How Playing Lt. Dan in 'Forrest Gump' Shaped Gary Sinise's Life Mission | The High Notes

In this episode of "The High Notes," we sit down with the legendary Gary Sinise, best known for his iconic role as Lieutenant Dan in ’Forrest Gump.’ Gary shares how growing up in a military family and portraying a wounded veteran deeply influenced his commitment to supporting our nation's heroes and led to the creation of the Gary Sinise Foundation.
Through his foundation, Gary tirelessly supports veterans, firefighters, police officers, and their families, offering crucial programs that make a real difference. We also dive into his passion for music, which predates his acting career, and how rediscovering his love for playing bass led to the formation of his band, the Lt. Dan Band. This incredible group travels the globe, entertaining troops and raising funds to support those who serve. Join us as we explore the inspiring journey of a man who has dedicated his life to giving back to those who protect our freedoms.
The High Notes sits down with Country Music icons, up-and-coming artists, stagehands, tour managers, and all the people who make Country Music what it is today while also showcasing the dedication, hard work, and passion that drive their success, sharing the memorable highlights that define their careers.
