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".
