Gary Sinise will be where most people now expect him to be on Memorial Day weekend.

Dan in the Oscar-winning 1994 movie "Forrest Gump" among his most famous roles, the "CSI: NY" star rejoins longtime friend and fellow CBS personality Joe Mantegna ("Criminal Minds") in Washington, D.C., to host PBS' telecast of the National Memorial Day Concert for the seventh consecutive year Sunday (May 27).

"Every year, they have it so well-organized," Sinise tells Zap2it. "Joe and I know our place, and we've been through the staging and the various aspects of it, so we just fall into it and it all comes together in the end."

Among other performers slated to appear in the event on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol: Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn; Vietnam War veteran and four-time Emmy winner Dennis Franz, in his first major television appearance since "NYPD Blue »

CBS Cancels 'CSI: Miami,' 'Rob' & 'NYC 22,' Renews 'CSI:ny'

13 May 2012 11:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

It's the end of 10 seasons of investigations, pun-filled taglines and best supporting sunglasses on "CSI: Miami" -- CBS has canceled the long-running series.

Star Eva Larue visited "Live with Kelly" last month to lament the fact that the show didn't get a proper send-off, if that was to be their series finale, after their episode order was cut to 19 to make room for Robert De Niro's rookie cop drama "NYC 22."

"It's not fair, we didn't get to tie it up right," Larue said. "After 10 seasons, we ended in a bar. That doesn't seem right."

But there you have it -- "CSI: Miami," ending in a bar. CBS sent out this quote with the official announcement:

“'CSI: Miami' leaves an amazing television legacy -– a signature look and style, global popularity and as a key player in CBS’s rise to the top over the past decade. »

CSI: NY's Gary Sinise: Mac Has Found Something Very Positive In His Life

11 May 2012 11:45 AM, PDT | TVGuide.com - Features | See recent TVGuide - Features news »

For Gary Sinise, Friday's CSI: NY finale may feel a bit like art imitating life.

In April, Sinise was involved in a car accident in Washington, D.C. Although Sinise was just a passenger, he sustained several injuries when his car was hit from behind."I had a pretty severe concussion — [some] badly torn up muscles in my neck," Sinise tells TVGuide.com. "I don't remember the accident. I woke up in the ER. Although I'm told I was speaking, I didn't know where I was. We apparently drove for 10 minutes, but all I remember is getting into the car and pulling away from the curb."

Gary Sinise: CSI: NY's Uncertain Fate Led to 'A Lot of Emotion' In 'Very Reflective' Finale

11 May 2012 11:11 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

Tonight at 9/8c, CBS’ CSI: NY presents its season finale, in which a shooting leaves Mac hovering between life and death, precipitating a visit from his late wife, Claire. Meanwhile, the crime drama itself finds itself hoping to cheat death by earning the Season 9 renewal that thus far has eluded it. TVLine spoke with series lead Gary Sinise about the “very reflective” hour, why the show’s uncertain fate made it extra-emotional, and his latest turn as cohost of PBS’ Memorial Day weekend concert special.

'CSI: NY' season finale: Gary Sinise realizes it 'might be the end'

11 May 2012 10:49 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Gary Sinise knows tonight (Friday, May 11) could end a long chapter of his career, but he's hoping for a different outcome.

The CBS drama "CSI: NY" wraps its eighth season without a guarantee it'll be back this fall ... and with Sinise's crime-lab-leading Detective Mac Taylor seriously wounded, just as he's found personal happiness again with new girlfriend Christine (Megan Dodds).

"You'll have to tune in to see what happens," the stage and screen actor teases Zap2it while adding, "I'd like to do another season if they want us to. We all enjoy doing the show, and I think the writers still have a lot of good stories left in them."

The decision will be known next week, when CBS stages its 2012-13 upfront presentation for advertisers. "It's a great finale," Sinise promises, "very emotional and very different from some of our other episodes. In the last days of shooting, »

CSI: New York Boss Teases Near-Death Finale, but Is There Life Left for Season Nine Renewal?

11 May 2012 10:05 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Being on the bubble for renewal has some benefits to the CSI: New York crew. Like the ability to take big risks such as shooting their star and leaving him lingering between life and death. In the season eight finale Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) is shot and dying, and takes some time while in limbo to reflect on his life and relationships, with his coworkers and family left reeling after the near-fatal shooting. We talked to executive producer Zach Reiter all about Mac Taylor's emotional limbo in the season finale, what you can expect for fan favorites Danny and Lindsay—and if there's hope for a season nine renewal (the writers have even started working on ideas that fans will love).

DVD Review: Criterion Offers Great Insight Into ‘Being John Malkovich’

9 May 2012 8:52 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Only The Criterion Collection can do a film like “Being John Malkovich” justice. Not only has the film held up remarkably well since its 1999 release (and even somes somewhat ahead of its time given our ability to invade the privacy of celebrity more than ever) but Criterion has assembled a stellar collection of special features that display that unique sense of personality that Spike Jonze’s debut film embodies for its fans.

DVD Rating: 4.5/5.0

One of the highlights of these special features is a half-hour interview with Malkovich conducted by the great John Hodgman. Not only do both men offer fantastic insight into what the film is about and why it still resonates but the great actor drops some incredible history about the film, including the fact that he approached Charlie Kaufman about directing it himself before Jonze was involved but there was a catch — they had to change who it was “about. »
