Denis Leary is also a bit of a philanthropist, founding the Leary Firefighters Foundation after his cousin and childhood friend were killed in a massive warehouse fire in Worchester, MA. The foundation has raised over 2.5 million dollars for fire departments in the area, providing equipment and facilities for the departments.
Though Leary's comedy is often sarcastic and full of angst, his rants rarely come down too hard on any one group. Though racial comedy has always been a hot button, Leary rarely delves into race. As he puts it, "Why hate someone for the color of their skin when there are much better reasons to hate them?Racism isn't born folks, it's taught. I have a two year old son. You know what he hates Naps!
Leary plans to continue to be a jack-of-all-trades in the entertainment business, bringing his humor to the stage, the big screen, and the small screen.
