Orion Gallagher grew up primarily in El Campo, Texas. He moved to
Grandview, Missouri in 1972, and then to Kansas City, Kansas the
following year. It was there, at JC Harmon High School, that Orion
first developed an interest in theater, working under the direction of
James Sheppard.
After graduating high school, Orion joined the US Navy. During his nine
years of service, Orion traveled throughout the Mediterranean and then
later through Asia and the Indian Ocean basin. Upon discharge, he
traveled the US, primarily the Midwest, before returning to Texas. It
was here he began to grow an interest in acting again.
Primarily an extra, Orion hopes to slowly branch into fuller roles.
