Joe Knezevich 

Johnathan Gilbert

One of the original founders of Mystic Falls, Jonathan Gilbert has left his story in a series of journals. His descendant Jeremy Gilbert, Elena's brother, used those same journals to write his extra credit history report. Mr. Gilbert was a great inventor who designed and built a series of devices which Bonnie's ancestor Emily secretly enchanted with magic so that they would act as anti-vampire gadgets.

Joe Knezevich, born June 6th, 1977 in Miami, Florida is an American actor.  His resume is limited and his name impossible to pronounce, but the casting crew of TVD certainly did not make a wrong decision when casting him as Elena & Jeremy's ancestor and original settler of Mystic Falls Jonathan Gilbert.

Joe earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting from Florida State University and studied in London with members of the world renowned Theatre de Complicate.  After earning his degree he chose Atlanta as his home and has been acting and teaching there for the last ten years.

He is an associate artist at Georgia Shakespeare where he has appeared in plays and taught in the education department.  In addition to his work on stage Joe has been seen in film and television, appearing in the TNT movie, "The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice", the Lifetime series, "Drop Dead Diva" and most recently as Jonathan Gilbert in our beloved show,
"The Vampire Diaries".
