Finally, a show for James Wolk. I’ve been waiting for Georgetown, unfortunately it wasn’t picked up. I also loved the only two episodes of Lone Star.

I’m glad he’s going from one critically acclaimed show to another. And at least Shameless already has a fan base. I was one of the few people who watched Lone Star and it had a lot of promise.

Speaking of James Wolk…

If anyone from FOX is reading this, could you PLEASE give us the rest of the “Lone Star” episodes, at least online?!

Thank god, the man is way too hot not to be on my tv screen. I loved Lone Star, and Shameless is one of my favorite shows. Hopefully he will stick around ultimately.

- Right? AFAIC, they don’t need to spend much time on his wardrobe, unless they are dressing the floor.

Good. Love him and love Shameless. Seems like a good fit. But yeah, I hope Steve shows up at some point. His storyline wasn’t wraped up, we never found out who was the blonde chick that kissed him in his mother’s house.

I’m happy for the actor I think he deserves the chance to be seen.I regretted the lone star fail.
