Dominic Keating (born July 1, 1962) is the actor who portrayed the NX-01 Enterprise's armory officer, Lieutenant Malcolm Reed, on Star Trek: Enterprise.
Born in Leicester, England, he went to University College and earned a degree in history, with honors. But he kept hoping for an acting career, and participated in several University productions, ultimately becoming a professional actor.
He made television commericals during the late 1980s, most notably for Vidal Sassoons. His unusual pronunciation of the word "salon" in these commericals was ultimately parodied in a skit on NBC's Saturday Night Live.
Keating was a regular cast member on the popular British sitcome Desmond's from 1989 through 1993. A year after leaving that show, he made an uncredited appearance in the U.S. made-for-TV movie Shake, Rattle and Rock! Fellow Star Trek alumni Gerrit Graham, Dick Miller, William Schallert, and Dey Young also had roles in this movie.
In 1997, Keating made his feature film debut in the Disney comedy Jungle 2 Jungle. Star Trek: The Next Generation guest actor David Ogden Stiers (Timicin) co-starred in this film.
Keating was among several Trek actors who appeared in the 1999 independent film The Auteur Theory. Others who appeared in this film include Star Trek: Deep Space Nine star Armin Shimerman (Quark), Star Trek: Voyager star Garrett Wang (Harry Kim), and Paula Malcomson. The latter would go on to appear in ENT: "Silent Enemy, portraying Madeline Reed - the sister to Keating's Malcolm Reed.
Another independent film Keating appeared in was 2001's The Hollywood Sign. Star Trek: Generations actress Jacqueline Kim (Demora Sulu) co-starred in this film, and Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan) also made an appearance.
Keating has made guest appearances on a handful of TV series, including Inspector Morse, Poltergeist: The Legacy, G vs E, Special Unit 2, and The Immortal. He also appeared in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a member of the British Council of Watchers (Jeff Kober and Harris Yulin also appeared in the episode).
Keating went on to star in the 2006 horror movie Hollywood Kills, in which he plays a sadistic Hollywood producer who tortures potential movie stars. Besides this, he was recently cast in the feature film adaptation of the poem Beowulf, set to go into production in October for a release in 2007. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film will utilize the same 3-D motion capture technique as 2004's The Polar Express (also directed by Zemeckis), in which the physical performances of the actors are recorded digitally and then animated. Keating will play the role of Old Cain.
