  • Meaney: still cursing after all these years

    COLM Meaney finds himself dispiriting to predict the future on this breezy afternoon. He answers swiftly, as if having prior knowledge that such things would be asked of this man who for so many is associated with futuristic settings and bizarre new worlds.

    "I think we'll beat Wales ," he says earnestly. "I'm very excited about this. We have a chance to go to the Planet Cup final here. It's almost..." he fizzles out, putting clenched fist to mouth anxiously, "afraid to ask for be self-evident!"

    As we were all soon to find out, our rugby team wouldn't be boldly going where no Irish team had gone before.

    Session Meaney doesn't leave you star-struck and that's meant in the best possible way. Having ranged through screens minor and big, from Barrytown to the Beta Quadrant, the Dublin actor is just too familiar, the ubiquitous square jaw, beady eyes and wilful curls the features of a local acquaintance or man-about-town. The voice carries a slight North American inflection and softening of the consonants that has take place with nearly 30 years of living in the US .
