About

William H. Macy is an American actor who built his career on collaborations with playwright David Mamet before breaking through as the hapless car salesman Jerry Lundegaard in the Coen Brothers' Fargo (1996), earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He spent a decade playing the charismatic deadbeat Frank Gallagher in Showtime's Shameless (2011-2021), a role that brought him two Emmy Awards and four Screen Actors Guild Awards. Macy has long been one of Hollywood's most reliable character actors, equally at home in independent films and mainstream productions.
