Macy’s Frank Gallagher to be part of both traditions and neither, providing a new third way. In fact, the grayer the character, the better the drama. that are unrestricted by censorship or good taste they are allowed to explore the repellant.

FRANK FROM SHAMELESS SERIES
Frank is of course informed by that more directly out-and-out comedic series about the direst of poverty in a fictional council estate in England. As the American reimagining of the character who held together 11 long seasons of the Channel 4 series, U.S. As much the American reaction to the original UK Shameless as a totally new character, Macy’s hard-drinker owes a great debt to the Frank Gallagher of Manchester: the David Threlfall creation. Macy’s annually convivial turn as Frank Gallagher comes from the fact that he is not quite the product of one TV culture but two.
