I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.
From Gary Sinise
I've directed enough in the theatre and a couple of films to know that - to feel fairly secure that if I find a story that I really like I can probably get it done somewhat.
I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.
Yeah, I volunteered to support the troops, and get out there and show them that we care about them.
I started a theater called Steppenwolf. We've been very supportive of the veterans there.
Wherever I go for the military, they always call me Lt. Dan. They just can't help it.
I study to learn, to be an educated person.
There's always the ongoing actor frustration of finding the great role to do next. I don't go to work a lot. I wait as long as I can until the money runs out or a great part comes along.
I have veterans in my family. But I didn't know anything about DAV, Disabled American Veterans.
I have a band that I started with a buddy of mine, a Vietnam veteran pal named Kimo Williams from Chicago.
