Like someone mentioned in another review, 'You are the family guy in The O.C' and you are an awesome actor, you really deserve alot of appreciation from everyone!
You make me laugh and giggle all the time :) You really do make The OC very funny... And the show wouldn't be the same without you.
Now that The OC is ending i would like to wish you well in all your future acting roles, find yourself some good roles and make all The OC lovers proud and get your name heard!!
You rock peter Gallagher, keep on doing what you are doing lol.
Peter Gallagher is really an amazing actor. He's most well known for his role as Sandy Cohen on television's "The O.C." but he really made his mark in film before landing this role.
Peter Gallagher is really a great actor and makes The OC what it is. His portrayal of Sandy Cohen is fantastic and adds the main bulk of the stories to the show.
In season 1, we saw Sandy as a caring lawyer as he took Ryan home from jail. Even though we really saw only one side to his character, he was still great with everything else he did on the show.
In season 2, we saw a bit of a more desperate side as he fighted for his wife and he once again did a terrific job as he had to show more sides.
In season 3, his storyline was pretty boring and it dragged down most of his acting.
Overall, a great actor that really should be used more.
Peter Gallagher is hands down the most talented on the OC, he can play funny sarcastic, strict, and threatful. And you need to be able to when you deal with people like Ryan, Seth and Caleb.He fits the role as sandy so well. His character also has times where he has to play a good guy, and a bad guy,and peter gallagher can do it all, and sing. Cant wait to see him next season. I cant say i watch the OC just for him, but he weighs in hugely. Definetly the best father on TV. 1 word in this minimal 100 word review thatcan summarize peter gallagher is GENIOUS.
PETER GALLAGHER
(Sandy Cohen on THE O.C.)
One of America’s most respected actors, Peter Gallagher has starred on stage, television and in film, delivering stellar performances with every role he tackles.
Gallagher, born in NYC and raised in Armonk, New York, developed an interest in acting as a teenager starring in school plays and musicals. After graduating from Tufts University, he made his professional stage debut in the 1977 revival of “Hair,” followed by a starring role in the Broadway production of “Grease,” and in “The Corn Is Green”. He wowed audiences with his performance as the charismatic Sky Masterson in Jerry Zak’s Tony winning revival of the Broadway musical “Guys and Dolls.” In 1986 Gallagher earned a Tony Award nomination for his highly acclaimed performance opposite Jack Lemmon in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” He received further acclaim with a Theatre World Award for the Harold Prince production of “A Dolls Life” and a Clarence Derwent Award for Tom Stoppard’s “The Real Thing,” directed by Mike Nichols. He returned to Broadway in November 2001 in an acclaimed Royal National Theatre production of "Noises Off". In the fall of 2002 he starred in “The Exonerated”, winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Play and the 2003 Lucille Lortel Award and Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience directed by Bob Balaban.
The segue from stage to film began in 1980 with Gallagher’s feature film debut in Taylor Hackford’s “The Idolmaker.” Many film roles have followed including; “Dreamchild,” “Bob Roberts,” “Watch It,” “The Hudsucker Proxy,” the comedy hit “While You Were Sleeping,” “To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday,” “Cafe Society,” “Johnny Skidmarks,” and “The Man Who Knew Too Little”. Gallagher was also seen in the Oscar-winning film “American Beauty" and Sony Picture’s “Center Stage,” directed by Nicholas Hytner. He was last seen co-starring in the Adam Sandler box office smash, “Mr. Deeds.”
Having enjoyed extensive film work with directors/producers/writers Robert Altman and Steven Soderbergh, Gallagher was featured in Altman’s highly acclaimed film, “The Player,” followed by “Short Cuts” and “Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle,” features that were directed and produced respectively by Mr. Altman. Gallagher first teamed with Soderbergh on the 1989 feature, “sex, lies and videotape” earning him international critical acclaim. Six years later, Soderbergh expressly wrote the lead role in “The Underneath” for Gallagher. He will be seen this summer in New Line Cinema’s “How To Deal,” starring as Mandy Moore’s somewhat eccentric disc jockey father.
Gallagher also stars this fall in the original Oxygen film, “The Man with Two Wives.” His other television work includes the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning miniseries “The Murder of Mary Phagan,” “An Inconvenient Woman,” “The Caine Mutiny Court Martial,” “Cupid and Cate,” “Brave New World,” and the series “The Secret Lives of Men.” For PBS, Gallagher starred in "Guys and Doll's Off The Record" which documented the recording of the cast album, an English television production of “The Big Knife” by Clifford Odets, "Private Contentment" by Reynolds Price and Peter Seller’s silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Ramirez.”
Gallagher lives in New York with his family.
