Gallner was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He attended West Chester East High School. He started his career by following his sister along to one of her auditions. He proceeded to guest star on popular shows such as Judging Amy and Close to Home. Gallner joined the cast of Veronica Mars as Cassidy Casablancas toward the end of the show's first season, in May 2005 before becoming a season regular during the show's second season.

In Veronica Mars, Gallner played the role of a young teenage boy, Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas, who blew up a school bus containing 9 of his classmates, in season two because he got molested as a young child by the mayor of Neptune, Woody Goodman.

After playing Bart Allen in the Smallville episode "Run", Gallner reprised his role on the January 18, 2007 episode "Justice"[2] and the season 8 finale. He also guest starred on Cold Case as a teenage gunman, and recently appeared in the independent film Sublime.

He also guest starred in an episode of Bones as Jeremy Farrell, the brother of a beauty pageant contestant and possible suspect of murdering one of the beauty pageant's most renowned contestants.

Gallner also played the lead role in an allegedly true-story-based horror film. The Haunting in Connecticut casts him as a son with cancer who becomes tormented by evil spirits. His family moves from New York to Connecticut to get him special treatment for the cancer, but the only house they can afford comes with a dodgy past. His character, Matt Campbell, is taken over by a dead spirit in the house and consequently sees a manner of disturbing sights. He cannot tell anyone because if he is reported hallucinating his treatment will be terminated. In the end, Matt releases the evil spirits from the possessed house and completely recovers from his terminal cancer. Although the film over-all received little praise, Gallner was praised by many critics for his role, with one reviewer saying Gallner's acting was "very convincing and another reviewer stated that his acting was "surprisingly natural and believable", praising him for his ability to let the audience feel his pain without resorting to over-acting.
