How I met Denis Leary
after a Q and A screening of a film which go starred Liz Hurley in London. Bigger than I thought he’d be, but very nice
Irish American actor, comedian, writer and director. He worked as a stand-up comic and achieved some notoriety for his acerbic take on American life. Appeared as the lead in the FX fireman hit, ‘Rescue Me,’ for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe. Founded the Leary Firefighters’ Foundation charity in response to the Dec. 3, 1999 warehouse fire that killed six firefighters in his hometown of Worcester, MA. His cousin Jeremiah Lucey was among the six heroic firefighters killed. Leary also established a second division of LFFF, the Leary Firefighters’ Foundation Fund for New York’s Bravest in response to the FDNY’s losses in the Sept. 11th attacks.

He is hero and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself. And he is quite cute for his age.
If limited to one reason only: “The Ref” a favorite “Christmas” movie. :)
Leary was in my home town (Chester, NS) to film a movie several years ago.
We were watching a scene being shot and he turned around in his chair and said
“You guys skipped school just to see me didn’t you?”
And I said “It’s five o’clock. School got out two hours ago.”
He laughed and called me a “little fucker.”
