The cast of #Shameless

FrankUSMain

Frank Gallagher ()is the father of six children. He is a deadbeat alcoholic, drug addict, and morally deficient freeloader who relies on his children to barely get by. He swindles the state welfare system at every opportunity and he starts affairs with anyone he can, leading him to have even more children. His opportunistic deceit appears to have been impressed on his kids. He begins a relationship with Sheila Jackson when he discovers that she gets maximum disability benefits for her agoraphobia. He is the biological father of Fiona, Lip, Debbie, Carl, and Liam—but not Ian, just their half-brother.

Fiona Gallagher (@ShamelessFionaG)is the eldest of the Gallagher children (23). Because of her mother’s absence and Frank’s neglect, most of the responsibility for child-rearing falls on her shoulders; this forced her to drop out of high school in her junior year. She works a few dead-end minimum-wage jobs to support her five siblings. Though often stressed and exhausted by her responsibilities, she never fails to perform them. Prone to selflessness, she sometimes needs to be reminded to look out for her own happiness as well.

Phillip “Lip” Gallagher (), born March 29, 1994, is the second Gallagher child (18) and the most academically minded. He was a straight-A student throughout high school, and used his intelligence in various money-making schemes, such as running an ice cream truck that also sold beer and marijuana, or taking the SATs for fellow students (often scoring a 2400, a perfect score) for a fee. Despite his above-average intelligence, his personal life behavior is the opposite; he smokes cigarettes and marijuana, drinks alcohol, pursues casual sexual encounters with any girl, and even steals vehicles. He has a strong bond with Ian and is the first Ian comes out to as gay.

Ian Clayton Gallagher () is the third of the Gallagher siblings (17), and according to Frank the one who resembles the most their mother Monica. It is revealed in season 1 that Ian is not Frank’s biological child, and Monica seems unable or reluctant to remember his father’s identity. After this revelation, Ian remains an integral part of the Gallagher household. He participates in Army JROTC at school, and during season 1 works at the Kash and Grab grocery store. When the show starts, the only other person aware of his homosexuality is his employer Kash, with whom he entertains an affair. He then comes out as gay to his brother Lip, and eventually the rest of his family.

Mandy Milkovich () is Mickey’s sister, and the bad girl of Ian’s class, although she has a sweeter side. Initially offended with Ian when he rejects her advances, she becomes a good friend, offering to act as his girlfriend to keep his homosexuality secret. Mandy is promiscuous and proud of it.

Sheila Jackson (@ShamelessSheila) is an agoraphobic germophobe, Karen’s mother, and Eddie’s widow. Sheila developed her conditions when Karen was young and has tried to overcome them for years. Frank seduces her in order to live in her home, taking advantage of her cooking, disability checks, and bedroom hospitality. Sheila is a kind and caring person, if a bit empty-headed. Sheila eventually overcomes her condition and continues to spend a great deal of her time with Frank.

Debbie Gallagher () is one of the middle Gallagher children (15). She is reserved, intent on positive impressing and willing to cover for others albeit influenced by the deleterious family culture, in contrast to her brash and reckless brothers. She brings baby brother Liam to school for show-and-tell when there’s no one else to watch him, puts a pillow under her father’s head when he’s passed out on the floor, and collects money for charity year-round—only some of which she keeps for herself.

Carl Gallagher () is the second-youngest Gallagher child (13). He shares a room with older brothers Lip and Ian, who try to keep their more adult interests from him. Carl is often in trouble at school for attacking other students. In his early years, he displays several psychopathic tendencies such as mutilating his toys and killing stray animals, although this behavior seems to be less prevalent as he ages, and he begins to show concern for Frank.

Karen Jackson (@KarenShameless) is Lip’s tutoring student and the neighborhood bad girl. She begins a casual relationship with Lip, but due to her promiscuous nature she refuses to make any real commitment, leading to a complicated relationship between the two.

James “Jimmy” Lishman,(@or_is_it_) also known as Steve Wilton and Jack, is a handsome, well-bred guy with a lot of moxie. He is pursuing Fiona hard, and he is not afraid to punch out and moon a notorious bouncer to defend her honor. He drives a sports car, wears an expensive watch and throws money around liberally, which Fiona finds off-putting. But he might not be all that he seems.
