Gillies, or the ‘gentleman-monster’ as he humorously refers to himself, is a Canadian-born New Zealand actor, best known for his role as Elijah Mikaelson on the hit TV series, The Vampire Diaries and its spin-off, The Originals.
He also played Dr Joel Goran on the Canadian series, Saving Hope; a medical-themed show with a mystical, paranormal twist.
Not only is this ‘gentleman-monster’ a prominent actor, but he’s been making waves as a director in the industry too; Gillies wrote, directed and produced Broken Kingdom as well as the documentary, Kingdom Come.
