Gianniotti attended Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts in Toronto, where he fostered his passion for performance, and later graduated from Humber College’s Theatre Program.

He also completed an actor’s residency at Norman Jewison’s Canadian Film Centre in Toronto. His ethnicity is Italian-Canadian, and his religious beliefs are not publicly disclosed.

Career

Giacomo Gianniotti began his acting career at the age of 10 with a small role in Giulio Base’s 1999 film La Bomba, which was filmed at Cinecittà in Rome alongside Shelley Winters and Vittorio Gassman.

After moving to Canada, he honed his craft through theatre training before landing his television debut in the Italian series Medicina Generale (2010). His early career included guest roles on Beauty & the Beast and Copper (2013), followed by recurring parts as Lord Julien in Reign (2013) and Leslie Garland in Murdoch Mysteries (2013–2014, 2023).

These roles showcased his ability to navigate both Canadian and international productions. His breakthrough came in 2015 when he joined Grey’s Anatomy as Dr. Andrew DeLuca, initially a guest star before becoming a series regular in 2016.

His portrayal of the charismatic surgeon, alongside co-star Stefania Spampinato as his sister, resonated with audiences, earning him a 2021 Tell-Tale TV Award for Favorite Actor in a Network Drama Series. Gianniotti also directed an episode of Grey’s Anatomy and crossed over to its spin-off Station 19.

In 2021, he voiced Giacomo in Pixar’s Luca, a role tied to his Italian heritage, and appeared in the Jesse Owens biopic Race (2016). His production company, co-founded with a friend, produced the independent film Acquainted (2018), in which he starred and served as executive producer.

Gianniotti’s career took a bold turn in 2022 when he replaced Luca Marinelli as the iconic thief in Diabolik: Ginko Attacks! and its sequel Diabolik: Who Are You? (2023), embracing a colder, more disciplined character that contrasted with his warm persona.

In 2023, he starred as Elia in Netflix’s Italian series Inganno (Deceitful Love), an adaptation of the UK’s Gold Digger, exploring a controversial romance. His commitment to roles that challenge stereotypes and his bilingual versatility continue to define his work, with upcoming Italian projects signalling his growing influence in European cinema.
