Actor Evolution: Kyle Gallner


Kyle Gallner is one of those actors that is constantly popping up in whatever I'm watching.  Always just -bam!- there he is!  It's an absolute joy because once he appears or I see his name in the credits, I know I'm in for some superb acting.  The guy just always brings his A-game.  He's got that James Dean/natural thing happening.

Whether he's playing the bashful charmer or the psycho-next-door, he consistently enhances the entire viewing experience.  Don't you agree?

1. "Veronica Mars" (2004)

Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas

Beaver: "That was positively suck-tastic."


2. "Bones" (2005)

Jeremy Farrell

Special Agent Seeley Booth: "Did you speak with Brianna Swanson?"
Jeremy: "Yeah.  She was pickin' on my little sister."



Matt Campbell

Matt: "Mom, if I die..."
Sara: "No!  You won't." [she hurries out of the room]
Matt: [under his breath] "It's not your fault."


4. Jennifer's Body (2009)

Colin Gray

Colin: "I heard you were there last night in the fiery trenches."
Needy: "Yeah."
Colin: "Well, I'm glad you didn't die."



Quentin Smith

Quentin: "Wake up, Nancy, wake up!  Nancy, please.  Please don't do this please!  Nancy, come back.  Please wake up.  You promised."


6. "Smallville" (2004)

Bart Allen/Impulse

Clark Kent: "So, what are you going to do now?"
Bart Allen: "I don't know.  I mean, it's a big world.  See if there's anyone else out there like us.  Maybe start up a club or a league or something."


7. Red State (2011)

Jarod

Cheyenne: "They're going to kill my family."
Jarod: "Good!"


8. "Criminal Minds" (2005)

James Heathridge

Lara Heathridge: "Is she...?"
James Heathridge: "She's one of them.  An innocent will die before the wise, but a devil's wife will surely rise."



Larkin Ravenwood

Larkin: "Macon said this was the only way to protect you both."


10. "The Walking Dead" (2013)

Zach

Zach: [to Daryl] Well, the way you are at the prison...you know, your being on the council; you're able to track.  You're helpin' people but you're still being kind of, uh...surly."


11. "Outsiders" (2016)

Hasil

Hasil: "Sally-Ann?  Like two names rolled up into one.  That's a beautiful thing."

I'd also like to watch these Gallner-centric titles:
Red (2008) because it's a thriller with a n excellent rating and character-actor cast.
Band of Robbers (2015) because it looks like a modern-day Tom & Huck re-imagining and that's cool.
Alien Code (2017) because it was aliens!
