20 Little-Known Details About Emmy Rossum Shameless Fans Should Know
To get the biggest roles of her career, Emmy Rossum had to endure some tough casting processes to get these roles. When auditioning for Christine Daaé in Phantom of the Opera, she nearly missed the audition in New York City due to a prior family engagement. She was the very last person to audition, and did so in full hair, makeup, and costume. She was then asked to audition in composer Andrew Lloyd Weber's home and after campaigning heavy for the part, she won it.
Years later, when she auditioned for Fiona Gallagher on Shameless, she was initially told by producers that they didn't think she was right for the role.
However, she continued campaigning for the role and wearing the same clothes every day to auditions until, finally, she won the part.
