See the interview in its entirety here: IMBd 20th Anniversary Interview with Gary Sinise.

Scott Barry Kaufman at Psychology Today  also recently talked with Gary for his Beautiful Minds blog.  In addition to Operation International Children and The Disabled Veterans’ Life Memorial, Gary shared his thoughts about the creative process including “group creativity,” the idea of natural ”talent” versus teaching ”talent,” and wrestling with lack of self-esteem.  Read the interview in Kaufman’s blog Beautiful Minds: Conversations on Creativity with Gary Sinise.

Gary was recently a guest on “Late Nights with Jim Bohannon” and talked about CSI:NY,  Lt.

Dan Band: For the Common Good, the quality of television programming, and his upcoming USO tour.
