The Emmy Award winning actor, now 69, looked very different to how he appeared when he played Lieutenant Dan in the iconic Tom Hanks movie Forrest Gump 30 years ago. Gary looked every inch the silver fox with his short neatly trimmed grey hair.
He also rocked a casual look and has shaved off his once prominent facial fuzz. However, he still sported the same trademark grin he wore in the iconic 1994 Oscar winning movie. Gary told hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies about how he established a charity which supports disabled veterans after playing Dan, a character who loses his legs in the Vietnam War.
'I support our disabled veterans because of course Lieutentant Dan is one. The Gary Sinise Foundation is a non-profit which builds homes for our wounded and takes care of their children,' he explained.
