GILLES MARINI

FRENCH BLISS

Gilles Marini exploded onto the scene as Dante, the Casanova living in the beach house next door to Kim Cattrall's Samantha in the "Sex and the City" movie, a role which has earned him international recognition. We went to see Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte; we left with one visual imprint: Gilles' shower scene.
Gilles can currently be seen as Rachel Griffiths’s love interest on ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters,” and was recently seen on “Dancing with the Stars.” He will next be seen as Vanessa Redgrave’s husband on FX’s “Nip/Tuck” in mid-November. He has appeared on television in “Ugly Betty,” “Dirty, Sexy Money,” “Criminal Minds,” “Windfall,” and in several soap operas including “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “Passions.” His recent film credits include “One and the Other (L’Une et L’Autre),” “Pirates of the Caribbean 3,” and “The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down.”

Gilles has appeared in many television commercials and print ads for companies like Budweiser, Clairol, Coca Cola, Ross, Chrysler, Fila, GNC, Infiniti, Mervins, Avon, Lord and Taylor, Robinsons May, etc.

Proceeds from his new 2010 calendar will go to the Maximum Hope Foundation.
