Career
Gallagher began acting at the age of two, appearing as a model in a print advertisement. This exposure led to roles in several television commercials, including some for Walt Disney World and Burger King. Gallagher made his film debut at the age of eight, playing one of the children in the 1993 sequel, Look Who's Talking Now. Throughout the 1990s, he appeared in several made-for-television films, and had a role in the 1996 film, Phenomenon.
Gallagher was cast as Simon Camden, the second son of Reverend Eric Camden, on the television series 7th Heaven; the series' success helped Gallagher become well known among television audiences. He played the role from the series' 1996 beginning to 2003, and reprised it from 2004 to 2006, when the show will conclude. He took the year off from the show to attend college.
Gallagher had leading roles in the theatrical films Little Secrets, in which he was the love interest for Evan Rachel Wood's character, and Kart Racer, in which he played a competetive racer. Both of the films received limited theatrical releases, in August 2002 and September 2003, respectively, but did poorly at the box office.<ref name="secrets">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="kart">Template:Cite web</ref> Most of his recent films have been independently made.
