27. Janessa

    Thank you for considering me. Continued success!!

  32. Sophia Robledo

    I am a mature twelve year old turning thirteen in March.

    I have been in the speech and acting field before, winning first place after memorizing a monologue over seven pages long.

    I’m very good with acting, hencing that I have the ability to do facial expressions, emotions, etc.
    It would be the perfect acting job for me, especially since I live in the Chicago area.

    I also am very outgoing, confident, and willing to take a chance at a character role who is way out of my league or just right.

  33. Hayley Russell

    Hi I’m Hayley Russell and I’m 19 years old. I have experience and different acting techniques. I use my past experiences to gain emotions. I believe I’d be a good choice because I can be who ever I want. I’m crazy funny and an absolute joy to be around. I have lived this life due to parents partying. Ive been a bar fight with my aunt and some random woman. I have seen a lot and been through a lot and that is what makes me who I am. I am absolutely shameless.

  34. Vick Gallegos

    I’m writing on behalf of my brother, I think he will be do a great job, he has the enthusiasm and the joy to do it

  35. Scarlett

    Yes I have acting experience, but here is why you should really consider me…
    I grew up in crack slum neighborhoods on welfare in section 8 housing with an absent father and an addict for a mother whom I constantly had to track down, usually to let her know we had been evicted, yet again. From an early age I learned how to see without being seen, how to outsmart child services during their monthly visits to pull me out of class, how to fight, but most importantly how to survive. Needless to say I would have become a product of my environment had I not been pulled out of that life and thrown into affluent white suburbia, where I stayed through college. However, I was not so well received for years as my rough, defensive nature was as foreign to them as their polite, “use your words” approach to life was to me. I was a pissed off, quick to fight, poor girl thrown in with girls who were not even allowed to watch things I had witnessed first hand on TV. This is why I think I would be a good fit for shameless, because everything from Lips transition into college, to Fiona’s internal fight to be in a healthy relationship because she knows its “right”, but it doesn’t make her feel alive are all me. Having lived on both ends of the spectrum I can tell you it’s a catch 22. When you’re in the slum and have nothing happiness is easy because you don’t focus on what you don’t have or ask “Why me?” or think about what life could be because you’re too busy surviving. On the other hand it is nice to have nice things, to be fortunate enough to have an education, and most importantly to not have to worry about money. Beware though, because with a rise in social class comes conformity to societies rules of what is appropriate and civil. Thus the suppression of that raw, uninhibited, primitive instinct which is the very thing that makes us feel alive and gets our blood pumping. After living in a more cushioned life, so to speak, you begin to feel like your wearing an emotional straight jacket surrounded by a bunch of fakes questioning if you have become one yourself seeing as to how you now think before you speak and acknowledge consequences prior to violent outbursts instead of simply reacting. Still, no matter how well I pull the wool over the worlds eyes and they receive me as an attractive, put together, 115lb 5’4 blonde there is still that wild middle finger to the sky part of me that when pushed to my limit, wants to tell someone just exactly what the hell I am thinking and/or shove my fist down someone’s throat. If cast in shameless it would be liberating for me to tap into the emotions that have long been suppressed and because of this I would give you the most authentic and passionately raw performance and I would do it shamelessly.

    Hi. 🙂 My Name Is Alysia Born In Las Vegas Raised In Fort Worth. Im 19 Years Old, Love Going Out Experiencing New Things. I Would Love To Be On Shameless It Looks Fun.

  37. Jean-Luc Doiron

    Hi my name is Jean-Luc Doiron, a young actor from southern Wisconsin. I have been in several performances including but not limited to stage, live improv, and film. I have been acting since I was a child in local theatre and would love to branch out to the big screen.
    I think I would be an amazing choice for this show because I have lived the life of the Galiger’s and understand the role of poverty very well. I experienced actor and have been very successful on stage and screen. I hope you consider me in the future for this position and enjoy working with you in the not too distant future

  38. Mike Meyer

    I think I would make an excellent choice for this. I am from Chicago, and talk with that shrill, annoying dialect that most people from other places find repugnant. I myself am a shameless self-promoter and have very few limitations on what I am willing to do to get a cheap laugh out of an audience. I love Joan Cusack and find her to be a comic genius. If it sounds like I’m kissing to get this, well maybe I am. I did say that I am a shameless self-promoter, didn’t I? My headshot is you driving past my house and looking at me through the window.

  39. Justin Feuker

    Hey everybody! My name is Justin. I’m 22 years old soon to be 23. From Kenosha,Wi same birthplace as Tommy from the Alibi and only about an hour from Chicago :). I know I could be a great addition for the show because although I have no previous acting experience I’m very familiar and subjected the “Shameless” lifestyle. I’m a very easy going understanding guy but the most random things can make me tick. Which can cause some trouble. On the physical appearance side of things. I’m about 6 ft. tall and 165 lbs. Shorter blonde hair and blue eyes. I’m also moderately covered in tattoos along with some big holes in my ears. So I feel I’m perfect for any obscure role you guys need filled but open and comfortable to whatever role you see fit for me. Look forward to hearing from you guys!

    Here’s my Facebook page just in case:facebook.com/justin.feuker?ref=bookmark

    Hi! My name Shawnese Wilson I am 23 years old, African American women. I love Shameless series. Since the first day I watched it I was hooked and have been watching it every since. I also love the fact that you all feature my job on the show Save A Lot. It would be awesome to do a scene with them shopping at my store. I have been in many school and church plays in which some I wrote, nothing professional though. But I do believe I would be a great for a role in the show. It would make my dreams come true. I want the world to see me the way I see myself a true PLUS SIZES STAR.

    Hi!
    My name is Marcellus Sawyer. I am proud to be an openly gay, plus-sized, African American teenager. If that doesn’t scream diversity than I don’t know what does? I have always wanted to pursue acting since childhood. Movies were and still presently my escape from reality. I tend to call myself the “Vicarious King” because cinematic presentations offer a better life than actual reality. I have never had any acting classes or any form of training, but what I do possess is raw talent. I am constantly being told by friends and teachers, that I should be on the “big screen” entertaining millions of people with my humor. If I am blessed enough to be selected, I promise to you that I will give my all and make everyone that has given me a chance proud.

    PS: Other people at their best is equivalent to a quarter percentage of me at my best

    Hello, my name is Katie Fatigato.
    I used to live in vegas and they had auditions for modeling, acting and singing. I was picked 1 out of 5,000 people to join there acting team. Unfortunately at the time I did not have the $500 to give. The original price for photos and acting classes were closer to around $3,000 dollars. The production was willing to comedown that much in there price. I didn’t come from a family with money but I feel that dreams really could come true. I have been involved in church choir, show choir and different school productions. I would love to be apart of your production! Please let me show you what I can do.

I hope casting goes well and I wish you the best of luck. 😀

    Hi my name is Cheyenne Mapel and I am 17years old and a senior in high school. I would love to play a part in this movie because when it comes to emotional and drama you can count on me. Being in a movie would be an amazing experience. Not only for me but for filling my dreams of becoming an actor. I love to act on stage, I have played in 3 played so far during my high school career. In those 3 plays I have had the second biggest female role. I sing in my spare time at home. I write my own music as well. But most importantly I know I can play in a movie and be able to know all the lines and all the motions. Being in this movie would be an amazing experience and my family would a great support system. They have always pushed me to work harder and succeed in my dreams. If I get the experience to do this I won’t fail you.

I would absolutely LOVE to be a part of this amazing show. Even just for a short second. Pick meeee!

When the time comes for to select actors i hope that the show chooses me because i am dependable and reliable and i won’t let anyone down.

  56. Siobhan Flowers

    Hello!:) My name is Siobhan and I’m 16 years old, and I’m from the UK but have recently fell in love with the US version of Shameless and the characters too! I’m aspiring to become a film director so this opportunity would help a lot with being able to be on a set and have a better idea how things work. But just like any other Shameless fan, I also developed strong feelings for the characters whilst spending my week watching one season after another so it would be easier to work with them 😀 I’m a bright energetic and fun kid who loves learning new things and can easily change my characteristics as required to fit a role 🙂 And finally I just think it would be so much fun working with everyone and just such a memorable experience! Thank you:)

    I’m mixed with white british and black caribbean (jamaican)
    Brown hair and solid dark brown eyes
    Around 6ft ish

  58. emily bautista

    Hello my name is Emily Bautista, 18 years old. Watching shameless was like looking into a mirror and seeing my family. Im the oldest of 5 girls, dropped out of school to watch my sister’s but then realized I could do both–watch my sisters and pursue in achieving my GED. I have watched back to back episodes since the first season and cant help but see myself in fiona. This show touched my heart. It was about time someone made a series bases on true life obstacles and the meaning of “family” whether it’s blood or not. I would be perfect for Shameless, I have an outstanding personality, very head strong, open minded, independent, and love a challenge.

Its always been my dream to become an actor I am easy to get along with. My friends say I am an excellent liar in fact it has gotten me out of trouble on several occasions. I am athletic and I love to be active. Please, I beg of you, give me a chance and you wont regret it.

    Hey,

    My name is Danielle, I come from a Puerto Rican and Spaniard family (even though I look more Caucasian) and I am the first generation born in America. I just turned 22 years old and I graduate college this August 2014. With my college career ending, I would love to now do something for myself, something I have always wanted to pursue, and something I have always envisioned myself doing in the future, and that’s acting. I have absolutely LOVED Shameless and have followed the series ever since the beginning. Nothing would make me more happy than to be a part of the show that I love. It’s raunchy and sexy and bad ass, which makes me feel like I would fit in easily. I grew up in Jersey with the skyline view of New York, only 15 minutes from the city, and I’ve always dreamed of seeing myself up on those bright Times Square ads.

    Here’s a few facts about me:
    Age/DOB:
    22 years old– 07/20/1992
    Gender: Female
    Ethnicity: Spanish
    Height: 5″4
    Weight: 140lb

  65. Keioni Woods

    Hello, my name is Keioni and I just turned 19 this month. Shameless is the only show on Showtime that I watch religiously. I have participated in several acting jobs during my middle school and high school years. I am done theatre since the age of 13. In high school I have performed in Shakespeare’s Hamlet and A Mid Summer’s Night’s Dream. My acting (although it is not professional) it is unique and promising. I strongly believe that I have the abilities to make an impact on the show. My drama teachers from the past have seen what I am capable of. I can play a serious role or a funny role.. I have the special ability to cry on demand which I think sets me apart from others. If you would like more information or a letter of recommendation I can send one at at the earliest convenience. Thank you for your time

  70. "Trey" Jerome Schneider

    I have little acting experience aside from a few small productions in my school years, but I feel as though that means few or no bad acting habits and the ability to learn key parts with a clean slate. I’m extremely hardworking, but am struggling to start a career and have always thought about acting in the back of my mind. For me, something like this could be a complete life and career-changing opportunity. I would love to get a start in something that I can fully enjoy and express myself through. Playing a role in a movie would be a great break from reality and a chance to immerse myself into being someone else. Willing to work hard and do whatever is necessary to start a career that I can have fun with and enjoy. Every big star had the point in their career where someone took a chance on them. I’m not saying I’ll be a big star, but I’d love to get to chance to show what I can do.

    23 years old
    Caucasian
    6’1″
    athletic 185 lbs (can gain or lose weight for role)

    I can also provide photos or even a video if necessary.
