Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award
Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award
The prolific actor — best known for playing Miles O'Brien in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" — will receive the honor at the IFTA awards on Feb. 14
'Thank you, thank you. As you know I've suffered for my art'
Congratulations! He represents two things I love very much ... Star Trek and Ireland. He is also someone that represents a generation as we've seen him and grown familiar with him through so many appearances in TV and movies over the years.
Oh no! You can’t break the laws of physic; O’Brien MUST suffer! Take it away before the universe suffers a subspace quasar tachyon inversion burst collapse to the hull or something. 😉
His imdb page is suprisingly prolific https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0000538/ 151 roles since 1973 is a pretty damn good run.
i was so excited he was set as charlies dad in sunny. it was perfect
The cheese mongrel
I loved him in Layer Cake where he plays the opposite of Miles O'Brien.
The first thing I ever saw him in was “Intermission”, so you can imagine my shock upon discovering him on Trek a couple years ago.
First time I saw him outside Star Trek was in a Scarlett O'Hara TV miniseries.
Imagine my surprise when he's driving her around in a horse and buggy: an olde time transporter chief!
That was such a good movie. I must give it a rewatch.
Call him ‘Daddy’. Everyone calls him Daddy.
My favourite role of his (outside of Trek) is as the Elvis-loving dad in The Commitments.
It’s about time!
More than deserved!
Really liked him in Hell on Wheels. Surprisingly believable as Thomas Durant.
