Biography

Michael O'Donahue, an American expatriate actor born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, embarked on a remarkable journey in the mid-sixties when he settled in Italy. Over the years, he gained recognition as a supporting player in numerous B-movies, including spaghetti westerns and horror films, often making uncredited appearances.

During the 1970s, Monty ventured into the realm of soft-porn exploitation movies, further expanding his repertoire. However, it was his relocation to the Philippines in the early eighties that marked a significant turning point in his career. He fell deeply in love with the country and its rich cultural heritage, which ultimately led him to establish a new home there.

As he settled into his new life, Monty's career began to flourish, with him appearing in a multitude of films shot on location in the Philippines. Most of these productions were B or Z-grade actioners, some of which were specifically created for export. Despite the genre, Monty's presence added a unique touch to these movies, cementing his status as a talented and versatile actor.
