NIKKI MONTANO

SPARKLE SENSUALITY & DEPTH

About Nikki

I'm an Ethnically hybrid (Puerto Rican - Italian) Native New York Artist. I've spent my life observing people and making Art about the human condition.

In five years working professionally, I've booked 22 Lead/Hero Commercial roles, a Principle TV co-star and multiple Lead and Supporting roles in Independent Films.

This year, I wrote, starred in, co-edited and produced a short film called Amendment.

I come from a 20+ year international fine arts background (as Nikki Schiro), bringing creativity, discipline, and range to my acting work.

I work freelance with reps for commercials but would love a team to expand film/tv work with.
