Colm Meaney on Irish Talent, “Star Trek” & Why Digital Cameras Suck

from Locarno Meets · host Locarno Film Festival

Colm Meaney is the definitive Irish character actor of his generation, having starred in classics like “The Commitments”, “The Damned United”, and “Layer Cake” over a near 50-year career. Meanwhile, his roles in Hollywood blockbusters like “Die Hard 2”, “Con Air”, and “The Last of the Mohicans”, as well as on TV in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”, have cemented his place as one of those character actors we’re always happy to see appear in a movie. Meaney joined us to discuss his new movie – Duwayne Dunham’s “The Legend of the Happy Worker” – and to tell us quite why digital cameras suck.
