Trivia[]
- Established the Leary Firefighters Foundation (LFF) in 2000 following the tragic deaths of six firefighters in his hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts in 1999 which included one of his childhood friends, Tommy Spencer and his cousin, Jeremiah Lucey. The LFF helps fund equipment, vehicles, education and training for firefighters throughout the United States and assisted in the efforts to rebuild firefighter companies' capabilities in the wake of 9/11 in New York and after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
- Due to New York Fire Department being shorthanded during the World Trade Center Collapse on September 11, 2001; he volunteered to assist and drove a fire engine during the incident.
Quotes[]
- "You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny, or you ain't."
- "You can have good writing, but a great actor will make it feel and sound like great writing. You can have great writing, and mediocre actors will make it feel mediocre. Without the actors, you have nothing."
- "What's politically correct a lot of times is not funny."
- "I obviously identify with the anti-authority figure. I've pretty much always had problems with authority, ever since I was a kid. But, yeah, it's not identifying, I think it's more a part of my natural DNA that I question anybody who has a plan. Everybody's got to have an angle; that's the way I grew up."
- "Stand-up comedy and comedy in general is the ultimate form of free speech, because you get to poke holes in all the pretentious bubbles politicians and pundits and popes and pretenders try to float over our heads."
