Mallory was raised in Pontiac, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. As a teenager he appeared in summer stock plays with the Kenley Players and went onto receive a degree in Speech, with a theatre/broadcasting emphasis, from Drury College (now Drury University) in Springfield, Missouri. After a stint as a radio newscaster in Springfield he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. He made numerous appearances on the local stage and played bit roles in films such as ''Frances'', ''Staying Alive'' and ''Eleanor: First Lady of the World'' (all 1982) and on television in ''Days of Our Lives'', ''Santa Barbara'' and ''General Hospital'', as well as a handful of commercials and industrial films. More recently he has appeared on ''Mad Men'', ''Vegas'', and ''Mob City'', in which he played Abe "Greenie" Greenberg, whose murder propels the plot of the series. In the late 1980s Mallory made writing his primary pursuit and for a while he served as a writer for Disneyland and other theme park venues. He scripted the large-format, 3-D attraction film ''Haunts of the Olde Country'', which premiered at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1993 and played there for several years. He was among the first recipients of a Derringer Award, winning in 1998 for Best Flash (short-short) Mystery Story, and his story "The Beast of Guangming Peak" was listed as a "Distinguished Mystery Story of 2004" in the book "The Best American Mystery Stories, 2005," edited by Joyce Carol Oates and Otto Penzler. His 2009 book ''Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror'', a history of Universal horror film series, earned an honorable mention from the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards, and ''Marvel: The Expanding Universe Wall Chart'' took the Silver 2009 Book of the Year Award from ForeWord Reviews. He lives with his wife and son in Glendale, California.
