SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details and scene descriptions about the new crime series “Furious.” The first three episode are available to stream on Hulu.

Emmy Rossum was shooting “Shameless” several years ago on her birthday when she received a call from her estranged father.

“He called me as he sometimes did — I had only met him a couple times — and he told me that his mother, who I had never met, was at the end of her life, and did I want to meet her,” Rossum says. “I said a resounding yes. I hopped on a plane on a Saturday morning and flew to Oklahoma to meet her. It was a life changing experience because I had never known or met anyone related to my father or related to me on that side.”
