Fun Facts About Emmy Rossum of Shameless
Actress Who Plays Fiona
Actress Emmy Rossum currently stars as Fiona Gallagher on the Showtime series Shameless. You might also be familiar with the actress from movies such as "Phantom of the Opera" and "The Day After Tomorrow". To get even more familiar with the young star, check out some of these fun facts:
Notable movie roles: Her first movie role was as "Deladis Slocumb" in the overlooked 2000 drama "Songcatcher". Her last movie role was as "Bulma" in "Dragonball: Evolution". Her Shamless co-star, Justin Chatwin who plays her love interest "Steve", also had a part in Dragonball: Evolution.
Fun facts: Emmy Rossum is a native New Yorker. She finds it hard to sleep while living in Los Angeles because it's so quiet compared to New York.
Emmy Rossum on playing Fiona Gallagher: The actress has said that playing Fiona has "brought out her ballsier side," and she can also relate to Fiona's need to take care of everyone. Emmy Rossum also likes that she doesn't have to be "all glam" on the show Shameless.
Fun fact: As a practical joke, the kids who play her siblings on Shameless put a sign reading "public restroom" in place of her usual name sign "Fiona" on her trailer which resulted in strangers using her trailer for that purpose before she arrived to work.
What she loves about her Shameless character Fiona: "I love her fierce loyalty to her family. I love the extremities of the situations that this family is in and the outrageous stuff that they let us do. We're lucky enough to be on a network that encourages that. I loved the opportunity to work with Bill [Macy]. I love that the character shows such duality. She's so strong, but has this vulnerability underneath. I thought she was very much a modern woman."
Fun facts: In addition to acting, Emmy Rossum is also a talented singer. In fact, she has sang with Pavarotti at the Metropolitan Opera.
Fun facts: The Shameless actress likes fast cars. She was able to do a "hot lap" with Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne. He asked if she was scared around 125 mph and she replied, "no, let's get to 180 and we'll talk." She says she drives badly though.
