#1 - This guy is an A list television star and probably B in films he has done. Probably not any higher than B list on name recognition though. Oh, he stars in one of those crime dramas. Anyway, for the past year he has just had his paychecks sent to directly to various charities in the city where he films his show.
Gary Sinise
Love <3
ReplyDeleteHe is truly one of the good guys, thanks for revealing this one, I remember he was the popular guess. Merry Christmas Enty!
ReplyDeleteI do believe he was guessed almost right away. Not my favorite actor, but this is a very very kind and generous thing for him to have done.
ReplyDeleteWow. Did he have a rough life that made him become so generous? This is really incredible.
ReplyDeleteTotally love him.
ReplyDeleteWe knew it! He is also very active in getting modified homes built for disabled vets and has been here to Fort Hood several times.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good, decent man.
ReplyDeleteLove this. Rock on Major Dan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Enty! Nice to know that not everyone in Hollywood is a narcissistic, souless dick.
ReplyDeleteHave loved Gary Sinise since the stand. This just makes me swoon more. :)
ReplyDeleteAlways loved him. He's on my List.
ReplyDeleteHappiest and Merriest ChanuSolstiChristmaKwanzFestivus to one and all!
ReplyDeleteWith a special bacon wrapped one to Enty with a tequila chaser.
And to everyone:
Thank you for all you do, whoever or whatever you are. This community wouldn't exist without you.
Happy post Apocalypse

Nice to see his kindness goes back years. :)
ReplyDeleteGary Senise was the answer to another Kindness reveal in either July or the January before (I think it was about playing in a charity event despite injuries or SOMETHING to that effect)
ReplyDeleteThanks... I thought I was going crazy having heard this exact blind before. You're on about the prior kindness reveal... Sinister is just amazing!!
DeleteStupid autocorrect. Sinister = Sinise
DeleteAwesome. Just awesome, Lt. Dan!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a classy guy. Doing these things quietly without a lot of fanfare. He does lots of things for the military boys, he truly has a good heart.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, or your holiday greeting of choice to all of you. I agree with Merlin, this place is wonderful to come to, only because of all of you.
Enty, thanks for giving us a place to meet and laugh and ponder.
How does that work, I wonder? Just set up the rerouting of the money like any other direct deposit from your paycheck?
ReplyDeleteThis makes me like him all the more. It's one thing to just hand out checks to charities but it's another to really get involved. There was another blind that was revealed to be him. He helped a vet outfit his house with ramps & other things.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that some people really put their money where their mouth is & actually help out those less fortunate than themselves. Especially when they don't do it for the publicity.
I knew it! He was robbed of the Oscar for Forrest Gump. Great actor, great human being. If he wasn't Republican, he'd be perfect!!
ReplyDeleteYes! I luv me some Gary! I just wish more of Hollyweird did the same.
ReplyDeleteI wish more people who had the means to do this, did it.
ReplyDeleteProbably the most consistently nice, good person you write about Enty. Always refreshing to see a Gary Sinise post.
ReplyDeleteI love kind people. This brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteHe's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis dude is A++ in my book all the way! And he does it all without PRing it e'erywhere!
ReplyDeleteThanks Enty! I needed a kindness today!
I work for the USO, and I have personally met him several times. He is truly one of the most genuine and giving men out there.
ReplyDeleteOY! I finally found the Kindness Reveal for Gary :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2012/07/blind-items-revealed_4523.html
Yay! This is a good kindness reveal.
ReplyDeleteLove having a kindness reveal. It restores my faith in humanity to know that he is so generous. Sometimes people know when they have enough and sharing feels better than buying a brand new toy for themselves.
ReplyDeleteLoved him in 'mission to mars'.
ReplyDeleteevery once in awhile one Hollywood player turns out not to be an asshole
ReplyDeleteI love him!
ReplyDeleteA cherished member of my family is a Wounded Warrior spokesperson and Sinise is one of the (very) few actors he respects.
Gary is someone who certainly puts his money where his mouth (and heart) is.
Wonderful man.
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome that he does that. BUT why wait so long to reveal a truly nice, generous person?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to do. Always liked the man, little bit in love with him now.
ReplyDelete<3
ReplyDeleteHe is just amazing.
Oh, yes. Much love and good wishes for Gary Sinise. It's nice to hear about a good guy!
ReplyDeleteGary Sinise is one of the few Republicans I truly like. He should be sainted.
ReplyDeleteGod bless him.
ReplyDeleteAw! Lieutenant Dan!!!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is really a class act and a great actor
ReplyDeleteGotta luv a Mid-western guy!!
ReplyDeleteLove Gary Sinise. What a lovely chap.
ReplyDeleteGary Sinise is awesome, and he's easy on the eyes, too; his wife is a lucky woman!
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to the CDaN family. Love you all! <3
Wonderful person. If everyone who could do this, did this once in a while there would be less want in the world.
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt the kindness of what he does for veterans, but he is not a nice person if he doesn't feel like you deserve it. He reneged on playing a vets benefit because they wouldn't pay his band enough, when he had already agreed to play. He also treated my husband like crap when he was a guest on the show my husband used to produce. As in wouldn't even respond when spoken to on the phone and then just hung up without a word because he wouldn't wait for the host.
ReplyDeleteYay, Lt. Dan! Nice to have a good thing revealed about an actor. I love him on CSI New York. I do get his and Gary Okdman's names confused until I look at their faces, or think of their movies/TV shows. A couple of actors I do that to.
ReplyDeleteKloie, since all the money Gary makes with the band is given to veterans benefits, that doesn't make any sense. That's how he funds many of his projects. There has to be a much bigger story.
ReplyDeleteAs for his treatment of your husband, we don't know Gary's side of the story. I may have avoided him, too.
Lieutenant Dayan, you're an Angel. He just went up to A List in my book. I hope he gets lots more offers for big roles and higher pay checks, for him and the good work he does, plus he's so talented, the world needs more people like this. What an inspirational reveal, good job Enty.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was the producer. All he had to do was say hello and connect him to the host. I'd think a little common courtesy would be in order when someone says "hi, how are you, please hold for XX."
ReplyDelete@Kloie
ReplyDeleteWell, it certainly sounds as if there are two sides to him....
My dad went to school w him and he took my aunt to prom. They have had nothing but nice things to say about him.
