Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy and a harder worker. Congratulations Zach, you make this show better and can’t wait for you to be on for another season! Great job Hollywood on getting it right!
Have to agree. Zach is one of the most talented and professional actors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Here’s hoping this is just the beginning for him.
Interesting, previews for this Sunday’s episode show Jodie starting to hate him. You figured he would be written off by the end of the season. Wonder what they are going to do with him.
the character on the show sucks, so i cant tell if the guy is a bad actor or if the director sucks or if the guy just cant act. he looks like a chip n dales dancer.
Proud of Zach! He’s very professional and great to work with.
Great addition to the cast.

The part was originally a small arc – 4 to 6 eps – but they kept expanding it because they liked what they were getting out of him.
Those of us who know him aren’t surprised at all. He does strike you as a chipendale’s dancer at first. Only after you get to hang out with him for a bit do you start to realize “holy shit, this guy is unbelievably charming and funny”.
He’s a legitimate talent. Here’s hoping Shameless is just the start.
I’m very pleased to hear the news!!! Go go and Go Mr.McGowan!
