As we face into the festive season, Hollywood star Colm Meaney is spreading Christmas cheer and taking on the role of Santa Claus to give youngsters "a boost" after a year of lockdowns. The Intermission star said he's all in favour of getting into the Christmas spirit early to give youngsters nationwide a boost during lockdown. "Kids' lives have been turned upside down by this whole year between schools closing and not being allowed to do anything," he said. He said he tried to dissuade his daughter from following in his footsteps as an actor as it's such a cut-throat profession. He had initially encouraged her to explore her passion for archaeology, but the acting bug proved too strong.
