In an exclusive interview at the festival, Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump, Truman, George Wallace) talks about his program for Iraqi children and what it's like to be pigeon-holed in Hollywood.

Gary Sinise has to be one of the swellest guys around, and this video points out why.

But why on earth are you using Quicktime? Can't you use some standard thing like Windows Media? I could only hear the video, not see it. I didn't feel like trying yet another "upgrade" of Quicktime so that they can yet again install endless and often self-starting crap on my machine. And when the Quicktime version that I do have didn't have the necessary components, it reported that it couldn't find them on the Quicktime server either. Please switch to something a less user-inimical.

Windows Media isn't standard; it's just what Windows uses. How about Ogg Theora?

Great interview. Love Gary. I can see why he doesn't want to be pigeon-holed, though I do wish more conservative actors would be willing to "come out" as such. My guess is that he is conservative, but just doesn't want his philanthropic efforts painted that way. Otherwise he would have flatly denied being conservative. Anyway, I'm probably not helping him with this.

On the technical side, Quicktime is a much better cross-platform solution than Windows Media (less buggy & higher quality, too). These days, though, Flash video seems like the best of all possible worlds.

Hi there, is there any possibility that you can post a link to a transcript? I got the same message as the previous poster, and I'm using an i-Book! LOL

I love Gary Sinise and would really like to see/hear what he has to say.

Thank you.
