Shameless creator Paul Abbott has revealed that Bill Nighy, Matt Lucas and John Simm contacted him to ask for parts in the popular Channel 4 series.

However, he resisted their advances because he felt that guest appearances from well-known actors would harm the series' sense of realism.

Oooooh cool

Bill Nighy?! As In Film Star Bill Nighy? Haha Wow!

Im Glad Paul Abbott Has Declined The Offers Though, I Do Think That Guest Appearances Would Ruin The Realistic Approach They Have To The Show...

However, Matt Lucas Would Have Been Interesting Lol...

Lol yeah Matt Lucas would have been well funny.

I Would Expect Him To Turn Into Davythh Thomas Halfway Through Pmsl

I would love it if Bill Nighy and John Simm were in it, I love them both and they were great in State of Play Then practically the whole cast would have been in Shameless (OK I'm exaggerating slightly).
