Not many actors can say they landed a role on their first movie audition, but that's just what Julie Gonzalo did, and she hasn't ever looked back.
Gonzalo can be seen starring on the ABC drama series "Eli Stone." Before that she starred as Parker on the final season of the critically acclaimed series "Veronica Mars." On the big screen Gonzalo most recently starred in her first Spanish language film, "Ladran que Roba a Ladran." Additional film credits include roles in "Must Love Dogs," with Diane Lane and Dermot Mulroney; "Christmas with the Kranks," with Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis; "A Cinderella Story," opposite Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray; "Dodgeball," opposite Vince Vaughn and Justin Long; and the 2003 remake of "Freaky Friday" with Lindsay Lohan. Her first film, the one she landed on her first film audition ever, was "I'm with Lucy," starring Monica Potter and Gael Garcia Bernal.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Gonzalo moved with her family to Miami Beach at the age of eight. She began her career in front of the camera as a model, but knew from an early age that what she wanted to do was become an actress. She studied acting, dance and movement throughout high school, and soon thereafter decided to make the trip to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and television.

In 1996, while still a graduate student in Philadelphia, Jason George went to an open call at a local mall for Aaron Spelling's new daytime drama, "Sunset Beach." During the nationwide talent search casting directors saw more than 14,000 hopefuls, but George landed the regular role, playing gang leader turned lifeguard Michael Bourne.

At 16 he moved to Toronto, where he joined the singing group The Sugar Shoppe, who were featured on the Ed Sullivan and Johnny Carson shows. One of his first film roles was for director George Bloomfield in CBC's "Paradise Lost." Soon after, he landed the role of the hippie-Messiah in the Toronto production of "Godspell," a role he would later reprise in the musical film version.
When a news anchor from one of the biggest media corporations loses his job, Eli, Taylor, Matt and Maggie share an awkward car ride to Sonoma to question a witness. Taylor and Matt plan a getaway before the baby arrives, only to have their plans derailed by their latest case in which they'll face off against each other. Determined to spend time together, they deceive Eli and Maggie into joining them on a road trip to Sonoma. Upon arrival, the race to retain a witness being held in a county jail ensues. First, the four lawyers must join forces to free her from jail, but the judge, an acquaintance from Matt's past, delivers a vengeful blow. As Eli and Maggie work together again, feelings between them resurface. Meanwhile, Eli is now suffering the consequences of the "Dark Truth" treatment, plagued with not one but two brain aneurysms.
Nathan bumps Eli up from best man to minister. When Eli's latest vision has him questioning Nathan's fiancee's devotion, he is restless to learn Nate's fate and turns to a new acupuncturist willing to perform the dangerous "Dark Truth" method that will help him see the future. Meanwhile, Keith and Eli defend a minister against discrimination, and Taylor and Matt learn there may be some complications with their unborn child.
Eli is determined to find out if he'll be alone the rest of his life, even if it means suffering the consequences. After a few dates with Ashley Cardiff, a patient of Dr. Chen's and client of Maggie's, Eli is prepared to tell her about his gift, but is surprised by her reaction. Yearning to find out his future leads Eli to Chen's rival, where he undergoes a dangerous procedure only to discover the unfortunate circumstances of Nate and Beth's engagement. Meanwhile, a vision of the future leads Eli to represent a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who will one day discover cold fusion, and Taylor learns some unsettling truths about Jordan while representing him in his divorce from her stepmother.
Eli misinterprets his latest prophecy. As Eli and Keith defend Patti's daughter against drug charges, Eli believes she is innocent while Keith has his reservations. In time Eli will realize a greater meaning to his vision -- one which will change his relationship with Patti forever. Meanwhile, an ultrasound and advice from Maggie gives Matt clarity on his relationship with Taylor; with help from Maggie's new client, Matt scores two tickets to Seal's concert for him and Taylor; and sensing Eli is feeling lonely, Dr. Chen arranges a blind date for Eli with one of his patients.
Eli is having visions in which he's trapped in his father's body on Nate's 12th birthday. The visions guide Eli to clues in a teenage boy's emancipation trial against his powerful and intimidating father, Jim Cooper, a trial where Nate's medical expertise will prove to be vital -- but threaten Nate's own career. Standing in his way are Matt and Maggie, who've been retained by Cooper, forcing the former friends and colleagues to face off against each other in court. Meanwhile, Taylor fears the worst when confronted with the reality she must tell Matt she's pregnant with his child, and Keith avoids Patti's daughter, who he suspects is doing drugs.
The struggle to maintain clients and keep their new firm afloat continues for Eli and Jordan. Eli convinces Jim Cooper, a billionaire philanthropist, to let them lead the charge to start a clinical trial testing the efficacy of medicinal marijuana as a cure for MS in children, namely Cooper's son. But Eli learns Cooper's son doesn't want to be a part of the trial, placing Eli in a moral dilemma. Meanwhile, Keith represents Patti's daughter after she's arrested for DUI, and Matt and Maggie work to expose a mole within Jordan and Eli's new firm who is helping Posner/Klein lure clients away.
In the aftermath of their law firm's split, Eli and Jordan struggle to retain associates. They must face the financial repercussions of Jordan's coup; the firm's largest clients opt to go with rival firm Posner/Klein. At Taylor's urging, Eli persuades Matt to help him on a case involving a Homeland Security arrest to show him how rewarding pro bono law can be and convince him to stay with the new firm that Jordan and Eli are building. Meanwhile, Eli's latest vision reveals the truth about Maggie's fiancé, which ultimately leads to a defining decision about their relationship.
Jordan must defend himself against charges of insanity while Eli pursues a case against lead paint manufacturers which could lead him to the Supreme Court. The twin stresses of Jordan's and Eli's cases plunge the two friends into an angry fight with the fate of their entire law firm hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, his father's diary leads Eli to discover that his visions of the future can be altered -- but with shockingly unexpected results, culminating in a twist that no one, especially Eli, will see coming.
Katie Holmes guest stars as an attorney whose mysterious fate leads her to Eli. Eli's latest vision comes to him in the form of a gorgeous, confident, brunette singing to him. He discovers to his surprise that the girl -- Grace -- is real after he meets her at a baseball game, and he and Grace embark on a whirlwind romance. That same week he and Maggie represent a father who's trying to prevent his son, who died in Iraq, from receiving a military burial.
On the season premiere of "Eli Stone," after undergoing a life-threatening operation to have his brain aneurysm removed, Eli has been free of visions for six months. However, when a crane crashes into a building trapping Jordan inside, it's surprisingly Eli's brother, Nate, who has a vision of exactly where Jordan is -- and a brain aneurysm to go with it -- leaving him and Eli dumbfounded. Eli tries to convince Taylor the search and rescue team are looking for her father in the wrong place, but she refuses to believe him, setting off a legal showdown between the two former lovers. Oscar winner Sigourney Weaver guest stars as a therapist.
