Colm Meaney (H.L. Mencken)

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Colm Meaney is perhaps best known for his role as Chief Operating Officer Miles O'Brien on the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Meaney left school in Dublin at the age of 17 to apprentice as a fisherman but his love of acting led him to enroll in drama classes at The Abbey, Dublin's National Theater. He first came to the United States in 1982 to work in New York and later made his Broadway debut in Breaking The Code opposite Derek Jacobi. He then moved to Los Angeles in 1987.

His feature film debut was in John Huston's The Dead, but it was his performance in director Alan Parker's The Commitments (the first of a trilogy) that gained him wider recognition with North American audiences. He also starred in the trilogy's other two films: The Snapper (for which he received a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination), and The Van, both directed by Steven Frears. He starred in two other Parker films as well, Come See The Paradise and The Road To Wellville.

Sen. Fred Thompson (William Jennings Bryan)

One of the most respected and visible figures speaking out on the important challenges facing America today, Fred Thompson's dedication to law and his passion for the founding principles that are America's bedrock led him to serve for eight years as a Senator from Tennessee and motivated his recent presidential bid.

The winner of two landslide elections to the United States Senate, Thompson focused on lowering taxes, strengthening national security, and cutting wasteful government spending. In 2002, he walked away from an easy reelection victory to seek new challenges.

Senator Thompson first appeared on screen in the film Marie in 1985, and subsequently appeared in numerous movies including No Way Out, In the Line of Fire, Die Hard II, Days of Thunder, and The Hunt for Red October. He has also appeared in the television series China Beach, Wiseguy, Matlock, and most notably Law & Order in which he portrayed New York District Attorney Arthur Branch.

The Lawrenceburg, Tennessee native attended Memphis State University where he earned an undergraduate degree in philosophy and political science, and received his law degree from Vanderbilt University.
