so long for such a brilliant talent make it. "I didn't try (again) for a long time." Sinise said, explaining that in the '80s he preferred his busy life as the star and artistic director of Steppenwolf. Even after Steppenwolf alumni John Malkovich, Joan Allen and John Mahoney made the leap successfully, Sinise stayed put. "An acting career is like building a theater company." said Sinise. "It takes effort and concentration.
You don't wake up one day and you have one. You've got to deal with the rejection and all the banging on When Sinise left Hollywood after his first attempt it was in chastened embarrassment. He auditioned for the role: won by Tim Hutton in Robert Redford's "Ordinary People." When nobody called him back, Sinise went to the casting director's office and refused to leave until he saw Redford. "I thought he'd see me and think I was nuts enough to play the part. Eventually I lost my nerve and left without seeing The second time around, Sinise arrived with an even more imposing stage resume and an acclaimed movie, In 1992 he directed and starred in a new version of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" with Malkovich.

"I think a key moment for me was watching an early screening of With which was Kevin Costner's first time as a he said. "I was knocked out by his achievement and I said to myself I have go find my own project and do it. I'll do what he's doing and get off my It makes all the difference when you can point to a tangible piece of work that you produced, directed and starred in." "Of Mice and Men" led to "Forrest Gump" (1994), where computer wizardry turned Sinise into a double amputee, and key supporting roles as Ken Mattingly, the grounded astronaut in "Apollo 13" (1995) and Jimmy Shaker, leader of the kidnappers in "Ransom" (1996). But it was Sinise's inspired readings of Truman and Wallace that had reviewers reaching for superlatives.
Sinise said that with the crippling economics and formulaic ideas that prevail in Hollywood, lovers of great acting should pay more attention to what is on cable. That is where many movies that can't make it to the big screen find a congenial home. "Cable is one of the great forums for actors today, and I think it's been that way for a few years now. That's where you can do much more adventurous material. That's where Dennis Quaid and Anjelica Huston got their chance to direct.
You wouldn't have been able to get a studio to back 'Truman" or 'George But you take a role like George Wallace 20 years of a man's life and tragedy. Compare it to the roles that were up for the Oscars last year. It's a much bigger challenge."
