Denis Leary Meets Dean Martin
My most mondo experience wasn't so much a year but the first four weeks
I spent in Hollywood, back in 1993. I was making Demolition Man in L.A.,
which was bizarre enough - I mean, me in a big budget movie with
Stallone and Snipes? It was also Sandra Bullock's first big flick.
My agent told me he got a call from Dean Martin. Apparently, Dean loved
my show No Cure for Cancer and wanted me to come over and have dinner with
him.

when he said it. So I drove over to his house in Beverly Hills. Sure enough, the door
popped open and there was Dean fucking Martin, wearing a Members Only jacket.
He looked magnificent: trim and tan with a big head of hair and the whole cigarette
thing going. It was kinda strange, because he looked just like my dad, who had passed away a long time before. He came over and gave me a hug -this was the first time I ever met the guy.

straight. Dean was smoking cigarettes twice as fast as I was, and pounding 7&7's
like they were soda. One "7" was heavily favored over the "7," but he never slurred his words or looked unsteady. Meanwhile, I was drinking beer because I wanted to remember all the details. About halfway through the night, he
asked me to have a whiskey. When I told him I was okay, he said, "What are you, a
pussy?"
I couldn't believe it - I had just gotten called a pussy by Dean Martin!
That was, like, one of my lifetime goals realized.
