Biografie
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Colm Meaney is perhaps best known for his role as Chief Operating Officer Miles O’Brien on the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Meaney has finished shooting the independent British feature Hot Potato, starring alongside Ray Winstone, and he’s currently producing and starring in Perfect Stranger, a film written and directed by Tony Bestard.
He was seen in Get Him To The Greek and Robert Redford’s latest film The Conspirator. Parked, an Irish film Meaney stars in is set to premiere at the Dublin International Film Festival in 2011. Other recent film credits include: Tom Hooper’s The Damned United; Turning Green, an independent film set in Ireland; and the hit film Law Abiding Citizen.
His feature film debut was in John Huston’s The Dead (1987), but it was his performance in director Alan Parker’s The Commitments that gained him wider recognition with North American audiences. He also starred in the other two films in the highly acclaimed Roddy Doyle Barrytown trilogy, The Snapper (for which he received a best actor Golden Globe nomination) and The Van, both directed by Steven Frears. He starred in two further Parker films: Come See The Paradise and The Road To Wellville.
Meaney has starred in large studio films such as Con Air, Mystery, Alaska, Under Siege, Far and Away as well as highly acclaimed independent films such as Layer Cake, Intermission, The Boy and Girl From County Clare, This Is My Father, The Englishman That Went Up A Hill, But Came Down A Mountain, Claire Dolan, Four Days, Into The West and Monument Avenue. Meaney won Best Actor at the Newport Beach Film Festival for the indie film How Harry Became A Tree, a role that also saw him nominated for Best Actor at the Irish Film Awards. Other recent films include 3 and Out, Five Fingers and Kings, which was Ireland’s 2008 official Academy Award entry, and for which Meaney was nominated again as Best Actor at the Irish Film Awards.
For television, Meaney’s credits include the AMC pilot Hell on Wheels, Alice, Covert One: The Hades Factor, ZOS, Scarlet, Random Passage, Boss Lear, Law and Order: Criminal Intent and David Mamet’s The Unit.
On stage, Meaney made his Broadway debut in Breaking The Code opposite Derek Jacobi and recently starred in the highly acclaimed production of Moon For The Misbegotten at London’s Old Vic and on Broadway. Other recent stage work include The Cider House Rules (for which he won an Obie Award) at New York’s Atlantic Theater, and Juno And The Paycock at London’s Donmar Theater.
