Based in Brooklyn, New York, Devan Gallagher is an award-winning filmmaker, Meisner trained actor, and graduate of the William Esper Studio's two-year program. With a unique quirkiness described as Zooey Deschanel meets Aubrey Plaza, she has appeared on television, in film, and on stage in NYC, and is best known as Eliza in Z-Stuy (which she also wrote and directed) and Sandra in The Five in Merseyside.
“Devan’s naturalistic acting has always been a joy to watch and work with. Her work extends beyond the text and directions with an incredible understanding of the material.”
“Within 15 minutes, talented filmmaker Devan displays her unique filmmaking skills along with her awesome acting skills as Eliza.”
Thrilled to get to announce that I've been cast in an incredibly exciting new project written and directed by Trifon Dimitropoulos. I'll be playing one of the five in The Five in Merseyside (a sci-fi meets spaghetti western that's a bit Tarantino, part Romero, with a dash of King, and a good dose of Leone).
Super excited to get to work on Love Letters Made Easy (Written by Jeanne Beckwith and Directed by Denise Ivanoff), a full-length dark comedy, with performances at the Roebuck Theater later this month through early July. Click the button below for tickets!
Finding Amelia has to be one of the most fun plays I've ever had the pleasure of doing. I can't say enough how wonderful it was to portray hilarious, goofy, but truly heartfelt group of friends with these awesome women!
Our cast had the honor of meeting the writer of this lovely short play about four young women. Thank you so much for writing such a moving piece of work, I'm so glad you felt we did it justice!
Had an amazing time (and learned a hell of a lot) filming My Favorite Things (directed by Justin Jorrell) with an amazing cast and creative team as part of the AGRtist Monthly Short Film Challenge.
On the set of the dreamy new science fiction thriller (short film) Emotional Intelligence, written, directed, and produced by a team of kickass women!
