He then returned to the show for its ninth season. (incomplete). David Gallagher took a year off 7th Heaven to attend college. He lent his voice to the "shrunken head" on the Knight Bus in the 2004 movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Simon is the second oldest son of Reverend Eric Camden and his wife Annie. Henry is also one of the celebrities most associated with the British Comic Relief charity organisation along with Griff Rhys Jones. Also in 1996, he landed the role of Simon Camden in the television series 7th Heaven. They have an adopted daughter.

After several appearances in both film and television he landed a role in another big-screen success - Phenomenon (1996), again alongside Travolta. He is married to comedy actress Dawn French. At the age of 8, Gallagher made his film debut with the lead role in Look Who's Talking Now (1993) alongside John Travolta. In 2003, he was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest people in British comedy. This exposure led to roles in commercials for companies including Disney World and Burger King. He would later say that both moves were not showing him at his best and that he felt most comfortable with character comedy, returning to the BBC to do Lenny Henry in Pieces, a character-based comedy sketch show. At the age of 2 he landed his first job as a model in a printed advertisment.

David Gallagher (born February 9, 1985 in College Point, New York) is an American actor. Henry is perhaps best known to modern audiences as the choleric chef of the comedic 1990s television series Chef!. The film was not successful, and it has been suggested that part of the problem was that the film's producers didn't really understand Henry and used him in a project that wasn't a good match for his talents. In the early 1990s, Henry was lured to Hollywood to star in the film True Identity, in which his character spent most of the film pretending to be a white person in order to avoid the mob. He was also a part-time member of The Comic Strip.

Henry's TV work started pricipally with his own self-titled show, which has appeared in variant forms ever since. Much of his stand-up material, which was enormously popular on recorded LP, owed much to the writing abilities of Kim Fuller. He introduced characters which both mocked and celebrated black British culture, such as Theophilus P. Wildebeeste (a Barry White-a-like), Brixton pirate radio DJ Delbert Wilkins and Trevor MacDoughnut (a spoof on Trevor McDonald). Around this time he met his future wife, Dawn French, who encouraged him to move over to the fledgling alternative comedy scene, where he established a career as a stand-up comedy performer and character comedian.

Later he appeared on the children's programme Tiswas and subsequently the show Three of a Kind with comedians Tracey Ullman and David Copperfield. Subsequently he was a comedy performer on The Black and White Minstrel Show. His formative years were in working men's clubs where his unique act - a young black man impersonating white characters such as Frank Spencer from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - gave him an edge in what were racially divisive times. His earliest TV appearances were on the New Faces TV talent show in the 1970s where he was a repeat winner.
