Lt. Dan Taylor is a character in the 1994 movie Forrest Gump. Lt. Dan was born into a family proud of their military tradition. A member of the family died in every American war. Lt. Dan was a soldier during the Vietnam era. Most have seen the movie or after reading this may be interested in the Forrest Gump movie.
Next we need to turn to the prime time television show CSI New York. The main character is a hard working, get it done police officer, Lt. Mac Taylor. Mac Taylor is not only an police officer but a former Marine.
The common factor is that both of these characters are played by actor Gary Sinise. Even though his latest character is Mac Taylor-police officer he is mostly know for playing the character Dan Taylor aka Lt. Dan-Vietnam Veteran. The military soldiers today relate with Lt. Dan; they feel a connection with him. Instead of running away from this connection, Gary Sinise has embraced it.
Sinise is an accomplished bass guitar player. He and eleven other musicians formed a band in 2003. The name of this group is Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band. They have been playing for and entertaining the soldiers since their founding. They play at USO shows and even have performed in Iraq and Afghanistan. He does what ever he can to help the soldier and Veterans of the United States Military. The band also performs for the general public.
Whether you remember Sinise as Lt. Dan Taylor or Lt. Mac Taylor he gives his all to whatever he is doing. As for right now, CSI New York is blessed to have such a man filling the shoes of Lt. MAC Taylor.
