Gary Sinise, an Oscar-nominated actor, has discussed why he decided to leave Hollywood. He has described a very personal story of family care and loss. In a recent interview, the 69-year-old star talked about how he had to stop playing in 2019 because of health problems in his family.

Sinise’s wife Moira Harris and son Mac were both diagnosed with cancer within a few months of each other. This would have a huge impact on their family’s life. Harris was told she had breast cancer in stage 3, and Mac was told she had chordoma, a rare and aggressive spine cancer.

Sinise told Fox News, “At that time, we were fighting cancer.” His father’s stroke and his mother’s need for care made it impossible for him to continue his job in Hollywood. “Traveling away from the family for long periods wasn’t possible with what we were going through,...

Gary Sinise is opening up about his decision to step away from Hollywood to care for his wife and late son during their cancer battles.

The CSI: NY actor recently told Fox News that he paused his acting career in 2019 and moved to Nashville in 2021 to be with his son, McCanna Anthony Sinise, who died in January from a rare spinal cancer called Chordoma, and his wife, Moira Harris, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“We were in the cancer fight during that time,” Sinise said. “My wife had been diagnosed with breast cancer. My son was diagnosed with this very rare cancer within two months of each other. My dad had just had a stroke, and my mom was alone, and I had to take care of her. I kind of had my hands full.”

Sinise said Harris has since gone into remission and is now cancer-free, but...

Mac Sinise, the son of Forrest Gump actor Gary Sinise, has died at 33.

A tribute revealed that McCanna Anthony “Mac” Sinise was diagnosed with “a very rare” form of cancer called Chordoma.

Mac was diagnosed in 2018 and passed away earlier this winter.

His diagnosis came just two months after Moira Sinise (Gary’s wife) was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.

Moira went through chemotherapy and radiation and has been in remission and cancer-free since then.

Mac had surgery to remove a tumor a month after his diagnosis, but after further treatment, the cancer returned and spread.

Like any family experiencing such a loss, we are heartbroken and have been managing as best we can…I am so blessed, fortunate, and proud to be his dad.”

Mac Sinise was diagnosed with Chordoma in August 2018, just two months after Gary Sinise’s wife Moira was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. “What was happening?...

If you think Terrence Mallick makes films infrequently, consider the career of Robin Hardy, who gained acclaim for his direction of the 1973 British horror classic The Wicker Man. In the ensuing decades, Hardy has been associated with precisely three other feature films, all little-seen: as writer of Forbidden Sun (1989), The Wicker Tree (2011, as writer and director) and the 1986 film The Fantasist, which he also wrote and directed. The latter film suffered from a botched release and poor reviews, with the verdict being that Hardy's much-anticipated return to filmmaking was a letdown. Scorpion Releasing has issued The Fantasist on DVD and the movie deserves to be re-evaluated with the passage of time. 

The film is set in Ireland and Hardy makes excellent use of both urban and rural locations. Moira Harris (sometimes billed as Moira Sinise nowadays due to her marriage to actor Gary Sinise), an actress who is American by birth,...

Forrest Gump star Gary Sinise has become the latest victim of California's ongoing property slump - he is selling his Calabasas home for less than he paid for it six years ago.

The actor and his wife Moira Harris have placed their five-bedroom property on the market for a little under $1.9 million (£1.2 million) - more than $500,000 (£312,500) less than it was worth to them in 2004.

According to celebrity property website RealEstalker.com, the couple has been trying to sell the gated estate since October 2008, when Sinise and Harris first put the home on the market for $2.2 million (£1.38 million).
