The 2013 short film "You & Me" follows William (Martin Durante) and Alice (Kay D'Arcy), a loving elderly couple who get into a bad car accident on a rainy day. As they cling to life and each other in the hospital, the film flashes back to earlier moments in their lives, from their marriage in the late 1950s to their years raising children in the 1970s.
Aidan Gallagher plays a younger version of their son David, who is played by Jon Eric Preston in the present-day storyline. In his one scene, Gallagher peppers his father with questions about the glamorous, journalism-centered life he gave up to raise a family. Like the rest of the film, this moment tantalizes the viewer with interesting details, such as the regret that tinges William's comments when he watches Dan Rather report on Watergate. Ultimately, "You & Me" ends on a family-centric note, which serves Gallagher well. He has especially solid chemistry with "Pretty Little Liars" star Tyler Blackburn, who plays young William. This is definitely the best of Gallagher's pre-"Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn" work.
