Who was Monte Miller?

A dedicated and long-standing Guild member, Monte Miller was a staff writer with Crawford Productions writing for Matlock, Division 4 and Homicide. Apart from penning episodes for these classic shows, he was also committed to encouraging and assisting aspiring writers.

Following Miller’s death the Guild introduced the award in 1972 to acknowledge his contribution to the industry through his work with new writers.
