Gary Alan Sinise (born March 17, 1955) is an Emmy-winning American actor and film director. In 1992, he directed the film and played the role of George Milton in the movie adaption of "Of Mice and Men." Sinise was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1994 for his role as Lieutenant Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump. He won a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for his role in Truman. In 1996, he played a corrupt cop in the Ron Howard dramatic hit Ransom. In 1998, Sinise was awarded an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for George Wallace.

Early life

Sinise was born in Blue Island, Illinois. In 1973, Sinise and two friends, Terry Kinney and Jeff Perry, founded the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Since its founding, Steppenwolf has showcased the talents of such notable actors as Kevin Anderson, Joan Allen, Gary Cole, Glenne Headly, John Malkovich, Jim True-Frost and Laurie Metcalf. At Steppenwolf, Sinise was able to hone his acting and directing skills.

Career

In 1982, Sinise's career began to take off when he directed and starred in Steppenwolf's production of True West. In 1983, he earned an Obie Award for his direction and a year later appeared with John Malkovich in the PBS' American Playhouse production of the play. In 1988, Gary directed Miles from Home, a movie starring Richard Gere, about two brothers' fight against the foreclosure of the family farm. It is considered a commentary on the issue that troubled many family farms in the 1980s. It was shot entirely on location in Iowa.

Sinise has also appeared in Forrest Gump, Of Mice and Men, Apollo 13, Reindeer Games, Mission to Mars, and The Stand. He has starred in two adaptations of John Steinbeck novels, Of Mice and Men, which he also directed, as well as the television broadcast version of The Grapes of Wrath. He also narrated the audio books for Travels with Charley and Of Mice and Men and is reportedly a great Steinbeck fan. Sinise once directed an episode of Thirtysomething, where his friend Terry Kinney had a recurring role.

In 2004, he began his first regular television series, in the crime drama CSI: New York, in which he plays Detective Mac Taylor. Sinise's musical prowess is demonstrated in CSI: NY season 2 episode 14, where, in the last moments of the episode, he plays the bass guitar in a jazz club with musicians Kimo and Carol Williams. Kimo Williams is a real life friend outside of television, and they belong to a band called the Lt. Dan Band, which frequently plays for the USO and other events.

It is rumored that he will play Dr. McCoy in Star Trek XI, a film reimagining of Star Trek.

He is the host in the video for the Epcot ride Mission: SPACE, at Walt Disney World, Orlando, FL.

Personal life

Since 2003, he has been involved with the Lieutenant Dan Band, performing for charities and non-profit organisations including the United Service Organizations and Operation Iraqi Children. The band is named for the character Sinise plays in Forrest Gump; he plays the bass guitar for the band. Sinise also produced an album for Canadian singer, Melanie Doane, with whom he is good friends.

He has been married to actress Moira Harris since 1981 and they have three children together: Sophia Ana (b. 1988), McCanna Anthony (b. 1990), and Ella Jane (b. 1992).
