My son just bought the movie Gremlins. Remember the furry little creature who spawned mean monsters who tore up the furniture and the cabinet hardware like it was nothing?

I started wondering whatever happened to the star of that show – Zach Galligan?

Galligan was born February 14, 1964 in New York. His biggest acting job was in Gremlins. After that he starred in a lot of B movies and TV shows. He also starred in Gremlins 2, which was not a very big hit. He received a degree from Columbia University and is currently a screen writer and acting teacher. He married Ling-Ling Hu Ingerick in 2005 and currently resides in New York.

He has said “There are a lot of tough things to do with the business, I’m completely numb now to rejection. I get rejected for 98 out of 100 things I try for.”
