This generally means McConky gets bombarded by consequences of Penisi’s actions, but the actors’ chemistry on and off screen helps save Penisi from looking like too much of a dickpunch-deserving douchebag.
Kevin Heffernan stars as Tacoma FD’s Terry McConky, while Steve Lemme is his second-in-command, Captain Eddie Penisi.
The two men are friends that can depend each other in some cases, but it’s in Penisi’s blood to stick with the mindset that McConky is still just one of the responsibility-dodging crew as opposed to the man in charge.
