Cameron Monaghan's role in 'Anthem of a Teenage Prophet' is quite similar to his gay-Jesus role from 'Shameless'
If you were a fan of Ian Gallagher from the Showtime dramedy 'Shameless', the last year might have been painful for you. After nine successful years on the show, Cameron Monaghan, who plays Ian, quit the show shortly ahead of season 9's mid-season finale. But the good news is that the face behind Ian, Monaghan, has once again taken up the role of a troubled teen, Luke Hunter in 'Anthem of a Teenage Prophet,' and as it turns out, there might be streaks of Ian visible in the new character.
Speaking exclusively to Meaww at the new film's premiere, Monaghan shared with us what had inspired him to become so involved and invested in the project. "The film is based on a novel by Joanne Proulx which I thought was wonderful. I talked to our director Robin Hayes about it pretty early on in the process. And it was in a conversation with Robin that we realized we both have a lot in common and how we viewed our teenage years and some of the stuff that we went through."
