River Phoenix and I were friends for nine years, and I watched him grow and mature, and I also saw him struggle. I watched him deal with the whole up and down aspects of Hollywood and saw him bounce back, so when he passed away, it was such an enormous shock. Zach Galligan aspectbackbounce share on social

I was never really acting. I was not taking it seriously. Acting was very much a hobby for me. It wasn't really until I was finishing college and doing it sporadically that I began to take it seriously. Zach Galligan actbegincollege share on social
Discovering L.A., in particular in the early '80s, was pretty spectacular; it was fun and carefree, and there was not nearly as much traffic as exists today.

I had a blast in the '90s, perhaps too much fun, and maybe I should have worked a lot harder and partied a lot less, but I definitely don't regret the 12 years I spent living out in L.A. Zach Galligan 90sblastfun Change image and share on social
There's no substitute to actually being in the room and having people in the room feel the force of your audition. It's very hard to beat that. Zach Galligan auditionbeatfeel Change image and share on social
