The recognizable Shameless star has a very different appearance than how some viewers would recognize him from the television series that helped him reach national fame.
20 years after the show’s beginning, a recognizable Shameless actor appears completely unrecognizable.
David Threfall has a distinguished acting career, including starring in the well-known television series Frank Gallagher. The 72-year-old, who is now known as The Death of Bunny Munro, was seen by the audience at the Royal Festival Hall on Thursday this week when he attended the red carpet event.
The actor donned a long, grey beard and navy tweed blazer, which made him appear completely different. In the upcoming Sky Atlantic drama The Death of Bunny Munro, the actor will play Bunny Munro Senior.

The show, which premieres on Sky on November 20 and features David alongside Matt Smith and Rafael Mathé, is well-known.
Based on Nick Cave’s 2009 novel, the program has six episodes. It follows the door-to-door beauty product salesman Matt Smith, who travels chaotically with his young son after his wife passes away.
According to the show’s synopsis, “Sex-addicted, door-to-door beauty product salesman and self-professed lothario Bunny Munro finds himself saddled with a young son and only a loose concept of parenting.”
He and Bunny Junior embark on a grand and increasingly out-of-control road trip through southern England as the two struggle to contain their grief in diametrically different ways.
Shameless, an iconic British television program that aired for 11 seasons between 2004 and 2013, became David’s household name. A successful US remake was also inspired by the drama.
The Gallagher family’s leader, Frank, was renowned for his dramatic outbursts and his drinking habits. The actor couldn’t be further from his persona.
Over the past few decades, David has played a variety of roles both on and off the stage. He has appeared in major plays like Oedipus, Macbeth, and Don Quixote as well as other plays for Shakespeare and other theater companies.
He has appeared in films like Hot Fuzz, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Master and Commander, and Alien Autopsy. In Ripper Street in 2016, David starred as Abel Croker.
Along with movies like Nowhere Boy and Black Sea, David has also been involved in other projects, including Funny Woman, After Life, Troy, Dodger, and Code of a Killer.
Since 1995, he has been married to a Bosnian-British actress by the name of Brana Bajic. The couple is the father of two children.
She has appeared in roles in The Bill, Trial and Retribution, and The Bletchley Circle, all of which have been successful in acting.
