One of the beloved stars of the 90s has recently opened up about his decision to step away from the Hollywood spotlight. Gary Sinise, a talented actor, director, producer, and musician, has had a successful career, earning prestigious awards such as Emmys, Golden Globes, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His journey in the entertainment industry began on stage in the 80s and he later rose to fame for his role as George Milton in the 1992 film adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. Gary also graced the screen in iconic movies like Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and The Green Mile, and made appearances in popular TV shows like CSI: NY and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
However, in 2019, Gary made the difficult decision to put his career on hold. He moved from Los Angeles to Nashville to take care of his wife, Moira Harris, and his son, McCanna, who were both diagnosed with cancer. Their battle with this disease was a challenging and emotional time for Gary and his family. On top of that, Gary's father had just suffered a stroke and his mother needed his support as well. He knew he had to prioritize his family and put his acting career on the backburner.
Although Moira is now in remission and cancer-free, their son tragically passed away at the age of 33 in January of this year. Gary spoke about their devastating loss, sharing that his son had been fighting this rare cancer for nearly six years. Finding treatments and doctors was a full-time job and it became increasingly difficult as time went on. Despite the heartache of losing their beloved child, Gary and Moira found solace in knowing that he was no longer suffering.
Gary's last on-screen appearances were in 2020, playing Dr. Robert Ellman on the Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why and Sheriff Westin in the movie Joe Bell. He admitted that it was a tough decision to step away from the industry, but it was necessary for him to be there for his family during this difficult time. On January 5, Gary announced his son's passing, expressing the heartbreak and pain they were going through as a family. He also extended his sympathies to anyone who has experienced a similar loss.
Despite the challenges and heartache, Gary remains grateful for the time he had with his son and the memories they shared. He cherishes the moments he was able to spend with his family, and although he misses his son dearly, he is comforted by the thought that he is no longer suffering. Gary's story serves as a reminder that family always comes first, and sometimes, we have to make difficult decisions to be there for our loved ones.
