Thank God they didn't cast the other guy! Jonathan Crombie was and will always be my favorite Gilbert. No matter how many times Anne of Green Gables will be done!
When you make it for yourself. You cannot expect anyone to “find you” or come to you. You must go to them, you must put yourself out there non stop every day and work with as many artists as possible to build a portfolio and network your material word of mouth. The only way to stay ahead of the competition these days is TO KNOW WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW: how to build a huge audience and how to sell to them. Having a strong social media presence is a key component of succeeding in the modern music industry because it gives you an audience to market yourself to and get yourself fans. Growing your social media following is also one of the most cost effective ways of getting yourself out there and becoming noticed in the industry. Gotta just enjoy the process like i do for my channel. Your big moment is not going TO COME you gotta CREATE IT
JC as Gilbert. Perfect. Why did he have to leave us so soon. The whole cast and series is my all time classic fav. Very sad but i just keep watching them over. He is dashingly handsome.
1:40 "We had almost cast somebody else in the role of Gilbert, and [casting agent Diane Polley] insisted on bringing Jonathan in... " We will never know the actor who almost won the role of Gilbert. Could it have been Jason Priestley, as it was known he was among those who auditioned? Regardless of anyone's opinion of Priestley, Kevin Sullivan made the right choice to selecting Jonathan... in my eyes Jonathan Crombie IS Gilbert.
Thank you, Diane Pauley! Those responsible for finding and casting an actor in a role are prescient. They see what soon becomes obvious to the legions of fans who fall head over heels in love with a character.

"He had a Gilbert quality about him that no one else had."
He was perfect for the part.
Megan and Jonathan had the best chemistry .it was perfect casting for Anne and Gilbert.
For that whole cast!! ♥
Thank God they didn't cast the other guy! Jonathan Crombie was and will always be my favorite Gilbert. No matter how many times Anne of Green Gables will be done!
They'll be not other Gilbert like Jonathan. RIP!.
Jonathan Crombie will always be Gilbert to me. I am glad he got the part and he works so well with Megan Fellows. Not planned. RIP.
You will always be our Gilbert, Jonathan. R.I.P.
RIP. I loved him as Gilbert!
I think we all did and I was shocked to find he had passed away at 48 of a brain haemorrage
Thank you, Dianne Polley for finding Jonathon to play Gilbert. U & Kevin made the perfect & best choice for Gilbert. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED JC. RIP
Good night, sweet Jonathan.

❤🤗🎉 Thank you....I miss Him dearly. May He R.I.P.💜💐
Seems like a really nice guy, R.I.P Jonathan Crombie
I have this trilogy. Jonathan was a good actor. I’m sure he’s missed to this day.
Where did you purchase it at
One of the best decisions ever made.
I'm currently rewatching this with my 16 year old daughter, who now loves it ❤️
Watching this makes me sad to know he is gone. RIP, Jonathon. Our Gilbert.
He is the only Gilbert Blythe for me... always 💗
Él será el mejor Gilbert de la historia. Ninguno como él!!! Perfecto para el personaje.

Happy birthday Jonathan Crombie🎉
It’s sad that he came out in his 40s before he died💔
So sad he died
I kept waiting for Dr Steve Brule to show up
Would love to see the full interview with Sullivan shown at the end of video Any links appreciated.
Forever Gilbert Blythe crush ❤️ RIP 💔
What exact show was this from ? Certainly wasn't from the Road to Avonlea i.e the 1987 show.
Anne of Green Gables
JC was sweeter in life than Gilbert could ever have been.

It's like what Anne Shirley said, "I discovered that it's not about what the world holds for you. It's what you bring to it."
He was the one who brought the secret world of Benjamin bear to life?
So 80's...
Who was the other guy for the role of Gilbert? 🤔
That lady newscaster sounds like a young person pretending to be an older news journalist
Jonathan, John 5:28,29 resurrection 🙏
T a
Happy birthday Jonathan Crombie🎉
