Brody is currently the star of one of Netflix’s biggest shows, Nobody Wants This, leading to a whole new group of TV viewers becoming fans of the former teen star.

“I wouldn’t go as far as being a proud dad,” Gallagher recently told PEOPLE, “and I haven’t seen the show, but I’m proud of him all the time as his friend and former TV dad.”

He added, “He’s so talented, and I’m glad he’s still doing his thing.”
