## Resource

Ethan Cutkosky joins Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo to dive deep into his legendary 11-season run on Shameless, his "White Boy Carl" era, and the wild stories from growing up on set. From nearly quitting acting before booking his breakout role to his infamous arrest in Burbank and his unexpected connection to the Power Universe as young Tommy Egan, Ethan holds nothing back. Plus, the guys talk about his new passion for Jiu-Jitsu, traveling to Brazil, his music career as EKAT19, and what it was really like working alongside icons like William H. Macy and Adam Sandler.
