After meeting and performing on the stage several times, his mom and dad got married. Soon afterward, the pair put a full stop to their acting careers and opted for jobs that would support them and their new family.
During his childhood days, when Allen White was in elementary school, he was a prolific dancer. He was a pro at jazz, ballet and tap. Shortly soon, he joined a middle school dance program and a quick turn of events happened.
Then, at the young age of 13, Jeremy decided to pursue a career in acting. As soon as he got out of high school, he was cast to play Phillip “Lip” Gallagher on Shameless.Â

Jeremy had no kitchen skills before ‘The Bear’
For those of you who are unaware, let us tell you Allen White played the role of a chef named Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in The Bear and he had no kitchen skills but to bring out a realistic performance on the screen, he worked hard and prepped for the role by working in the kitchens of the restaurants across New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Jeremy had zero knowledge about what happened in the kitchen and what technical skills were required to be a chef so he had to start preparing for the role from the scratch. He did a two-week culinary crash course to acquire more knowledge about the life of a chef.
The Speed of Life actor devoted nearly 30 minutes to one hour every night after filming the series to ace his knife skills and chopping vegetables. We are pretty impressed by his level of dedication to his work. He did everything possible to put up a good performance in front of the viewers.
Jeremy starred in ‘Shameless’ for nearly a decade
Yes, you heard it right. Jeremy acted in the comedy-drama Shameless for a total of 10 years from the year 2011 to 2021. He bagged the role of Lip Gallagher in Shameless after he graduated high school. Obviously, at that point he didn’t know that the series would run for a decade or three U.S. presidencies but it did as it struck a chord with the audiences.
During an interview with GQ, Allen White spilled the beans on his end time on the series Shameless and he also went on to say that he began doubting his acting abilities. He said, “there was a period where I stopped feeling like an actor and I started feeling like I was just here to do this show.”
The Birthday Cake star further told the magazine, “It was an upsetting head space to be in. When it was going to end, I was questioning: Maybe I do just exist on this show. What else is there? Am I an actor? I was definitely having a lot of doubt when I was finishing Shameless.”
Jeremy has also worked in other films and shows
Apart from being a part of Shameless for 10 long years, the New York native also appeared in a couple of movies such as Beautiful Ohio, Afterschool, Twelve, The Time Being, Movie 43, Bad Turn Worse, You Can’t Win, After Everything, Chasing You, Viena and the Fantomes, and The Rental.
