In 2012, Montana was cast as Johnny "J.T." Turturro in Graceland. In regards to fan reaction to the show, he stated, "Being cast on a regular procedural, where everything gets wrapped up by the end of the episode, was always a fear of mine because that doesn't really test you as an actor. On this show, every week we're playing somebody different, there's great dialogue, I love my co-stars, it's fun to be at work, and I think the fans are seeing that. Regardless of whether they like the show or not, I think they like the cast and the dynamic we have together." In 2015, Montana appeared in Michael Mann's Blackhat as Lozano, a "wanted criminal." Montana auditioned for a lead role and did not receive it but got offered a supporting role. From 2018 to 2021, he was a member of the main cast of Good Girls as Rio. The show was cancelled after four seasons. In 2021, Montana appeared in one episode of the television show All American, portraying coach Dante Smart. In April 2022, it was announced that Montana would join season four of the show Mayans M.C. as a member of the Yuma Mayans. Montana is married to Adelfa Marr, with whom he has one child.
