Montagne's Long Winded Bio Page

An actor, playwright, screenwriter, graduate of the Idyllwild Arts Academy, trained in sketch comedy acting and writing at The Second City (Chicago), Chicago City Limits (NYC), A.C.T (SF), and New Movement Theater (NOLA).

In San Francisco: trained at A.C.T.’s Studio Program as an actor and playwright; performed in a variety of theatrical productions and in shorts and low budget independent films.

​

In Los Angeles: honed skills as a screen and television writer at Writers Boot Camp and as an actor and playwright training with members of Tim Robbins’ Actors’ Gang Theater.

In New Orleans: wrote, produced and acted in an original three-act stage play titled “The Zeitgeist Chronicles” about the 2008 election of the first African-American president (re-written as “RED, WHITE & BLUES” currently being shopped to theaters in Los Angeles).

 

Creative Partnerships: actor/writer Nick Gomez (“THE WALKING DEAD"; “THE RED ROAD”; "SHE HULK" as: "Wrecker"; FARGO season 5 opposite Jon Hamm and Juno Temple as "Agent Joaquin"); (writer/director/stand-up comic) Jason Slawson; (actor/writer) AJ Rivera ("ANOTHER LIFE" on Netflix) -- currently developing original projects for television and film, including:

 

"I'LL SHOW MYSELF OUT" an original half-hour television series created and written by Montagne, Gomez, Rivera & Slawson centered around the not-so-glamorous-true-to-life grind of journeyman working actor Nick Gomez while attempting to earn a living and stay sober as a recovering alcoholic (with Montagne playing the role of Gomez's regional airline flight attendant/writing partner "Stephen").

​

With Slawson: shopping two screenplays "BLACK FRIDAY MASSACRE" (written as starring vehicles for Jon Hamm, Danny McBride and Kathryn Hahn) and "THE DIRTIEST GAME" (written as starring vehicles for Bryan Cranston and Wendell Pierce playing two college football coaches settling an old score).

​

With Gomez: aside from I'LL SHOW MYSELF OUT, their first television project they created together, "EXILE CITY", chronicles how New Orleans became an American city in the 1800s.

​

Other creative partnerships include a TV original called DANTE'S CABARET with Abigail Reynaldi, as well as solo written: stage plays, screenplays, and original television series that can be found on this website (see: TV Originals & Screenplays).

 

Most recently: studied acting with Mercedes Ruehl via HB Studios, ​and playwriting as a member of the Los Angeles based Robey Theater Company Playwrights' LAB under the tutelage of playwright/producer Reginald Edmund and artistic director Ben Guillory.

​

His one-act play "VECTORS" will be staged in collaboration with the Long Beach Shakespeare Company for their annual new plays showcase in September of 2026.

 

Repped commercially and theatrically by Sovereign Talent Group.

THE "MADE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA" BIO

​

When he's not at a Saints bar (during the NFL season) you may see Montagne working his "day job" at a particular airline that starts with a "jet" and ends with a "blue". In terms of Social Media: he has cut back on the amount of time he spends on social media, especially *Facebook (which is an unholy time vampire that slowly eats away at our collective souls), and had, over-time, grew obsessed with a (now canceled) TV series about vampires. 

 

Montagne is available to write your next: bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah or quinceañera speech (English translation only), wedding toast, protest march chant, break up text, or *Facebook rant (*in which case: ignore the above paragraph). He's completely M.I.A when it comes to Tik Tok, has given up entirely on "X" (the app formerly known as "Twitter") and begrudgingly posts on Instagram from time to time.
