Elizabeth Gillies

Gillies' acting career began at age 12 when she started going to casting opportunities in the local community. Her acting career began at the age of 12 years older. Gillies began appearing in Virgin Mobile commercials. Gillies had her first TV role as a recurring actor in the three seasons of The Black Donnellys. She has stated that she was not allowed to watch the final show in its entirety because her parents felt that it wasn't appropriate for her at the time. There were minor roles in the shows The Clique Harold and Locker 504 in 2008. That summer she also starred in the role of Lucy in a Goodspeed staging of Robert's new musical 13, alongside her future Victorious co-star Ariana Grande. Later that year was when the Broadway version of 13 was out, and became the first Broadway show with an ensemble comprised entirely of teens. The show featured two huge songs "Opportunity" along with "It Doesn't Make Sense" along with smaller parts of other numbers, including the "title" song, "Hey Kendra" and "Getting Ready". Gillies was part of the show until the end of January 4th in 2009.
