CSI..Gary Sinise

[Asa Samuel]

Brilliant

LOL! Atoz--appropriate for any picture.

Sinise and Malkovich in "Of Mice and Men" is truly a classic.

Brought to our eyes,that book is a classic too...

 

[funkalicious101]

Wow, I didnt know. Gary Sinise just earned some extra cool points with me.

As if he needs them.

 

[Atoz]

Cool! I just got a lot better and a lot richer.

Here is a youtube clip. Really just a cheezball cover band, but considering they've played literally hundreds of free shows for our troops that makes them a-list in my book. Gary can lay it down just fine, and even takes a nice little break at the 4:50 or so mark.



Beware the intro, it's long, but pretty funny.

Note that Sinise plays while wearing both a wristwatch and a wedding ring. That tells ya he's a manly man, like me!!

And I don't think a cover band is "cheezball". There's nothing wrong with popular music played well. Sinise did a really solid job on that tune.

Cool! I just got a lot better and a lot richer.

And your face looks a little yellower than the rest of you.

Spray on tan.

A couple of years ago there was a storyline where his knowledge of basses and bassists figured into the solution of the crime - the show ends with him playing in a jazz club as his coworkers discover a new side to their colleague.

A Variax?

I guess I won't try to put myself in his shoes.

I saw the The Lt. Dan band last year at HoB in Cleveland. He is a solid bass player. Did some good covers (Stevie Wonder, Motown, Hendrix, etc.). The women in the crowd (g/f included) were DROOLING and SWOONING over him, to the point that I felt very uncomfortable. He does a lot of charity concerts to support our armed forces and other causes, no reason to hate on him.

Bump- He played a song with the roots on the new jimmy fallon late night, was pretty good!

Actor's band brings rock to the troops 11/25/2009
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan -- There was no rock star, just an actor who likes to play the bass guitar.

For a crowd of 400 Marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen and contractors Tuesday, however, Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band, named for the character Sinise played in the movie "Forrest Gump," might as well have been U2.

Class Act. (btw: Story photo shows him with a Variax Bass - outdoors in Afghanistan.)

I guess he plays with some pretty hot players in that band. Dan Gotlieb (Pat Metheny group- Mahavishnu Orchestra) holds down the Drum chair.

Looks like it was this episode.

 

[chicago_mike]

He was in one of those wierd artsy fartsy type groups in the 70's. You know, one of the bands thats named after a character in lord of the rings..theres piccies floating around of him on a fretless jazz.

My friend's dad is a location manager for CSI:NY, so I've had the pleasure of visiting the set a couple of times and I've actually met Gary, along with seeing his band's concert at an end of the season party for everyone that works on the show. He's a pretty chill guy.
