Zach Galligan

It was one of the biggest films of the 1980s and one that’s still beloved to this day. “Gremlins” introduced us to actor Zach Galligan, who many felt was poised to be a breakout star thanks to his leading role in the film where he faces off against creatures that you’re not supposed to feed after midnight or get wet. Galligan’s first experience with on-screen acting came in 1983 when he was in a television movie called “Jacobo Timerman”.

The next year was a huge one, starring in the sci-fi horror-ish hit “Gremlins”, directed by Joe Dante. “Gremlins” was made with an $11 million budget, and pulled in over $150 million at the box office. It wasn’t just audiences that loved it, as critics also called it an instant classic in the genre. Galligan’s latest movies were Wolfman’s Got Nards back in 2018 and the film Madness in the Method in 2019.
