Gizmo's Pal Returns: 'Gremlins' Star Zach Galligan Reflects on '80s Classic

Thirty years after its June 8, 1984 release, Gremlins remains as iconic as it gets when film fans look back at classic '80s popcorn cinema. Its star, Zach Galligan, sat down exclusively with me to talk about all things Gremlins.

If I saw this guy on the street, Id never know he was in Gremlins.
But if I did know, Id say, “Byyye Billlyyyy”

I can't tell who's more adorable Gizmo or Zach Galligan.

Young Zack

[@BlackCatFilmProductions]

I quite agree. They are cool duo. And who can blame Zach for wanting to take Gizmo home. I had a toy Gizmo that I regrettable I gave away. But I won't make that mistake again.

[@Robert_Douglass]

There's really no point to the question, because the answer is so obvious. It's Gizmo, hands down!

[@Oddworld2024]

Mr Galligan. Thank you for making my childhood so fun. your staring in the now classic film, was an amazing. Choice. Your character Billy, I always adored him for his kindness and humility. And his romantic side. I hope this film still holds strong for you and your not tiring of gizmo yet. He’ll always be my favourite little man. Same qualities only add bravery,. And like the millions out there, I to named my cat gizmo. Givin to me as a kitten he made noises like giz did. So the name stuck right away. Anyways thanks again if you see this comment. Your still awesome sir. And cute
