Icons & Innovators: Denis Leary and Michael J. Fox

"You want us to talk to each other?" Denis Leary jokes, relaxing with his old pal Michael J. Fox. "This is really hard, because we don't have a lot to say to each other. Actually, we do, but it's mostly hockey talk." In fact, Leary, 54, and Fox, 50, share a lot more than their love for the Boston Bruins: They're devoted dads and husbands (Fox married Family Ties costar Tracy Pollan in 1988, one year before Leary wed writer Ann Lembeck) with their own charities: the Leary Firefighters Foundation and the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Fox's Emmy-winning role as a hedonistic paraplegic on Leary's recently wrapped drama Rescue Me reignited his acting career, leading to his irreverent turns as an...read more

Exclusive Rescue Me DVD Clip: Deconstructing Tommy's "Death"

Rescue Me's series finale ended with Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) alive and well — perhaps better than ever.

Rescue Me postmortem: Creators talk Lou's heroism and Tommy's happy ending

But let's not forget that, despite the show's happy ending, Tommy technically "died" in the Season 6 premiere after being shot by his Uncle Teddy (Lenny Clarke) in Season 5's cliff-hanger. In the exclusive video clip from the Season 6 DVD below, co-creator Peter Tolan discusses Tommy's brief venture into the afterlife as well as his vision of eternity with his fallen first-responder brethren... read more

Rescue Me Postmortem: Creators Talk Lou's Heroism and Tommy's Happy Ending

After seven seasons, FX's Rescue Me concluded with its usual blend of dark plots and dark comedy before ultimately leaving tortured hero Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) with a surprisingly sunny outlook on the future.

That ending reflects the stories of a couple real-life firefighters who inspired his character, Leary says.

Peter Tolan celebrates the end of Rescue Me by dropping his pants

"They're definitely in a place, 10 years later, where they still love the job," he tells TVGuide.com. "They're actually as happy as you could expect them to be. They're whole. They're back to as close as they could be to the men they were before the events of 9/11 happened... read more

Finale Review: Rescue Me

Few things are more satisfying than watching a great episode of TV with an appreciative audience. Such was the case Wednesday night when FX screened the Rescue Me finale (my second viewing, but my first on the big screen) at New York's grand Ziegfeld Theater, a benefit for Denis Leary's Firefighters Foundation. Fittingly, a number of NYFD's finest were in the crowd, laughing at all the right places and cheering at many others (and maintaining a respectful silence when things got serious, which never lasted for very long).

It was a triumphant end to one of cable's most distinctive (if sometimes maddening) series, a well-timed tribute to ...

Watercooler: Was Rescue Me's Series Finale Hot or Not?

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em folks!

Last night, Rescue Me rang its final alarm with an intensely fitting finale. By centering on the aftermath of Lou's death, we got a heaping load of the show's gallows humor and tough-guy heart, best displayed as the crew gathered to spread the red velvet "ashes" of their fallen Lieutenant. And while the finale was timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of 9/11, star Denis Leary and show creator Peter Tolan allowed the memory of that tragic day to... read more
