12 Days: Zach Galligan in Gremlins


Many people argue whether movies like Gremlins and Die Hard are actually Christmas movies.  To me, whether Santa appears or not, if it has a any bit of Christmas in it, and you like to watch it over the holidays, it's a Christmas movie.


I remember the first time our family rented Gremlins at the video store.  I was pretty young to really enjoy it and got about quarter through it before getting scared and heading to my room.  Of course I watched and it enjoyed it years later, taking special notice of the adorable face of actor Zach Galligan.


Zach got his start acting professionally in the 1982 ABC After School Special TV Movie, A Very Delicate Matter. That delicate matter, and the subject of Zach's first on screen appearance was.gonorrhea.   Thankfully the subject matter didn't  stall Zach's career from moving along, and from getting cast in two years later in his first feature film, Gremlins.


In addition to Gremlins 2 in 1990, Galligan continued to work steadily both in film and on Television but none of his projects garnered the young actor the attention he received for the original Gremlins.  Galligan has been busy this past year and has five movies coming out next year, not to mention the rumored Gremlins 3, which Galligan has helping to get made. 


Although Galligan appeared in a few straight to video titles with titles that imply there might be a little nudity, (Mortal Passions) it didn't unfortunately occur with Galligan.  Galligan did briefly show his butt in the 1992 flick All Tied Up.  Although only very briefly naked, the bondage scenes were still pretty hot.  Check out some caps on Page 2 HERE:
