Cameron Riley Monaghan (born August 16, 1993 in Santa Monica, California) is an American actor.
A former child star who played bit parts in film and television, he's perhaps best known for his role as Ian Gallagher in the Showtime series Shameless, as well as for playing Jerome Valeska (a proto-Joker of sorts) in the Batman prequel series Gotham. He would later play the true Joker, aka Jeremiah Valeska, Jerome's twin brother. Monaghan also provided the voice and likeness for Jedi knight Cal Kestis in the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and its sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
He is not related to Dominic Monaghan. No relation to the shockingly similar-looking Will Poulter either.
