Daniel Gillies

Saving Hope was another popular medical drama. Actor Daniel Gillies played Dr. Joel Goran, who is accidentally killed at the end of the third season while attempting to take a bomb off a patient.

The actor reportedly lined up The Vampire Diaries as the next series he would be working on, just as his stint on the Canadian medical drama came to a close. To this day, the actor defends the show, stating there’s no bad blood there. Making $20,000 an episode may not seem like much compared to the earnings of other actors, but it did seem like Gillies truly enjoyed his time working on the show.
