For me Colm Meaney wins this hands down. Good in Star Trek but great in other things.

Layer Cake, It's always sunny in Philadelphia and Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa are the 3 that come to mind first.

pretty good in the "Hell on Wheels" series. It also features Anson Mount.

Con Air, as the baddie.

The Man Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain, as a goodie.

He’s great in intermission. And it’s a good movie.

And the snapper!

Colm Meaney's performance in Layer Cake is simply astounding!
