Zachary Wolfe Galligan[1] (born February 14, 1964) is an American actor.

Galligan was born in New York City, the son of Carol Jean (née Wolfe), a psychologist, and Arthur John Galligan, a lawyer[1] who was a founding partner of the Dickstein, Shapiro & Galligan law firm.[2] He has a sister, Jessica,[3] and attended Columbia University.[4]

Galligan's breakthrough role was as the lead actor in the Gremlins movies with co-star Phoebe Cates. Those movies were his closest brush with stardom, however. His acting career subsequently fizzled. He still continues to act, but only in minor parts and in B movies, although he has made headway in recent years with some notable TV appearances and stars in the new indie film Let Them Chirp Awhile (2007) alongside Related star Laura Breckenridge, Brendan Sexton III, and Justin Rice.
