More Information
Did You Know..
Tina Malone
(Actor)
.. Mimi Maguire
Born:
January 30, 1963
in
Liverpool
Best Known For:
Shameless.
Early-life:
Tina Malone was born in Liverpool on January 30, 1963. She attended Liverpool Institute High School for Girls and showed a passion for acting. After some minor TV roles, she landed parts in Brookside and Blonde Fist, as well as appearing in Victoria Wood's dinnerladies, before landing a part as the terrifying Mimi Maguire in Shameless in 2005.
Career:
Malone has been praised for her acting but her own personality came to the fore when she was a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother in 2009, where she was one of the more popular housemates. Since then, she has also received recognition for her extraordinary weight loss - having a gastric balloon fitted to help her lose four stone in weight. She has been outspoken about her bipolar disorder and health problems. She also runs a theatre school in Liverpool.
Quote:
'You can go on forever about ‘my metabolism slower than yours.' The point is: you need to exercise to speed up your metabolism and then you can eat anything you want in life. But just have a bite, not the whole box which is what I've done for 15 years.'
Trivia:
In December 2013, at the age of 50, she gave birth to a daughter.

Rebecca was inspired by her mother to have Irish dancing lessons when she was three and competed in various competitions. She first acted on stage in a production of Tommy at Manchester Opera House, following her brother Charlie's example.
Career:
Ryan was cast in State of Play after her brother, who was already cast in the TV series, recommended her to play his little sister. Following this, Ryan landed the role as Debbie Gallagher in Shameless. Her most notable television roles since then have included playing Vicki MacDonald in Waterloo Road, Ellie McCall in Doctors and Gemma Dean in Casualty. Ryan also performs in theatre productions. She starred in the UK tour of Beryl, which was written by her Shameless co-star Maxine Peake.
Quote:
'I was 11 when Shameless started and still too young to realise how unusual that was. It was only when people started recognising me that it became a bit weird.'

David Threlfall
(Actor)
.. Frank Gallagher
Born:
October 12, 1953
in
Manchester
Best Known For:
Playing foul-mouthed Frank Gallagher in Shameless.
Early-life:
Born in Manchester on October 12, 1953. He has a brother; their father was a plumber. David never wanted to be an actor, his first love was football, but thanks to a little encouragement from teachers, he trod the boards in a school production of The Crucible. After a short stint at art college in Sheffield, and a few months labouring, he became a student at Manchester Polytechnic School of Drama. His breakthrough role came in the gritty 1977 drama Scum.
Career:
Aside from a lean period at the back end of the 1990s, Threlfall has rarely been out of work. His small-screen work includes roles in Mike Leigh's Kiss of Death, a 1984 staging of King Lear (opposite Laurence Olivier), Conspiracy and The Queen's Sister. His most famous on-screen character is that of chain-smoking patriarch Frank Gallagher, a role he held in Channel 4 drama Shameless between 2004 and 2013. Other projects include The Russia House, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Housewife 49, Hot Fuzz, Nowhere Boy and The Ark. He was also made a surprisingly good Tommy Cooper in the ITV biopic Not Like That, Like This.
Quote:
On acting: 'I just like getting up and pretending. It's the game of pretending you're other people, that's the liberating thing.'
Trivia:
He supports Manchester City. He received an honorary doctorate from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2013.
