William H. Macy Shameless
He played Frank Gallagher in the US version of Shameless for all eleven seasons. Frank, a hopeless alcoholic and addict, was frequently seen sprawled out drunk on the floors around the house when he wasn’t in the bar spending the family’s meager savings. Frank was irresponsible, selfish, and egocentric. He hadn’t done anything in his life except collect disability benefits and drink drunk.
He was also aggressive, deceitful, and, as Lip put it, a “total f*cking asshole.” He offers nothing in terms of parenting or financial support, and he is frequently one of the Gallagher household’s main source of frustration. Frank has also demonstrated that he would give up his own children to get liquor.
Despite his easygoing demeanor, the protagonist might get agitated or aggressive, alarming others. He has been known to assault Ian, Fiona, V, Sean Pierce, Kev, V, and Svetlana, intimidate his children, burn down a homeless shelter, attack Monica, retaliate against Bill Darrgen, and attack Debbie for hiding meth. He is unconcerned about threats from Eric Stark, an armed killer, and insists that Liam’s school teach him.
William H. Macy Curious George
He is the Narrator, an unseen storyteller who narrates the events of each episode of the show in the American children’s animated television series Curious George. His narrations mostly convey George and the Man with the Yellow Hat’s sentiments as well as their actions, and they frequently serve as internal monologues for silent characters such as animals.
Most episodes take place in either the city, where George lives in an apartment building with the Man in the Yellow Hat, or in the countryside, where they share a tiny home near Lake Wanasinklake. This allows George to reflect on the experiences of both urban and rural children. Several episodes take place in unusual but recognizable locations, such as an airport or a train station.
