Shortly after the news of Emmy Rossum’s departure from Shameless broke everyone’s heart, another cast member announced he’ll be following in her footsteps. Cameron Monaghan who came of age in front of our eyes as troubled Ian Gallagher is also leaving Showtime’s hit series.
Monaghan knew he’ll be exiting the series long before making it official, but stayed quiet because he didn’t want to spoil the surprise for the fans. He wanted them to experience Ian’s unsure journey with him for one last time, after almost a decade of portraying this iconic character.
“I was very lucky to mature and grow with this show. This role has been a joy to inhabit, a wild and special ride, and I’d like to thank Shameless as well as you, the viewers, for being there with him,” wrote Cameron Monaghan in an emotional Instagram post.
The young actor acknowledged the fact this show helped him mature as an actor, a professional, and a human and gain friends, family, and the best coworkers he could ask for.
You can see him next in superhero series Gotham and upcoming thriller The White Devil.
