Boy, did I open a can of worms today at the press conference for "Rescue Me," the great Denis Leary comedy. It's back (soon) for a fifth season, and in watching the second episode I noticed the show drifting back to the 9/11 memories theme it explored at length in the first season. So I grabbed a microphone and pursued that questioning with the producers, and I asked a couple of the actors to chime in as well.
One person I asked was Daniel Sunjata, who plays Franco on "Rescue Me." I asked him because there is this fascinating, where-did-THIS-come-from scene in the second episode. A French journalist is interviewing firemen who were at Ground Zero on 9/11 for a new 10th-anniversary commemorative coffee table book. First, watch what Sunjata's character says. I would call this high-end conspiracy theory-mongering, the type that many people might say, "Hm. Well, I don't agree, but you raise some very interesting points there."
In part Franco says:
"9/11? Inside job. Plain and simple. And all you gotta do is connect the dots. ... I am talking about a massive neoconservative government effort, been in the works 20 years. Ever heard of PNAC? Project for a New American Century? According to them, the end goal of their effort is American global domination. Full spectrum dominance, they call it. Now, first question that pops into my mind is: How do you pull that off in this day and age?"

Wow. First Obama, now Franco...
That show “jumped the shark” two seasons ago...
I think many in Hollywood have a hard time with acting and reality. Probably because they scrip reality shows in Hollywood.
Oh brother....and UFO’s are contributing to Climateglobalwarmingchange...
Priceless. This idiot actually supported Cynthia McKinney?? Well, Franco was a skirt-chasing, aging moron so there’s no change there.
They cast the right guy for the brainless Christian de Neuvillette in Cyrano de Bergerac.
And this would be a bad thing because...?!?!?!
I like Leary, but not this show. It’s just another show ( about firefighters, and that’s okay) but who cares about the stupid sexual intermissions that, inevitably, get sillier and sillier.
And now this....
Sounds like he falls into that “useful idiot” catagory. See it in a thread near you.
However it kept drifting into the Nip/Tuck Twilight Zone of Weirdness, depravity and just stupidity
Only thing that surprising me is this article wasn't about Leary being a "Truther"
you ever see those All State commercials??.. I heard he is also believing that 9-11 is an inside job
Np crazier than Bernie Sanders and the National Portrait Gallery director.
And where was Dennis Leary to smack some sense into his cast mate?
It’s the Juuuuuuuuuuuuice...
