Montana made his first television appearance playing his most notable role to date, as Georgie Cooper in “Young Sheldon”. From 2017 through 2023, Montana was seen in 121 episodes, starring opposite Iain Armitage, Lance Barber, and Zoe Perry. The show follows the story of a child genius, Sheldon Cooper, based on the same adult character from the series “The Big Bang Theory”. Montana plays Sheldon’s big brother, totally different than Sheldon, who is socially impaired. The series had 24 award nominations and won three.
In his interview for Glitter Magazine, Montana said that while he was reading the role of Georgie, he thought that he was reading an autobiography; according to him, everything lined up with his life in Ore City.
