Dominic Keating

Dominic Keating (né Power; born 1 July 1961) is a British television, film and theatre actor, known for his portrayals of Tony in the Channel 4 sitcom Desmond’s and Lieutenant Malcolm Reed on Star Trek: Enterprise.

Keating was born Dominic Power in Leicester, to an Irish father; his grandfather, a brigadier, was awarded an OBE.[1] His first stage performance was in primary school, playing a character in The Ragged School. He then attended Uppingham School.

After graduating from the University College London with first class honours in history,[2] he tried various jobs before deciding to be a professional actor. Since there was another Dominic Power already represented by the actor’s union Equity, he took his mother’s maiden name of Keating.[3] To obtain his Equity card, he worked in a drag act called Feeling Mutual.
