Gallacher was born in Glasgow in 1943. In 1962, aged 19, he was working in London when his parents and younger sister decided to emigrate to Australia. Gallacher declined to join them, preferring to remain in London, but emigrated to Brisbane a year later where he worked as a schoolteacher. He spent three years in Papua New Guinea teaching English. On his return to Brisbane, he joined an amateur theatre company, which eventually gained him admission to the Queensland Theatre Company.[1]

In 1977, Gallacher was in Melbourne, performing in David Williamson's play The Club, and he remained with the Melbourne Theatre Company from then on. In 2005, he played Lear in the MTC production of King Lear.[1]

He was well known in the 1970s for his television roles in Shannon's Mob and The Lost Islands. His film roles included Proof (1991), Dark City (1998), Till Human Voices Wake Us (2002), Peter Pan (2003), One Perfect Day (2004) and December Boys (2007).[2]
