Gary Sinise

In 2004, he began his first regular television series, in CSI: New York. He and actress Angelina Jolie famously wore vials of each others' blood around their necks while married to each other. He has been married to actress Moira Harris since 1981 and they have three children together. Among these is a phobia for antique furniture (something shared by the Dwight Yoakam character in the Thornton-penned Sling Blade). Sinise has also appeared in Apollo 13, Ransom, The Green Mile, Reindeer Games, Mission to Mars, and The Stand. Thornton is known for various idiosyncratic behaviors, well-documented in interviews with the actor. He won a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for his role in Truman. Thornton has also begun an ancillary career as a recording artist, in a rock & roll style known as "Americana." He has released two CD's: Private Rodeo and The Edge of the World.

He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1994 for his role as Lieutenant Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump. Even his role as the legendary Davy Crockett in 2004's The Alamo made an effort to demythologize the character and bring out his human foibles. Gary Sinise (born March 17, 1955) is an American actor and director who has appeared in a number of movies. His southern, small-town persona has led him to be cast in a number of down-to-earth, "regular guy" parts. Thornton is a rare celebrity in that he has A-list status, but plays both leading-man roles and character roles. Sling Blade garnered international acclaim, won Thornton an Academy Award for his screenplay (as well as a nomination for his performance), and made him a star.

It is the story of Karl Childers, a mentally disadvantaged man. In 1996, he wrote, directed, and starred in an independent film titled Sling Blade, an expansion of a short film titled Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade. He also had small roles in films like Indecent Proposal, On Deadly Ground, and Tombstone. His role as the villain in One False Move brought him to the attention of critics.

He first came to semi-prominence as a cast member on the NBC sitcom Hearts Afire with John Ritter and Markie Post. He has married five times and his most recent ex-wife is actress Angelina Jolie.
