Emmy Rossum | Shameless

At a young age, Emmy Rossum already showcased an impressive talent for singing. In fact, at seven years old, she could already sing Happy Birthday in all 12 keys! This eventually landed her an opportunity to perform onstage alongside a choir. Along the way, though, the experience introduced Emmy to another passion – acting.

Emmy’s first stint in the business was in 1997 when she landed an acting credit on the TV show As the World Turns. After a few more gigs on the small screen, she landed her film debut with 2000’s Songcatcher. She also had the chance to sing alongside Dolly Parton for the movie’s soundtrack. Since then, she’s worked on other projects, including her music albums Inside Out and Sentimental Journey, and more on-screen roles in Mystic River, Beautiful Creatures, and Cold Pursuit. Among all of them, however, Emmy is most recognized for her portrayal of Fiona Gallagher on the TV show Shameless.
