    I noticed that there is no Gary threads yet so I decided to start things off. I absolutely LOVE Gary Sinise. He's so hot! I loved him in Of Mice and Men. That was the movie that got me hooked on him. I religously watch CSI: NY now like it's going out of style. I really want to see the movieMore Mission to Mars mainly because it has him in it. Gary Sinise is just awsome. My family doesn't understand what I see in him but they don't have to. :) So what do you guys think? Do you agree with me? Let me know whatchya guys think. :D

    I think Gary Sinise is very taleneted, however I think there needs to be more emotion and interaction with him in the show. Also the writing needs help! However I would like to see the show succeed, changes must be made. Good Luck! hide show

    I watch Gary in other roles he is very talented and sometimes I think this does not show the full scope of his talent. However with some changes with scripts and the interaction between the other actors on the show I believe this could be a very successful series. I think more on the street action and less in the lab might help! although I understand this is CSI, it may just be too much techinical data for the audience to handle. Not sure but that is my opinion! A talented cast there should be no reason this series is not a success. Good Luck CSI!

    I love watching Gary Sinise in whatever he is doing. He's great. I get upset when I can't get my CSI:NY fix of the day or week. hide show

    I give this show overall a 10. I would like to see more love interest for MAC. I don't think in reality a real life Detective would go as long as he has without a woman a special woman in his life. Let's see Mac Taylor in love and happy for a change. In a way I am glad Stella has gone. She was overbearing and too strong you would think she was the boss and not Mac. I think the writers need a shake up and get some fresh hot stuff. Look when Mac gets blown up he gets a little scrape meanwhile Don gets his insides torn open. It dosen't make sense. If Mac gets blown up, kidknapped, shot, beaten or otherwise can it be more realistic and not just a scratch and a headache and a few dorps of blood. Please!

    Hot, cute and great actor... hide show

    Gary Sinise is one of the best actors I have ever seen. Also I don't mention about how hot he is. His smile is very cute. I first saw him in Apollo 13 and the ransom with Mel Gibson. He seems cold and extremely serious but also he has a sense of humor. He fits his role in CSI:NY, because of his presence, I like CSI:NY more than CSI:MIAMI.
    I love to watch the series but I hope I will see him in more movies.
    And also he has a very good heart. He tries to do his best to help child and troops in IRAQ.

    GARY SINISE STEALS THE STAGE! hide show

    Gary Sinise is a wonderful actor. I watch CSI:NY, and it wouldn't be the same without him. Forrest Gump was a great movie too. I can't think of any other movies he has been in, and that shouldn't be. He should be in many more movies. I am confident that Gary Sinise could hold down his own show. I think he is a very talented man. He helpes war veterans and that is very admirable. A true good guy. I am grateful that producers are casting such great actors these days. Gary Sinise will be the next big thing on the screen!

    Gary Sinise is one of the best actors I have ever come across. Everything he wants you to feel just oozes out of the screen. From crazy long haired characters to justice longing detectives, there are few that can beat this man. hide show

    I started to love Gary once I started watching CSI: NY. My mother got me addicted to him when she told me who he was. She told me all the movies he was in, all the times had played for the troops, and I was hooked. He has such passion on and off screen. As Mac Taylor, I see a man who you could go to because he is that tender and gentle but knows when to pull out the marine tactics and take down any thug who breaks the law. Gary has many of Mac's characteristics. In real life Gary is a hoot! He loves playing jokes and loves rockin' out. In a few of his past movies, you can definitely see that. Long hair, wife-beater shirt, cigarettes- give this guy a role and he'll perform it for you. :lol: He has a ton of respect for the troops which I really appreciate. He doesn't want a lot of media for himself and I really like that. He is a great family man, as I have heard. He is totally underrated and under praised. This is a classic right in front of us. A classic who has passion. A classic who loves his country. Go Gary Sinise.
