What Has Emmy Rossum Been Doing Since Shameless?
By Robert King
The first role Emmy Rossum took on after leaving "Shameless" was uncredited, playing a caroler in Season 4, Episode 1 ("401 Unauthorized") of "Mr. Robot." The reason for the blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo is that her husband, Sam Esmail, is the showrunner of "Mr. Robot" and was directing this particular episode. Rossum's next role would be as a mom, and she announced on Instagram on May 24, 2021, the birth of her first daughter.
In 2022 Rossum appeared in the Peacock biographical series "Angelyne," which was a complete, and uncomfortable, transformation for the actress. To look like the flamboyant '80s Angelyne, Rossum spent four to five hours in makeup, wore two pairs of contact lenses, and ended up with painful blisters from wearing fake breasts. But through it all, Rossum just focused on her excitement and how lucky she was to have this opportunity (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Rossum will be returning to television this year, with a role in the highly anticipated Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room, co-starring Tom Holland and Amanda Seyfried. The series will be an anthology and it's not yet clear what storyline Candy, Rossum's character, will have, but we're excited to see what Rossum brings to the table.
