(PERSONAL STYLE) QUINN IS 6'1" AND HIS BODY IS SLIM YET WELL DEFINED. HIS CONSISTANT NEED TO KEEP HIMSELF FIT HELPS HIM TO MAINTAIN HIS STATURE. IT HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY HARD FOR HIM TO MUSTER THE ENERGY TO WORK OUT SINCE LEAVING THE STAGES OF BROADWAY. HIS SHORT HAIT IS BROWN AND HIS EYES ARE A LIGHT BROWN. TYPICALLY, QUENTIN DRESSES IN JEANS AND TEESHIRTS TO HELP HIM MOVE FREELY. HOWEVER WHEN IN CLASS, HE WEARS JEANS AND A BUTTON DOWN SHIRT, SIMPLE YET ENOUGH TO GET HIM BY AND HIS ENSEMBLE ALWAYS HAS TO MATCH.

(HISTORY) QUENTIN MARCUS GALLAGHER WAS BORN AN ONLY CHILD TO DAGEN AND LARA GALLAGHER. GROWING UP, HE WORSHIPPED HIS FATHER AND THERE WAS NO BETTER DOCTOR IN QUINN'S EYES. HE WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE HIS FATHER FOR AS LONG AS HE COULD REMEMBER. IT WAS ONLY NATURAL FOR HIM TO WANT TO GO INTO MEDICINE WHEN HE GRADUATED. HE KNEW IT WOULD PLEASE HIS PARENTS AND TRUTH WAS, IT WAS GOING TO PLEASE QUINN MORE. HE WANTED TO SAVE PEOPLE. AND SO
HE STARTED MED SCHOOL.
DURING HIS GRADE SCHOOL YEARS, HIS LOVE LIFE WAS ODD. BOTH MEN AND WOMEN APPEALED TO HIM AND HE DATED OFF AND ON. UNTIL HE MET OLIVIA GRIFFIN, A FELLOW ACTOR IN HIS THEATRE CLASS. SHE WAS WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, KIND, CARING AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE ONE PERSON QUINN COULD EVER SAY WHAT HE WAS REALLY THINKING TO. THEY STARTED DATING AND THINGS SEEMED TO GO WELL FOR BOTH HIS SCHOOLING AND HIS RELATIONSHIP.
HE STARTED UNIVERSITY, STUDYING HIMSELF INTO OBLIVION TWO MONTHS AFTER GRADUATION. IT WAS A LONG PROCESS, FOUR YEARS OF PRE-MED AND THEN HE AND OLIVIA MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES. HE WORKED TOWARD HIS MEDICAL DEGREE FROM JOHN HOPKINS. SHE SUPPORTED HIM AS WELL AS SHE COULD THOUGH HE KNEW SHE SOMETIMES HATED IT. SO, AFTER HE RECEIVED HIS DEGREE IN CARDIOLOGY AND HIS MINOR IN THEATRE, HE PROPOSED TO HER. SHE HAD TEARFULLY SAID YES AND FOR ONCE, QUINN BELIEVED IN LOVE. THREE MONTHS LATER, THEY LEARNED THAT OLIVIA WAS PREGNANT, A HONEYMOON BABY. OLIVIA WAS NOT PLEASED AND WHILE HE SWORE HE LOVED HER, THE CHANGE IN HER PERSONALITY EFFECTED HIM.
HE HAD STARTED HIS RESIDENCY AND JOINED THE DIAGNOSTIC MEDICINE AT TWENTY-EIGHT. HE NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD EVER NEED HELP FROM HIS OWN DEPARTMENT. QUINN BEGAN HAVING MUSCLE CONTROL ISSUES AND AFTER WEEKS OF TESTS AND TREATMENTS BY THE DOCTORS HE WORKED WITH EVERYDAY, HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. IT WAS A BIG SURPRISE TO HIM AND A DEVISTATING ONE. HE KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP THE ONE THING OTHER THAN HIS FAMILY HE LOVED.
THREE MONTHS AFTER HIS DIAGNOSIS, HIS DAUGHTER, AMARA, WAS BORN. THAT IS WHEN QUINN'S HAPPY LIFE SEEMED TO UNRAVEL. OLIVIA CHANGED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, HER DEMEANOR AND ACTIONS WERE HOSTILE. IT WAS OBVIOUS TO
QUINN THAT NOT ONLY WAS SHE SUFFERING FROM POST PARTUM DEPRESSION, SHE WAS SATAN's BEDMATE. HE NEVER DREAMED AT SIX MONTHS LATER, AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM A CONFERENCE, HE WOULD FIND HER SLEEPING WITH ANOTHER MAN IN HIS BED.
THEY FOUGHT VICIOUSLY AND THE FIGHT SEEMED TO COME DOWN TO HIS LOVE OF HIS JOB AND THE TIME HE SPENT AT THE HOSPITAL. OLIVIA TOOK AMARA AND LEFT THEIR HOME. QUINN WOULD HAVE LET HER GO IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT SHE'D BEEN DRINKING. REALIZING THAT IT WAS A BAD WAY TO END THE NIGHT, QUINN CALLED TO CALMLY TALK HER INTO COMING BACK HOME AS HE DROVE AFTER THEM. BEFORE HE COULD GET TO THEM, OLIVIA AND AMARA WERE KILLED IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT. OLIVIA WAS KILLED INSTANTLY AND HE WAS FORCED TO WATCH HELPLESSLY AS HIS SIX MONTH OLD DAUGHTER DIED IN HIS ARMS BEFORE THE PARAMEDICS COULD ARRIVE. QUINN WAS DEVISTATED AND HE NEVER TRULY RECOVERED.
IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THE FUNERAL THAT QUINN LEFT THE MEDICAL FIELD, THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER AND THE PARKINSON'S MAKING THE DECISION FOR HIM. INSTEAD HE DECIDED TO USE HIS TALENTS AND MADE HIS WAY TO NEW YORK WHERE HE AUDITIONED FOR SEVERAL ROLES. HIS FIRST BIG BREAK WAS IN THE MUSCIAL "THE FULL MONTY" AS THE MAIN CHARACTER GAZ. IT WAS THE FIRST OF MANY MUSICALS HE WOULD BE PART OF INCLUDING A BRIEF ROLE IN "SPAMALOT". HE MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF AND HAD A FEW GUEST ROLES ON TV (INCLUDING E.R. AND CSI: NEW YORK) BEFORE HIS PARKINSON'S FORCED HIM TO LEAVE THE STAGE.
HE RECEIVED HIS TEACHING DEGREE AND APPLIED SEVERAL AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES. HE WAS OFFERED EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED FROM BLOOMFIELD FALLS ACADEMY. HE TOOK THE JOB AND IS STARTING HIS FIRST YEAR WITH THE SCHOOL.

(PERSONALITY) QUENTIN IS A STRANGE MAN WHEN HE'S
NOT PERFORMING. HE HAS NO SELF-CONFIDENCE, PARTIALLY BECAUSE OF HIS PAST. HE DOESN'T SEE HIMSELF AS ANYTHING SPECIAL. HE IS WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO CHANGE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T SEE HIMSELF AS ALL THAT IMPORTANT, IN FACT HE KNOWS FULL WELL THAT HE MIGHT BE PREVENTING HIS OWN HAPPINESS, BUT HE CONTINUES ANYWAY. HE BELIEVES IN THE END JUSTIFYING THE MEANS, BUT HE IS SLOWLY COMING TO REALIZE THAT THIS WAY OF THINKING IS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR THIS THAN MAYBE HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER MAY HAVE STILL BEEN ALIVE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE DIDN'T FIGURE THAT JUICY BIT OUT UNTIL THEIR DEATHS.
HE IS THE MASTER OF DECEPTION, A SUPERB ACTOR, ESPECIALLY WHEN FACED WITH HIS OWN FAMILY. QUINN'S
PARKINSON'S DISEASE DOES TAKE IT'S TOLL ON HIM. HE IS TYPICALLY IN PAIN, ALWAYS FEELING THE EFFECTS OF BOTH THE ILLNESS AND EFFECTS OF THE TREATMENTS HE UNDERGOES. ALL THIS IS AN ON-GOING THING FOR HIM, THOUGH HE HAS NEVER TOLD ANYONE ABOUT HIS ILLNESS. HE HAS NEVER ACTUALLY TOLD HIS PARENTS THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW MUCH PAIN HE REALLY IS IN. IF ANYONE WERE TO CONFRONT HIM ABOUT IT, HE WOULD SIMPLY DENY EVERYTHING.
HE DOESN'T LIKE LYING, BUT IS VERY ADEPT AT FALLING BACK ON IT WHEN EVER SOMEONE CORNERS HIM ABOUT HOW HE'S FEELING. IT HAS BECOME LIKE A REFLEX BY THIS POINT. HE CAN BE ONE TO HOLD GRUDGES, VERY INTENSELY AND HE DOESN'T LIKE TO LET GO OF HIS ANGER. IT TAKES HIM A LONG TIME TO BE ABLE TO ADMIT THAT HE HAS A PROBLEM. HE USES ANGER AND, OCCASIONALLY A SARCASTIC QUIP, AS A WAY TO PROTECT HIMSELF. HE REALLY DOES LIKE TO DROP HIS GUARD AT ALL, IN FACT HE DOESN'T REALLY TRUST FOR THE MOST PART. IT IS MOSTLY BECAUSE OF HOW QUICKLY THINGS IN HIS LIFE WENT WRONG. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF HE DOES DROP HIS GUARD AROUND YOU, HE IS NOT VERY GOOD AT HIDING HIS EMOTIONS WITH HE IS IN PAIN AND THAT FACT CAN SOMETIMES GET THE BEST OF HIM.
ON STAGE, QUINN IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON. GONE IS THE QUIET, SHY MAN. IN HIS PLACE IS A CONFIDANT, ALMOST COCKY ACTOR. HE LOVES THE STAGE. LIVES FOR IT. HE CAN TAKE ON ANY ROLE, BE ANYONE HE NEEDS OR WANTS TO BE. HE WON'T TAKE DISOBEDIENCE FROM HIS STUDENTS AND HE DEFINITELY WON'T TAKE DISRESPECT FROM ANYONE, STAFF OR STUDENT.
