He has also been cast in Netflix’s upcoming drama series, “First Kill,” produced by Emma Roberts. Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Gallegos moved to Northern Louisiana as a young teenager. He grew up working on farms and began acting in school at a very young age, but it was basketball talent that propelled him to the next level. He was recruited to play for Louisiana College but turned back to his true passion of acting once the opportunity presented itself. He threw himself headfirst into the world of film and television, not only honing his craft on stage, but also refining his talent as a writer, director and eventually as a producer.
