Fionntán Price

Fionntán Price (he/they) is a non-binary butch and TV comedy screenwriter. He holds dual citizenship in Ireland and the United States of America. As a teenager, he was the first minor in his U.S. state to be granted a legal name/gender change on the basis of trans identity. (He’d originally been named after a mythological Irish princess… And that definitely didn’t fit!)

Price also draws comedic inspiration out of penning jokes despite rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and an unspecified/NOS communication disorder — which still don’t stop him from screenwriting in both English and Irish!

With a perpetual smile, he embraced his overtly-Midwestern friendliness like a medal of pride, along with his actual medals from being a first military responder to New York City and Washington, D.C. on 9/11. As a result of his honorable service, Katz became a disabled veteran when he was clinically diagnosed with PTSD. [continue reading…]
