Do you feel you've lost that sense of childhood wonder?
Neil D'Monte has not lost his. In fact, he makes sure to incorporate it into all of his work. He would like to reactivate YOUR sense of wonder.
In this uplifting Brain Burrow Digging Deep episode, writer, director, and actor Neil D'Monte talks about his goal to bring the magic of Hollywood back to the public.
Neil also shares about his connection to childhood friends and the importance of keeping that connection.
He also talks about his strategy to use self-deprecating humor (and how he witnessed this with George Clooney). Neil talks about the joys and challenges of directing. He says it is important to have a vision and a template to explain the vision.
Neil D'Monte is an American artist, SAG-Aftra film actor and musician born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. A graduate of the USC School of Fine Arts, he began his career as a comic book and storyboard artist, which segued into a successful acting career.
Neil made his feature film debut in 2003 with Vampires Anonymous, followed by the box office blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean: Dean Man's Chest in 2006. He can be seen as "The Pianist" in the spaghetti western/samurai epic Bunraku alongside Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson. His theatrical training at Chicago's prestigious Goodman Theatre allowed him to develop his skill at portraying offbeat and eccentric characters, for which he is quickly gaining notoriety among his peers in the film industry.
In addition to his work as an actor and a sought after artist, he is also touring/recording as a drummer with guitarist Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros/Lance Herbstrong/Satellite Party) and James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins/A Perfect Circle). Always up for a new challenge, D'Monte is also taking on co-writing and directing with his first proof of concept film, Bedbug and the preternatural feature film, Still Small Voice.
