The "Rescue Me" and "Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll" veteran stars in "The Moodys," a limited-run Fox sitcom about a dysfunc- tional Chicago family re- united for the holidays, for better or worse. The show airs two of its six episodes on each of three nights starting Wednesday, Dec. 4, then continuing the fol - lowing Monday and Tues- day. Elizabeth Perkins ("Weeds") plays Leary's wife, with Jay Baruchel ("Man Seeking Woman"), Chelsea Frei ("Victoria Gotti: My Father's Daugh - ter") and Francois Arnaud ("The Borgias") as the couple's grown children. "It's probably the cra- ziest shooting schedule I've ever been involved with," the dryly witty Leary muses, "with the exception of a couple of reshoots for movies. We go on the air a month after we wrapped, and I've never done any- thing that crazy before." Still, Leary adds that he has confidence in the outcome largely because of Bob Fisher, one of its writers, directors and executive producers: "He and I adapted the British show 'Sirens' together for USA Network, and we had a great time. I say 'No' to everything, basically, but he's one of the people on my short list. I'm always looking to work with some- body I know or somebody I'm really interested in working with. Nobody can guarantee that anything is going to be good or even middling. You can only do the work, so I want to have a good time doing it." Denis Leary is the head of the family in Fox's 'The Moodys' The identity of the featured celebrity is found within the answers in the puzzle.
