EW has an interview with David Gallagher.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

Going to the dark side was a “semi-conscious decision,” the 26-year-old Gallagher says. “I definitely came out of my college years [he graduated from USC with a Critical Studies of Film degree] hungry for work again. I had taken some time off, and I was really dying to get back to work and I really wanted a change. I’d spent a decade on 7th Heaven playing Simon, which was a great opportunity for me. It was a wonderful show and a great role and it did a lot of great things for me. But ultimately, at the end of the day, I wanted to be challenged by something new. And as I got older, I became far more interested in the darker characters. A few years back, when I was still fighting the 7th Heaven image, I was trying to say, ‘Well, I can do serial killers. I can do dark material. I can do emotionally dark material.’ Now, I’m sorta coming into this era, especially after Super 8 and a lot of my other guest appearances, where people are saying, ‘Well, David Gallagher’s very dark.’ That makes me happy. It shows that people have enjoyed my recent work and taken it seriously, and it’s changing the way that they’re looking at me.”
