Aidan Gallagher's breakout role was definitely as Nicky Harper in 'Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn,' but he’s been involved in some pretty cool projects since then. The one that really caught my attention was 'The Umbrella Academy,' where he plays Number Five—a sarcastic, time-traveling assassin trapped in a teenager’s body. His performance is mind-blowing; he nails the mix of world-weary cynicism and childlike frustration. I binged the entire series in a weekend because of how compelling he was.
Outside of that, he’s also done some voice work, like in 'Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny,' where he voiced Emperor Zhong. It’s wild hearing his voice in such a different context, but he brings the same energy. Oh, and he’s super into environmental activism, which isn’t a show, but it’s cool to see him using his platform for something important. Dude’s got range, both on-screen and off.
