Denis Leary

What do you make of this asshole?

 

[sybaritical]

He got famous by ripping off Bill Hicks' stand up act.

Enough said.

Dennis Leary is like Dennis Miller to me...at one point I found them funny...now I wonder what the **** was I smoking.

Just curious - what caused this to become a topic today? Is Denis Leary in the news or something?

So they both suck?

I like him well enough, in small doses. Liked The Ref, but mostly because Kevin Spacey held his own.

Have seen a few eppies of Rescue Me and it was better than I expected, but it hasn't stuck. Then again nothing has stuck this season - no shows this year are must-see for me.

thanks for the fine post

i like leary in movie roles such as suicide kings, but i tried listening to his stand up once and got super bored

Though that is definitely true, IMO...Leary has actually gone on to do some good stuff outside of what he ripped off from Hicks. I wouldn't say his stand up is anything good...but I really love Rescue Me. Seems clear that he always had more in mind than stand up.

Wow.
You are sooooo right.

Not at all, and there's a solution to this problem -

One wonders how you know about this ^

Have always hated his stand up, and never liked him in interviews, but I think he's been phenomenal (especially the first 5 seasons) on Rescue Me. Doesn't get talked about enough, what he does on that show, as an actor or a writer.
