Posted 04.25.12 by Ryan Denis Leary has made a nice career out of playing cops and firemen lately. After playing firefighter Tommy Gavin on FX's Rescue Me for seven seasons, Leary is very happy with his latest role — playing "Emma Stone's dad" in Sony's upcoming Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man. "That’s the point in my career I’ve reached," Leary recently told The LA Times. "It will be ‘Emma Stone’s dad’ now, which, by the way, I’m fine with being. She’s the real thing; she’s fantastic."
Leary plays Capt. George Stacy in the reboot. While the character does meet a tragic fate in the Marvel comic books, it looks like Leary will be sticking with the franchise, admitting last August he will return for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, should the potential sequel happen. That means more improvising of his dialogue as he did for director Marc Webb.
