Kristof *(Christopher) Gillese was raised in music, in dance and in theatre from a very young age. Mentored by his elder sister and accompanying her to her own dance classes, Kristof became immersed in movement and music from just a few years old. The circuitous route eventually led him to auditioning, successfully, for the master program of the London Academy of Musical and Dramatic Arts in 2000. Although funding ran short, and thus he could not attend, Kristof maintained and still maintains, a fierce passion for classical theatre. It is this passion for, as his adjudicators at LAMDA called it, "organic acting" that fuels his ambition for the next project.Kristof Gillese is a proud husband and father of Clare Gillese and Adam Gillese. Kristof resides just outside Vancouver, British Columbia. Show less «
