ANTHONY MONTGOMERY
with host JOHN SEMPER, JR.

(This previously announced show was postponed from an earlier air date.)

When ANTHONY MONTGOMERY  landed a series regular role as “Ensign Travis Mayweather” on Star Trek: Enterprise—the fifth live-action series in the Star Trek franchise—it changed his life.  From 2001 through 2005, he piloted Enterprise’s NXO1 into many adventures and into the hearts of innumerable loyal Star Trek fans around the world.

Subsequent to his Star Trek fame, Anthony made numerous guest star appearances in shows such as NCIS; House; and the TNT original series, Trust Me; and had a recurring role on the Lifetime network hit show, The Client List, starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. He also starred as “Jay Brooks” in the critically acclaimed independent feature film, I’m Through with White Girls (The Inevitable Undoing of Jay Brooks). The romantic comedy received 10 awards on the festival circuit, including seven Audience Awards for Best Narrative Feature Film, before being acquired by Image Entertainment for national distribution.

Since 2015, Anthony has enjoyed playing the role of “Dr. Andre Maddox” on the popular, long-running ABC daytime soap opera, General Hospital.

In addition to acting, he released his debut music album, A.T. The album makes him the first actor in the Star Trek franchise to release music in the Hip Hop genre. The album was distributed internationally through Universal Music Group, via his German based record label, AGR Television Records. He continues to record and do live performances when his schedule permits.

Anthony is also currently launching his own sci-fi franchise called Miles Away, beginning with a graphic novel. Miles Away is about a teenage boy who develops a superhuman ability, allies with alien refugees, and falls into an interstellar war connected to his family’s dark past.

You can find out more about Anthony on his website, and you can follow him on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

A successful entrepreneur and event producer, Sridhar’s spiritual path includes a longstanding association with Ram Dass (known for his best-selling book, Be Here Now), and his annual interview with Ram Dass screens nightly at the festival.
