Movies.ie posted a new interview with Star Trek Deep Space Nine actor Colm Meaney. Here are few excerpts.

Q:Your working on the an American remake of ‘Life on Mars', how is that coming along?

A:Well we've shot the pilot but with the writer's strike things slowed down for a while. Now it's a matter of waiting and seeing what the American audience and networks make of it and we'll see... It was terrific; myself and another Dub Jason O'Mara play American cops.

Q:Finally, you're probably most known for your sci-fi roles: first, Star Trek and after you appeared in several episodes of Stargate Atlantis. Any plans to return to sci-fi?

A:After seven years in space, I think its time for a change! (Laughs). To be honest, I always think actors should avoid tying themselves to a genre or just one role. I played Miles for over seven years in two shows and it was great but its time for a sci-fi break. I'm excited to see where J.J Abrams will go with the new Star Trek movie next year but for me, it's time for a change!
