Season 3 Guest Stars Lined Up

According to Deadline Hollywood, Emmy-winning actor Bradley Whitford and two others have lined-up guest roles for season 3 of Shameless:

"Bradley Whitford, Eric Edelstein and Maile Flanagan have been cast for arcs on the Showtime dramedy Shameless. Whitford will play Abraham, a powerful, well-dressed, sophisticated gay man who is a political activist. Edelstein, repped by UTA and 3 Arts, will play Bobby Mallison, a seemingly benign and polite manager of a grocery store who makes utterly shameless demands on his female employees. Flanagan, repped by Bauman Redanty & Shaul and manager Miriam Milgrom, will play Connie, the Mid-Western co-worker at a company where Fiona (Emmy Rossum) goes to work."

Emmy's Chicago Re-Cap

Yesterday we gave you our re-cap of the week in Chicago. However, we weren't actually there. Emmy Rossum was, though. And Emmy posted a re-cap of the week that was to her Facebook page, check out the post below.

"Spent the week in Chicago shooting in and around the Gallagher street for Shameless. It’s always a mad dash from one location to another when we film in Chicago. The energy of the city and the sheer amount of material we shoot in 5 days (70 pages! No joke!) adds to the raw energy that is so palpable in our cast and on the show. During our Chicago shooting days, we eat on the go (burgers or pizza) standing on street corners or sitting on the pavement between camera set-ups and we change costumes in the bathrooms of local churches and sometimes people’s homes when they open their doors to us, all as 3 cameras are running around trying to get a shot before the sun goes down or it starts to rain. It’s the least glamorous filming situation I’ve ever been in and I love every minute of it. Labor day weekend will be a little break for us. We just wrapped episode 6 (season 3) so we are at the halfway mark of the season. Happy to have a few days off and will be ready to go back to work at 6am Tuesday. Happy Labor Day!!! 

Love Emmy."
