Rossum also directed her first episode of Shameless this season, and her star has clearly been rising not just on the show, but publicly.

Macy, who recently renegotiated his contract and received a raise, has always earned more than his co-stars, given his film pedigree and past Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.
Macy’s exact salary is unconfirmed, but sources tell THR that his paycheck puts him “in the upper echelon of cable dramas.”
