Gillies received roles in The Black Donnellys and Locker 514 which started her acting career. She was cast in Harold as a supporting character. In summer 2008, she was cast as Lucy in a Goodspeed production of Jason Robert Brown's new musical about growing up, 13. Later that year, 13 moved to Broadway, which made it the first Broadway production to have an all teen cast. She received the two big numbers "Opportunity" and "It Can't Be True" along with smaller parts in other songs, such as the title song, "Hey Kendra" and "Getting Ready". 13 was a huge success until its closing in January. She starred in The Clique as Shelby Wexler.
On January 4, 2009 13 closed. Gillies currently stars in the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious in which she plays Jade West, a main character as well as the antagonist/friend to Victoria Justice's character.
Gillies has a YouTube account called LizGilliesOfficial, where she uploads covers of popular songs including: "Wild Horses" by The Rolling Stones and "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon.[5]
