According to an article at Fancast, Joe Knezevich has joined the cast playing the character of Jonathan Gilbert.
More flashbacks, YEAH!!!!
‘DIARIES’ DISH: Heather writes, “‘The Vampire Diaries‘ has made frequent references to Jonathan Gilbert, Elena and Jeremy’s direct-line ancestor and an author/investor in Mystic Falls back in 1864. With the news that more flashbacks are coming up, any word on will play Jonathan?”
I checked into this for you, Heather, and the role went to Joe Knezevich, an actor from Atlanta (where ‘TVD’ hangs its fangs). Joe’s credits include ‘Drop Dead Diva’ and ‘The Librarian 3: The Curse of the Judas Chalice.’
