Gary Sinise, perhaps best known for playing "Lt. Dan" in the film "Forest Gump," co-founded Operation Iraqi Children after visiting military bases in Iraq twice last year on USO trips. "I saw such wonderful things happening between Americans and Iraqis," Sinise told The Tidings. "I saw a camaraderie and affectionate outpouring of gratitude toward the Americans." According to Sinise, he witnessed children hugging American soldiers for helping to rebuild schools. Article
(Sheesh--we didn't hear that from the MSM!)
I scrunched my brow for weeks trying to remember where I saw this season's ('24') Erin Driscoll before. She was Madeline, second in command at "Section", in the 'La Femme Nikita' series.
What an awesome idea! Folks can come with their whole families teenagers to little ones. I saw an ad for CSI-NY the other day, and when I saw he was in it, I decided to try to find out when it was on. I don't watch network television, but for him, I'll make an exception.
He starred in the TV miniseries "The Stand" which Sir SuziQ and i enjoyed tremendously. We knew the story was something totally different when we saw the guys in their jail cells reach out to each other, hold hands and say the Lord's Prayer! You could knocked us over with a feather!
I remember his work in "The Stand" well. He was good then, and has only gotten better...

I'm just telling ya what I read. The Christian Science Monitor says he is one of them.
Do Evangelicals consider them "Christian"?
"The son of a Methodist father and a Christian Scientist mother, he calls himself a believer, even if others on the gospel road might consider parts of his life unconventional."
Gerald's wife Delta Burke.
Me too.
Agree about Caruso, but the worst thing about CSI Miami is that pathologist who keeps talking to the corpses. Somebody should tell her to stop, it's weird....
ROTFL!! It's that 'suave' taking off and putting on of the sunglasses! Once a show is plenty.
Sounds like his movie Tender Mercies, one of my favorites.
I recognized her immediately, though I've only ever seen smippets of "La Femme Nikita". She plays the very same character. ;o) If you'll notice, the SET of "24" is very similar to LFN, as well.
This is our first season watching "24", and we're enjoying it. We're not big tv watchers because there's so little that's decent to watch. We've become fans of CSI since it's been running on Spike TV; the only show on that network worth watching, IMO. We just ordered up "24"on DVD from Netflix. The first season had a long wait, so we're starting in with the second, though I understand that it's not problem jumping right in the later episodes.
I dont' find that strange at all, but then, maybe I'm strange too. ;o)
Thanks for the post.
Yeah, I noticed that Erin/Madeline are one and the same character. Ingenious casting, in my opinion. And the sets for the two series ('24' and 'La Femme Nikita') are VERY similar. "Section" and CTU are essentially the same thing. Jack is Michael, Chloe is Birkoff.
My youngest son (13) and I watch two TV shows each week - - '24' and 'Monk". Other than that, there's very little TV viewing around here other than sports and VH1, although I did get bored last night and stumbled onto CSI on Spike. I stayed tuned because I saw Gary Sinise and everything he's in is good.

This is a good man. I hardly ever watch television but I watch his show because of him. May the good guys wins and the scumbags finally lose.
We like "Monk", too. Have enjoyed it for the few years it's been on, though it's hard to follow when it's going to air, sometimes.
I KNEW this was a good guy!! My instincts were right on!
