William H. Macy Says He's 'Very Proud' of His Former Shameless Kids' Post-Show Success: I 'Miss Them'

William H. Macy gushed about the love and pride he has for his former 'Shameless' kids on the latest episode of the 'Films to Be Buried with Brett Goldstein' podcast.

And I feel that these sort of are my Ersatz kids, so I'm very proud of them," said Macy, who played father-of-six Frank Gallagher. Although it became Showtime's longest-running original series, Macy noted that it "was time" for Shameless to come to an end.
