Kyle Gallner was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He started his career by following his sister along to one of her auditions.

Perhaps best known for his role as Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas on the CW's lone hit series, Veronica Mars (2004), actor Kyle Gallner had been appearing in films and on television since his early adolescence. Born on Oct. 22, 1986 and originally from Philadelphia, PA, Gallner made his first screen appearance on an episode of Third Watch (1999). After making his feature debut with a small role in Michael Showalter's bizarre comedy Wet Hot American Summer (2001) (2001), he returned to television with episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) and Touched by an Angel (1994). He next appeared in the series finale of The District (2000) before playing his first recognizable role - that of Bart Allen (a.k.a. "The Flash") on Smallville (2001) during the 2004-05 season.

In 2005, Gallner joined the cast of Veronica Mars (2004) for the last three episodes of the first season, giving him the opportunity to carry over his role of Beaver into the next season. During his run on "Veronica Mars," Gallner continued making guest spots, appearing in episodes of Jack & Bobby (2004), Cold Case (2003), CSI: NY (2004) and Bones (2005). Gallner began a recurring role as a devout Mormon in the controversial HBO series Big Love (2006). Meanwhile, Gallner revived his "Smallville" role in early 2007, returning as Impulse rather than The Flash - due to a feature film with the same character being developed by Warner Bros.

Made acting debut in an episode of NBC's Third Watch (1999).

Made his film debut in the comedy cult film Wet Hot American Summer (2001).

Had a recurring role as superhero Bart Allen in Smallville (2001) (The WB, 2001-2006; The CW, 2006-2009).

In 2013, Gallner appeared in the film Beautiful Creatures (2013)_, directed by Richard LaGravenese.

I am terrified of flying. I am a wreck right before I get on an airplane. That, and the ocean. I can only get in there for 10 minutes, I have this strong urge to run out and I won&#39;t go back in for the rest of the day. I&#39;ve always been like that.

In TV, kid roles are like this: You&#39;re either in a couple minutes of an episode playing somebody&#39;s kid, or you get in these procedurals where you&#39;re crying or you&#39;re playing a witness or you&#39;re playing a crazy person. Every once in a while you get a big guest star role, but there&#39;s a formula to those TV shows.

I play mostly bad guys on TV and mostly good guys in movies.

Horror is a totally different animal. It&#39;s intense. You can do drama or comedies, but in horror, you really have to trick yourself into believing a lot of unbelievable phenomena.

I do not have a fear of heights at all. I was the kid who would see how high I could get in the trees. I was always climbing something. But I wasn&#39;t allowed to look down; I had to step off completely blind and backwards.
