Clea Koff's life journey has been shaped by her diverse upbringing in the Middle East, North Africa, Italy, and Washington D.C., where her diplomat father, Joseph Montville, is credited with coining the term "Track Two Diplomacy". Her mother, Eva, is a talented sculptor, instilling in Clea an appreciation for the arts from a young age.
Clea's passion for the performing arts led her to attend New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts and Towson University, where she majored in Theater. Her early career was marked by a stint in New York City, where she performed Off-Broadway and in regional theaters, earning her Equity status in the 1990 play "When She Danced" at Playwrights Horizons, alongside notable actors Elizabeth Ashley, Marcia Jean Kurtz, and Robert Sean Leonard - an experience she still cherishes.
Following her relocation to Los Angeles, Clea continued to work in television, theater, and indie film, solidifying her status as a talented and versatile performer. Her membership in SAG/AFTRA and Women in Film Los Angeles reflects her dedication to her craft and her commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the entertainment industry.
