When I speak, and it's something that's bugged me my whole career, I have a tendency to speak slowly and with measured tones. And I put improbable, I'm doing it now, pauses that I don't understand. And that character was just rat-tat-tat. Yeah.

Was that fun to do? It was great fun to do. It was hard for me. And you had sound effects? Yeah. I worked at it a lot because it was a hat trick to talk that fast and do all of that stuff. I had to really get it down.

You know, Shameless sort of got in under the wire before we became so politically correct. And I don't like it. I was really proud to be in Ricky Stanicki because we're going back to those raunch comms, as they call it. I think we've got to do that, especially in this day and age.
