James Wolk starred in one of the most talked about series of last season, Fox’s Lone Star. The show got great reviews and it looked like his career was about to skyrocket but, unfortunately, the show was quickly cancelled.
Calling the whole experience “humbling” and a “huge learning lesson’, Wolk backed away from TV and appeared in Next Fall at the Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse. Now, he’s back on TV in Showtime’s Shameless and has a 3-episode-arc on Happy Endings as Max’s (Adam Pally) new/old boyfriend, Grant.

Happy Endings airs on Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30c on ABC
