This manic, chain-smoking actor made his first big impression as a hilariously angry stand-up comic in the early '90s with his one-man show No Cure for Cancer. Screen parts followed, and Denis Leary quickly pro... read more

  • Cheers: New York's Funniest to the Rescue | Cheers & Jeers | 7/2/2008
    Cheers to Rescue Me for firing up the funny with its summer minisodes. Denis Leary's FDNY dramedy has grown increasingly grim over its four seasons — does every other guy (cousin, son, brother, father, Chief) in Tommy Gavin's life have to die? So the shorts' lighter tone comes as a welcome comic relief, whether they're about Garrity struggling to give up sugar in the face of Lou's famous donuts or Tommy's erotic dream proving that three's company but four's a crowd when Probie joins the action. The minisodes may run only a few minutes each, but they pack more fun than two grueling hours of America's Got Talent. • Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more
  • Denis Leary and Minisodes Come to the Rescue | TV Show Previews | 6/23/2008
    The summer would be just a little less hot without the boys from Ladder 62. Fortunately, FX is keeping our Rescue Me passion stoked with 10 "minisodes" (Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET and also at Crackle.com). The five-minute standalone vignettes will premiere June 24 as a sort of preview to the strike-delayed fifth season (which isn't kicking off until April '09). Series cocreator and star Denis Leary chatted with us about those, as well as the status of Tatum O'Neal. — Mike FlahertyTV Guide: These minisodes seem ideally suited for a show like Rescue Me.Dennis Leary: Yeah. It would be really hard for another drama to do them. But we have comedy and drama, as well as giant action sequences, which play well in small doses. People will get a taste of everything they like about the show.TV Guide: Tell me about a couple of the plotlines.Leary: In one, Sean Garrity (Steven Pasquale) spills a drink in his bed while the guys are asleep in the bunkroom, and he decides to climb into bed with... read more
  • Cheers: Lost & Laws to the Rescue | Cheers & Jeers | 3/7/2008
    Cheers to the Rescue Me crew for keeping their careers simmering. Andrea Roth was suitably creepy as Juliet's island therapist on Lost, and John Scurti (sans his firefighter 'stache) was surprisingly convincing as a no-nonsense judge on Law & Order. Meanwhile, James McCaffrey sizzles as Julianna Margulies' P.I. paramour on exec producer Denis Leary's new Fox drama Canterbury's Law. With the news that the strike may have pushed Rescue's traditional summer season back until next March, these side gigs could be fans' only lifelines.For more on Lost, check out the new Cheers & Jeers vodcast. read more
  • Writer-producer Denis Leary: I'm Striking Against Myself | WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows | 11/14/2007
    It's been good news, bad news for Denis Leary, who, not long after learning that Rescue Me had been picked up for another season, saw the FX series put in limbo by the WGA strike. Explaining the duality he must contend with as a writer and producer on the show he helped create, Leary told TV Guide at Tuesday's 7th Annual BASH for New York's Bravest to Benefit The Leary Firefighters Foundation, "One part of my body isn't talking to the other part. I'm in physical strike against myself."Leary appreciates where the writers are coming from in their asking for compensation in new-media playback — an outlet where producers allege no money is being made to share. "If a guy says, 'I want a raise' or whatever and you say, 'But there's no money here,' the truth of the matter is that if there is nothing, you just bulls--t and go, 'Yeah, sure, I'll give you a raise' — if there is nothing to be had." But since producers are putting up a fight, Leary surmises, "there's a pile of money... read more
