Too true. I'm in Finland - population 5,000,000, almost the same as Ireland, small film industry, same actors in almost every film.

Tis true!

It's his best role.
Chief and Julain, ah, good times.
I wonder what he got up to in the transporter room on the enterprise. All alone there.

Everything else = Sean McGinley thanking Gleeson, Ryan & Meany for their cast offs

Chief O'Brien

You know, having seen Colm in the likes of 'The Snapper' and 'The Van' and stuff like that over the years, I was never really able to take him seriously anytime I saw him in 'Star Trek'. Anytime I saw him I just expected him to suddenly break into a thick, Dub accent and start coming out with stuff like:

Captain Picard: "Bridge to Engineering. How soon before we can get the warp engines back online?"

Chief O' Brien (Meaney): "Ah, will ya hold your horses, ya baldy auld bollix! I'm working as fast as I can!"

Picard: "Wh... what did you just say, Chief O' Brien?"

O' Brien: "I said, hold yore bleeding horses, baldy conscience, I'm working as f**kin' fast as I can, right! Jaysus, there's always something with you, isn't there, ya auld bollix! Here I am, up to me knackers in some sort of glowing, radioactive shíte, busting me balls trying to get things working again and all I hear outta youse is, "Get the engines back online, Chief O' Brien." "Fix the photon torpedo launchers, Chief O' Brien." "Transport us back up to the ship, Chief O' Brien". There's never any f**kin' rest with you, is there?"

Picard: "Well I never! Chief O' Brien, I have never heard such.... such.... debase language in all my life! How dare you refer to me, your Captain, in such terms. Now I command you to get those warp engines back online this instant! We're like sitting ducks here at the moment and there's a Romulan warbird outside with their weapons fully charged and pointed right at us demanding we surrender or they will blow us to pieces!"

O' Brien: "Well then....... tell them to go f**k themselves, boss!"



So then, am I the only one who used to wait for a scene like that to happen in 'Star Trek'?

It was last weeks late late show - he was the 'intruder' who called Kenny & Byrne an ársehole.
Wonderful acting!

Don't be silly that's what the holodeck is for.

Yes. He's in every Irish film. Ever. In fact, it's a law.
He dresses up as other people; he has different stage names; and is known to play the female parts as well as male, often at the exact same time.
Thank you for asking; a signed pair of Meany Knickers are on the way to you.

I suppose you're right but i feel mention should be made of the extreme thinness on top of the haircut.Off topic for a second,anybody who says that Brian May out of queen has had the same haircut since the seventies is talking nonsense.If you compare his hair now with his hair in the seventies,anybody can see that todays style is slightly flatter on top.
