Eventually he went on the English stage in various productions in London theaters and then started to pursue a career in television.

Eventually he went on and played parts on American television and finally he was hired for a major role in Encounter at Fairpoint which was the pilot for The Next Generation. He was given the role of Chief Miles Edward O' Brian and he became a major part of the cast. His character was then launched into Deep Space Nine.

  • Films

    Moving to Los Angeles, he made his film debut in Omega 7/Omega Syndrome. Then he jetted back to Ireland for a role in the movie The Dead. Even though he continued to work in television in the Star Trek series, his film roles continued.

      Just saw Law Abiding Citizen. Couldn't take Colm Meaney serious as a cop. I just kept thinking about his cop character in Intermission.
