His imdb page is suprisingly prolific https://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.
-
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!
-
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.

I first saw him in Hell on Wheels.

-
i was so excited he was set as charlies dad in sunny. it was perfect
-
The cheese mongrel

-
My favourite role of his (outside of Trek) is as the Elvis-loving dad in The Commitments.
-
More than deserved!
-
It’s about time!
-
Call him ‘Daddy’. Everyone calls him Daddy.
-
'Thank you, thank you. As you know I've suffered for my art'
-
Really liked him in Hell on Wheels. Surprisingly believable as Thomas Durant.
-
This was my introduction to him!

Oh no! You can’t break the laws of physics; 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.
