Title: Peter "You know, that guy!" Gallagher
Post by: Gloria on September 04, 2003, 03:01:39 PM
Peter Gallagher is one of the most underrated actors.  He always plays supporting parts that are easily overlooked, but he is a very good actor.  He was great as the "king" of real estate in American Beauty and the brother in While You Were Sleeping. And those are just his more recent films.  I think he deserves a little more credit than what he gets. (Please forgive House on Haunted Hill. I'm sure he didn't mean it.)

i think he's great as straight man to Bill Murray's goofball in The Man Who Knew Too Little. And also in Short Cuts.

Liked him ever since he played Caesare in "The Idolmaker".

Also great in "The Player" and "Sex, Lies and Videotape".

Don't forget Gallagher and Darryl Hannah in "Summer Lovers." ... I bet some guys in their early 30s can remember the exact moment they first caught that flick on cable in the early 80s when nobody else was around. ...

He's good in underplaying his roles. He really makes the dialogue his own and I like how he does it. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a PTA movie.

But yeah, best eyebrows since Martin Scorsese.

I was sitting in a theater once and Peter showed up all the screen. The person behind me said, "Who is that guy? Doesn't he always play the bad guy in his movies?".
