Peter Gallagher first became famous for his role in Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989). He currently stars as the pater familias Sandy Cohen, a public defender and corporate lawyer, on the Fox television show The O.C.. He has recently become quite well-known, as his trademark is his large bushy eyebrows. He now hosts an annual award ceremony named "The Sandy Cohen Awards", or The Sandys, which in honor of his character now give a scholarship to a law school student at UC Berkeley who wants to become a public defender. He is a graduate of Tufts University and a member of the Tufts Beelzebubs.

Gallagher also specializes in character parts of varying degrees both good or bad guys. He played a potential career threat to Tim Robbins studio executive in The Player as a possible replacement; the coma-induced "fiancé" of Sandra Bullock in While You Were Sleeping; an egotistical real estate salesman having an affair with Annette Bening in American Beauty; and a villainous media executive in Mr. Deeds, in one of the film's more inspired moments when a game of tennis turns into a full tennis ball assault on his head.

Gallagher also released an album entitled "7 Days in Memphis" in 2005, on the Sony BMG label. This includes a studio recording of his performance of "Don't Give Up On Me" (originally by Solomon Burke), which featured in an episode of The O.C.
