Biography

Robert Ben Garant, a remarkably talented and versatile American entertainment professional, entered this world on September 14, 1970. Throughout his illustrious career, he has deftly demonstrated his remarkable range by effortlessly transitioning between various roles, showcasing his impressive skillset as both an accomplished actor, comedian, writer, director, and producer.

Garant's most notable achievement is his unforgettable portrayal of Deputy Travis Junior in the side-splitting Reno 911!, a comedy series that has left audiences in stitches. This talented individual has also made a significant impact as a cast member on the MTV sketch comedy series The State, where he showcased his remarkable comedic abilities, further solidifying his reputation as a master of his craft.

Thomas Lennon, a talented actor, and Garant, a skilled writer, have formed a long-standing partnership, joining forces to craft several noteworthy screenplays together. One of their most prominent collaborations is the critically acclaimed Night at the Museum film series, which has received widespread recognition and acclaim.

Garant and Lennon, the dynamic duo, expanded their creative horizons by delving into the realm of television. In 2010, they embarked on a new venture, co-creating and starring in a sitcom pilot titled The Strip, which was produced for NBC. Although the pilot did not ultimately receive a series pickup, the pair remained undeterred by this setback.

Undaunted, they went on to develop another pilot, this time for FX, titled USS Alabama. Set a thousand years in the future, the sci-fi/comedy series takes place aboard a United Nations Peacekeeping spaceship, offering a unique and captivating premise.

Noteworthy for his boundless energy and innovative flair, Garant has consistently showcased his remarkable adaptability and artistic expression throughout his illustrious career, thereby making a profound and lasting impression on the multifaceted and ever-evolving entertainment industry.
