Marini was born in Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France to a Greek mother and Italian father. After working as a baker in his father’s bakery since he was eight years old and graduating from high school, Gilles joined the French army. It was in Paris where Marini met Fred Goudon, a famous photographer who introduced him to the world of modeling. After fulfilling his military duties, he went to the United States to learn English while working as a model.

Marini began his career as a model in his early twenties. One of his first jobs was a television commercial for Bud Light beer. He made his acting debut at the age of 29, in the 2005 horror flick “Screech of the Decapitated”.

He is most well-known for playing the role of Dante in Sex and the City. He has been seen on the television shows Ugly Betty, Dirty Sexy Money, Criminal Minds, Windfall, Nip/Tuck as well as several daytime dramas, including The Bold and the Beautiful and Passions. His recent film credits include “One and the Other (L’Une et L’Autre),” and “The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down.” This fall he was introduced as a recurring character on ABC’s hit family drama Brothers & Sisters.

He has a wife, Carole, a son, Georges, and a daughter, Juliana.
