One thing that any fan of CSI: NY star Gary Sinise knows is that he is very committed to support for the US troops. He and his band, The Lt. Dan Band, named for his charactr in the movie Forrest Gump, regularly go to play for the troops all over the world.

He was even awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal in December by President Bush for his work supporting American soldiers.

He has produced and narrated documentaries about patriotism and is now working on a new documentary about the band.

Here’s how IMDb has the documentary listed:

Lt. Dan Band - The story of a man and his band and the Patriots they meet along the way.

The program is listed as being narrated by Gary’s good friend Jon Voigt and should be a terrific program to see, once it’s ready. I’ll keep you informed about its progress here. (You might also want to go see the movie poster for the project on IMDb. I don’t have permission to post it, but it’s a very cool poster.)

CSI: NY star Gary Sinise is well known in his efforts to support the U.S. troops abroad. And one of the organizations that is also very active in support of the troops is the USO. So it should come as no surprise to his fans that Gary attended a recent USO cocktail party and reception and answered questions from the attendees in a Q&A session.

The event was hosted by Hollywood Reporter and Editor Elizabeth Guider at Morton’s Steak House in Beverly Hills. I admire Gary Sinise for his efforts and congratulate him on the opportunity to help a very worthy cause.

Episode 5.20 - Prey
Air Date: April 8, 2009

Here’s another clip that’s “hot off the presses”, so to speak. It was just uploaded by CBS and shows another clip from tomorrow’s episode of CSI: NY.

In it, we see guest star Catherine McPhee performing live on stage at the “Lemon Drop Room.” Mac Taylor, aka Gary Sinise walks in as she’s performing and stands to listen. Wow! She really can sing! It looks like it’s going to be another good episode!

Yesterday, the birthday boy, Gary Sinise was a guest on The View. He talked about CSI: NY a bit and then went on to describe his new project, a documentary called Brothers at War. It’s a very interesting sounding documentary about a man whose brothers signed up to go to war and he went with them in order to try to understand what they were going through and why they did it. We all know that Gary has been given awards for all of his work to suppoort the troops. What a cool guy!

Here’s a clip of his appearance on The View:

I hope you’ll join with me in sending very happy birthday wishes to Gary Sinise who plays Mac Taylor on CSI: NY. Today is his 54th birthday.

And finally, here are a bunch of good photos of Gary Sinise on the set for CSI: NY. He doesn’t get photographed out and about as much as some of the other stars of the show, so I like that we have some photos of him at least working. He’s such a busy guy!

Of course, these photos of Melina Kanakaredes and Gary Sinise are interesting too. Here they are on the New York City street set of CSI: NY and they must have filmed a couple of different scenes that day because Melina changed coats. (I think I prefer her in the black one, but hey, she would look fabulous wearing a burlap sack!)

I found some really cool photos of the cast members for CSI: NY on set. This one has Gary Sinise and Carmine Giovinazzo walking across the set on a New York City street. I think it’s fun to see the actors on-set and behind the scenes.

Here are a bunch of photos of Gary Sinise with CSI: NY guest star Scott Wolf on the New York City street set for the show. We get to see the cameras and equipment that goes into the filming of a location scene for the show and it looks like they talk a lot about what’s going on in the show. Very cool photos!

On November 1, the cast of CSI: NY held a party at the Edison Hotel to celebrate their 100th episode. They all looked like they had a great time and there’s even a photo of Anna Belknap showing her baby bump!
