His imdb page is suprisingly prolific m.imdb.com/name/nm0000538/ 151 roles since 1973 is a pretty damn good run.

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.

That was such a good movie. I must give it a rewatch.

Wildly late but your comment did cause me to rewatch Intermission. What a great flick. The opening scene had stuck with me from before because it’s so well done but the brown sauce bit was amazing and overall it’s such a fun watch.

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!

My favourite role of his (outside of Trek) is as the Elvis-loving dad in The Commitments.

Really liked him in Hell on Wheels. Surprisingly believable as Thomas Durant.

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. 😉

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.
