Denis was raised in his hometown, in the Catholic family of Irish immigrants, where his mother Nora was a maid and his father John an auto mechanic. Due to his ancestry, he has dual citizenship, of USA and Ireland. Denis attended Saint Peter-Marian High School in Worcester and later enrolled to Boston’s Emerson College. While in college, his interest in comedy was shown, and after graduation in 1981, he founded Emerson Comedy Workshop where he tutored for a couple of years.
Although he performed in various clubs in Boston for several years, his comedian career didn’t officially begin until 1990 when he appeared in the “Rascals Comedy Hour” TV show. Afterwards, he filmed a couple of MTV commercials, and his career developed quickly, as well as his net worth starting to rise.
The audience got the chance to discover Denis’ musical talent in 1993 with his “No Cure for Cancer” album which was later rewarded with Critic’s Award at the Edinburgh International Arts Festival. In the same year, he debuted on the big screen, in his first “real acting” role in the movie “The Sandlot”. As his fame began to rise, more ventures came in, enriching his portfolio and increasing his net worth.
During his career, now spanning almost 30 years, Denis Leary has starred in over 40 movies and TV shows, among which the most famous are “Demolition Man” (1993), “Natural Born Killers” (1994), “Underworld” (1996), “Wag the Dog” (1997) “The Matchmaker” (1997), and “True Crime” (1999). For his role in “The Thomas Crown Affair” in 1999, Denis earned a Blockbuster Entertainment’s Favorite Supporting Actor – Drama/Romance Award. Denis Leary’s most recent engagements include the comedy TV series “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll” and 3D animated adventure “Zootopia”. He has also released seven studio albums so far as well as five books. All these accomplishments have certainly added a significant sum to his overall net worth.
When it comes to his personal life, Denis has been married to Ann Lembeck Leary since 1989. They have two children, son Jack Leary is also an actor, mostly known for his appearance in “The Wolf of Wall Street” in 2013 and a daughter. Currently, the Leary family resides in Roxbury, Connecticut.
There have been some controversies connected to Denis Leary in the past as he was twice accused of plagiarism – allegedly he stole some comedy material from his friend and colleague Bill Hicks. In 2008, Louis CK claimed that Leary took his routine. After publishing his third book “Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid”, Leary got himself into conflict with the community and parents of autistic children.
Apart from his versatile career and supporting Cam Neely Foundation, Denis Leary founded his own charity organization in 1999, Leary Firefighters Foundation, after six firemen tragically died in his hometown. After 9/11, foundation created the Fund for New York’s Bravest, helping the families of the firemen who died in that act of terror.

| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | We live in a country where Rosa Parks had the courage and conviction to sit down long enough to start a revolution that lead to Al Sharpton screaming racism every time Barry Bonds gets indicted for taking performance enhancing drugs in order to break a home run record set by a black man who didn't even have the benefit of Advil. |
| 2 | Jon Stewart is exactly the same guy he's always been, only with money. He knows that the moment he really believes he's important, the funny goes away and he becomes Bill O'Reilly, except shorter and Jewish. |
| 3 | I bought my daughter a Chihuahua and I fell in love with it. So now I carry Coco around with me all the time. |
| 4 | Most movies suck, even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and you're a Hall of Famer. I don't think like those guys who say, "I'm hot again, so I've got to get back into a big movie." |
| 5 | Why hate someone for the color of their skin when there are much better reasons to hate them? |
| 6 | There we were in the middle of a sexual revolution wearing clothes that guaranteed we wouldn't get laid. |
| 7 | My biggest regret in life is that I didn't hit John Denver in the mouth while I had the chance. |
| 8 | Did you ever notice they never take any fat hostages? You never see a guy coming out of Lebanon going: "I was held hostage for seven months and I lost 175 pounds, I feel good and I look good and I learned self-discipline. That's the important thing." |
| 9 | The things that make me angry still make me angry. George Carlin is 67, and he's still as funny as he's ever been, and he's still angry. And that makes me feel good, because I feel like if I stick around long enough, I'll still be able to work. |
