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).

  9. Ashley Bulla

    Hi there, my name is Ashley Bulla. I personally have never acted but I think it would be insanely fun and an all together new experience. I’m 19 years old, 5’8″, 135lbs, light brown hair, blue eyes and I live just a few hours south of Chicago, so it would be very convenient for any scenes shot there. I’m very goofy and outgoing so it shouldn’t be too hard for me to get along with the rest of the cast. Although I’ve never experienced acting, I’m confident I can handle any role you’d offer me. I adore Shameless just like everyone else and being a part of the crew would be absolutely incredible. Thank you.

  10. Sierra

    I want to come on the show and become Debbie’s bestfriend, to be the only one who cared for her ever. I feel like I could fit in this by having a story that Ve’s mom had an affair 20 years ago with a white man, and i’m Veronica’s long lost sister. I’ve traveled everywhere to find my mother again to discover i have a sister. Could chime in a little affair with Lip Gallagher, causing trouble with whoever he’s involved with come season 8. I’m turning 19 in April, i’m mixed, jamaican and white, currently in college at University of Louisville, not far from Chicago.

    Nikina, 17 but I look like I’m in my early 20’s. Female.
    Born in New Jersey, dark skin, brown eyes, or hazel contacts, natural hair
    petite build, , 5″5.
    Inviting and open, sensual personality. Shameless represents voices often unheard and documents the trials and teibulations that can come from being in an oppressive situation. The execution and deliverance provide comical relief while still discussing and somber topic. I deeply respect the artistry that goes into each subtle portion of the show, and admire the ability of the actors, director, writers, and production to steadily drive plot while introcately incorporating truths. I feel I’d be a great addition to the cast. It would be a humbling experience frought with learning, and I could bring an interesting, different dynamic to the show with whatever direction I’m pointed in. It’d be an honor to join the cast!

  16. Keara D. Singerhoff

    Hello To Whom it may concern, I would love to be on Shameless. It is a wonderful show and I would love to be a part of it, even if it was on one episode. I live in Clarksville Tennessee right outside of Nashville. I am an anime model and a singer in a cover band. I have had experience in theater but never film. Although I am working on an independent horror movie with friends. I am 16 and will be 17 in three months. My mother is very supportive in all of my endeavors. I am 5 foot 2 have black and red short hair am notorious for changing my hairstyles with wigs and color. If you wish to look at my anime cosplay looks. I am Harley Quinn or Clarksville. I have always been interested in voice over as well. It would be amazing to be part of such a successful television show. Sincerely,
    Keara Dawn Singerhoff

    Naturally bubbly, welcoming personality. I find the show so addictive to watch and I love both the situations and cast members in every ep! Living in Australia, I’d love to go abroad and start a new life for my family. Acting in small bits, here and there, I’m confident I can give the show a good twist.

  43. Alan Pinto

    The reason I love acting is because you can be absolutely anything you want, at any given time. Just like we were made to believe when we were kids. Acting is a gateway of self expression as well as a path that leads down the journey of discovery. To act is to remind yourself that the world is yours, and you can do or be anything you want. And once you remember that, you cease to be an actor, and you become a performer. No longer acting as someone you’re not, but performing someone you could be.

    My name is Alan. Latin Chicago Resident born and raised in Brasil. Multilingual, eager and passionate. Average build, 6ft, hazel brown eyes, and brown hair with a small mixture of blonde in it. Always sporting a 5 o clock shadow or beard.

    Please contact me at your earliest convenience.

  55. Alexandr J Milbrandt

    Hay I’m a 23 yeard old male 6 foot average fit long hair to shoulders blue eyes blonde

  56. priss

    I know im a bit late to the party but i recently got turned onto the show. I watched the show and immediately assumed the demo was people who might think “oh wow, thats how the other half live”…but I personally related and bonded with the characters. Through my ~”interesting”~ past as people like to call it. I try to distance myself from the mugshot.com repertoire my town has.

    although my background is in standup comedy and i dont have formal acting training i know i could be an asset. i lived through foster care/ been on my own since 15 put myself through college etc.

    That being said, I love the dark realistic humor ive seen on the show and how it portrays people as they are not trying to show a happy go lucky getting out of the bad situation because lets be honest…that’s not always what happens…I as a kid volunteered with the boys and girls club cause i love kids etc..

    anyway, i believe i could contribute to this cast because i not only have real life experience in the subject matter and situations but this show really speaks to me and where i come from.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  57. Miral Gath

    If i was to act in any movies or show it would have to be shameless i know i could play the part so well not only can i really relate to the charters so it will make acting much easier. This show makes me so happy so being able to be in the shameless family is a dream come true.

  58. Alexis Lawler

    Hi! My name is Alexis Lawler. I am 14 years old and would love to be on Shameless! My whole family watches Shameless (not together, it’s not a great family show) but I would totally love it!

  59. Michael P Farley

    Hi I would love take part in this show. I love the t.v. show series shameless. Even if I’m just an extra its still a great way for me to start out in my acting career.
