Peter Gallagher has been a favorite of stage, film and television audiences for over 40 years. On Broadway, he’s excelled in everything from splashy, feel good musicals to the devastating masterworks of Eugene O’ Neill and Clifford Odets. He’s shared the screen with everyone from Adam Sandler to James Cagney, and on this week’s episode of Cocktails at Table 7, we got to spend a hugely enjoyable hour with this seriously entertaining and talented man. Peter shared memories of the icons of old Hollywood he was lucky enough to cross paths with early in his career, the amazing resilience of New York and the theatrical community, his love of Joe Allen and the LaScala salad, and the time Bob Fosse complimented his unique and “interesting” sense of rhythm. You don’t want to miss this!
