Michael Melia (born 1945) is an established British actor best known for his work on television.
Melia was born in Berkshire and attended St. Mary's College, Twickenham, the oldest Roman Catholic college in England. Before taking up acting he was a teacher. At one stage he ran a bar in Spain and thought about applying for a pub tenancy in England. However the idea was vetoed by his wife, former actress turned teacher, Celia Melia.
He began acting in television in the early 1970s, usually playing heavies or policemen, though he spent four years performing classic plays with the National Theatre.
He joined the BBC One soap opera EastEnders in 1990 as pub landlord Eddie Royle; however he lasted just over a year in this role as his character was killed off in September 1991 after being stabbed by Nick Cotton (John Altman) who was later tried for the murder but cleared.
After leaving EastEnders, he appeared as Frank Dagley on Dangerfield; and, more recently, Jerry Block for over a hundred episodes of the footballing soap opera Dream Team.
His rugged features have led to parts in numerous crime dramas: The Sweeney, The Bill, Minder in the Series 1 episode Monday Night Fever, C.A.T.S. Eyes, Campion, The Chinese Detective, Dempsey and Makepeace, Rumpole of the Bailey, Inspector Morse, Maigret, The Detectives, Daylight Robbery and New Tricks.
He has also had parts in many other established dramas including When the Boat Comes In, Coronation Street, Casualty and most recently Doctors and Emmerdale.
He is also known for having appeared on Doctor Who in full alien costume as the Terileptil Leader in the 1982 story The Visitation; and had a minor part on Blake's 7.
He lives in Hampton Wick, Surrey with his wife and pet cat. He has two children, Tom and Charlotte, who have both appeared as extras in the EastEnders market square.
More recently, he has appeared in short films, directed by his son Tom, which can be found on their website www.mean-eyedcat.co.uk.

Alors que le paquebot Britannic entame une croisière devant le mener d'Angleterre aux États-unis, un homme se faisant appeler « Juggernaut » (Freddie Jones) téléphone à Nicolas Porter (Ian Holm), directeur de la Sovereign Lines à qui appartient le Britannic pour lui annoncer qu'il a placé plusieurs bombes à bord. Après une petite explosion sur le pont du navire destinée à prouver qu'il est sérieux, Juggernaut exige une forte rançon afin de donner le moyen de désamorcer les bombes. Le temps étant exécrable, il n'y a aucun espoir de mettre les canots à la mer. Le commandant du Britannic (Omar Sharif) ne pouvant faire accepter le paiement de la rançon par les autorités, va devoir accueillir à bord une équipe de démineurs parachutée en pleine mer. Le chef des démineurs, Fallon (Richard Harris), homme exubérant et fantasque mais très compétent, va se heurter au commandant à la suite du décès de son meilleur homme et ami, Charlie (David Hemmings), lors de la tentative de désamorçage d'une des bombes. Alors que l'équipage et les passagers bien que terrorisés essayent de garder bonne figure, Fallon dépassé par la complexité des engins demande de l'aide à distance à un vieil ami, Sid Buckland, ancien démineur comme lui. L'heure fatale approche et les passagers s'apprêtent à embarquer dans les canots malgré les risques. Pendant ce temps, la police, arrivée chez Buckland se rend compte que Juggernaut et lui sont la même personne. Ils l'emmènent alors afin de parler à Fallon qui est arrivé à isoler le cœur de la bombe. Seul Juggernaut peut aider Fallon à franchir la dernière étape du désamorçage. Malgré leur amitié et ses prières, Juggernaut indique à Fallon la mauvaise manière mais celui-ci, soupçonneux, va, à la dernière seconde, choisir de lui-même et ainsi sauver sa vie, le bateau et ses occupants.
