Acting up

NZ actor Daniel Gillies (Street Legal) is on the brink of international stardom, with forthcoming roles in Hollywood blockbusters SpiderMan 2 and Head in the Clouds, opposite Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz. Gillies landed the role of astronaut John Jamison – Kirsten Dunst’s love interest in the Spider Man sequel – just days before the movie began shooting in the US.
