Colm Meaney to Get Irish Academy Lifetime Achievement Honor


"I was truly shocked," the 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' and 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' actor says about the honor that he will receive in Dublin on Feb. 14.

“To say I was surprised when I got the news that IFTA wanted to give me this award would be an understatement. “To be asked to join this long list of very illustrious previous recipients is a huge honor, and I’m thrilled and looking forward to a good night in Dublin.” IFTA lauded his career, spanning five decades, noting that it has seen him “work with renowned filmmakers, including John Huston, Robert Redford, Michael Mann, Jim Sheridan, Neil Jordan, Alan Parker, Warren Beatty and Ron Howard, and alongside actors such as Al Pacino, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Bruce Willis, Anjelica Huston, Hugh Grant, Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, Julie Walters, Brian Cox, Samuel L. Jackson, James Caan, Burt Reynolds, Patrick Stewart and Michael Gambon, to name a few.”
