Yeah, I’ve read similar that it was “just a job” from his view, but you’re right: if he’s offered a role and is available, he’d probably take it.
Even if he just pops up for a cameo as an Emergency Engineering Hologram or something. Maybe in Academy they find a 900 year old pattern buffer floating in deep space, and O’Brien pops out like Scotty in Relics. I would not be picky about how they bring him in, I guess, is what I’m saying. lol
Meaney had always struck me as the ultimate working actor, fairly ambivalent about Star Trek beyond it being a job (which is fine).
It’s hard to imagine him turning down an offer, were it too come in.
