OK, everyone knows that Bill Gates is my No. 1 Idle, but Denis Leary would have to be in a close second. Not only is the guy Irish, but he's cousins with Conan O'Brian. Well, I don't know if that is a blessing or a curse. He's actually a stand up guy. He has written, directed, produced, and starred in countless films and TV shows. Also, he started the Leary Firefighters Foundation charity, which donates money and helps firefighters families.
Founded the Leary Firefighters' Foundation charity in response to the Dec. 3, 1999 warehouse fire that killed six firefighters in his hometown of Worcester, MA. His cousin Jeremiah Lucey was among the six heroic firefighters killed. Leary also established a second division of LFFF, the Leary Firefighters' Foundation Fund for New York's Bravest in response to the FDNY's losses in the Sept. 11th attacks.
Anybody that can do all of that, and still be related to Conan, is a stand up guy, in my opinion. Nah, I'm just kidding, Conan isn't really all that bad. What's your opinion?
