Shameless star William H. Macy has joined the cast of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes according to a new report. Deadline reports that the Oscar-nominee has rounded out the cast of the upcoming movie, but who he’ll be playing in the film in unclear. Though best known for his roles in dramatic movies like Boogie Nights and Seabiscuit, Macy joining the Apes series marks an interesting path for him as an actor, having previously not really appeared in franchises. Considering the placement of the movie in the timeline of the Apes franchise, it’s possible that Macy, along with other cast members, could be playing humans.
