When Emmy Rossum threatened to leave Shameless if she didn’t receive pay equal to that of her costar William H. Macy, he was nothing but supportive.
“It’s a no-brainer,” the actor recently told People Now. “It’s just sort of obvious. Emmy is in most of the scenes, she works harder than anybody else, she’s a brilliant actress. She’s the glue of the cast.”
Last year, Rossum, 31, made headlines when she refused to sign on for the Showtime drama’s eighth season unless she was offered more than Macy to make up for the seven years she was paid significantly less.
