Imagine being a young actor, just 19 years old, working on a Steven Spielberg-produced film. Not just any film, but one that would become a beloved 80s classic: Gremlins! That was the reality for Zach Galligan, who landed the lead role of Billy Peltzer.
But the experience gets even better. Galligan recently shared a fantastic story from his time on set, involving Spielberg’s office, some downtime, and a legendary arcade showdown. Remember, this was the 80s, when arcade games were all the rage. Having them at home or in your office was a real luxury.
At GalaxyCon Columbus 2024, Galligan recounted this unforgettable experience, an encounter he still remembers vividly over 40 years later. (Click on the media bar below to hear Zach Galligan.)
