THE SHOTCALLER // Dennis Leary

http://www.complex.com/CELEBRITIES/shotcaller/Dennis-Leary

This particular article is in interview of the comedian Dennis Leary. The first thing that the article addresses you with is the fact that he no longer is just a comedian. He's now a reliable actor, an inspired writer, and a bankable producer. To me the main objective or purpose of the article is to let people know who Dennis Leary is and what seperates him from other comedians such as Eddie Murphy. One thing that the interview does at the start of the article is to inform you who Dennis Leary is and a brief run down of his credentials in case you don't know much about Dennis. I found it interesting or different from most actors that Dennis Leary is all about the quality of his work not just about how much money he can make. He goes on to say that he could never do what Eddie Murphy does when he makes terrible movies like Norbit just to make a lot of cash. I was intrigued to learn that Dennis pitched is show Rescue Me, to only HBO and FX because thoses were the only two networks that he thought would let him create Rescue Me how he thought it should without hindering his creativity.
