  • I think Tom had played for what is probably the greatest role an actor can ever play!!!

  • And THAT is why I love Gary Sinise.

  • Gary is so good. Why isn't he a leading man or a leading character actor?

  • @juffan I agree, he's great. However, he is the lead in CSI NY.

  • Hanks seems like he's exceptionally down-to-earth, particularly for someone who has had such accolades bestowed upon him

  • Gary Sinese is never out of character. The insanely evil villain you have no idea when he'll strike.

  • Gary Sinise is wonderful, I want to meet him. We share the same Birthday. He has done so much, for so many people all over the world xxx

  • Gary is awesome

  • LIEUTENANT DAAYUN!

  • Forrest Gump is one of the best movies of the century

  • Gary was great in "A Midnight Clear". Would have been interesting to see him with Hanks in SPR. Cheers to them both.

  • Sinise is so right. Spot on. Tom Hanks is my very favourite actor. Forrest Gump is my favourite film.

  • Lieutenant Dan!!!!!!! :)

  • Lt. Dan got his legs!

  • The way he speaks is like the movie still continues in the theater...=)

  • lieutenant dan's got legs? 

  • Ah Gary Sinese, such a humble guy. Right up there with Hanks.^^

  • mac taylor meets forrest gump

    i love these guys

  • Why has Tom Hanks not been on CSI yet!!!

  • There's this feather, there's some chocolates, there's Vietnam, Tom moons President Johnson, there's Bubba, Mama, and Jenny, and I lose my legs, he runs a lot, ping pong, a hurricane.... shrimp?

  • Seriously, these ads are ruining youtube.

  • @Ridoli

    You're an idiot. Please, shut up. 

  • @dudejohnny

    Really? Do you have an ad on youtube or something? Get pissed off too many times because people keep pushing the "X" to close it instead of opening up your pathetic link to some other website?

  • @Ridoli

    If youtube didn't have ads, youtube wouldn't exist. You don't need a fucking degree to figure that out.

  • Awww :) Very nice and heartfelt tribute from Gary to Tom.

  • that came from deep deep of his heart <3

  • @HanBOHobbit fuckoff

  • I went to see FORREST GUMP because I liked Tom Hanks so much. I walked out of the movie totally in love with Gary Sinise. 'Apollo 13' just made it stronger. I've been in love with him ever since. What an amazing American,and generous man, he is!

  • "i lose my leg, he runs alot"

    X"D

    this is so EPIC

  • I took me half an hour of racking my brains to remember what the third film they were in together was. I had Gump and the Green Mile and I couldn't think - but it just came to me! They were in Apollo 13 together, too! :D

  • sidney portier is the only african american to get this award? why not denzel or sam jackson or many more

    maybe there is to many racist fuckers in the afi

  • @MultiPlayaaa Morgan Freeman got it this year. Stop freaking out.

  • "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get."

  • i love how gary sinese looks exactly the same today. xD he's awesome.

  • "gonna try out my sea legs."...but lieutenant Dan, you aint got no legs" x What quotes, what a fantastic movie and cast x

  • Gary perfect ♥ i love you ^^

  • Tom Hanks is my favorite actor and overall film man in general. He is awesome!

  • Too bad a man with Gary's class has to work with the far-left radicals in Hollyweird.

  • Gary is a conservative, those Hollyweird libs will never give him the type of accolades that he deserves.

  • LT.DAN i got u some ice cream

  • If any actor ever deserved an award and didn't get one its fuckin Gary! Especially with all these undeserved hack-jobs that have been awarded in the past. Gary has more talent in his pinkies than Tom Cruise or the depressing Jake Gylenhall.

  • I GOTTA FIND BUBBA-AH!!!!

  • Gary Sinise should have got an Oscar for his part in Forrest Gump

    Forrest Gump won't be as great without Tom Hanks

    it also won't be as great without Gary Sinise

  • I think Gary Sinise looks like Michael Keaton. Mistook Lieutenant Dan to be played by Michael Keaton. :p

  • Will you Marry me Jenny?

  • More Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise collaborations.

  • But Lieutenant Dan ... You ain't got no legs. XD

  • Doesn't Gary Sinise sound like Gene Wilder?

  • i thought it was LT dam lol when i was young

  • @THatswhyyousuck78 lol i thought it was LT dang

  • LOL gary sinise was fuckin awesome 'RAMSOM' LOL.. gr8t villian character.. and i love forest gump! :)

  • @scyllaandcharybdis,

    Gary was amazing in ransom.

  • MAn, everytime i see him i have to think abut MAc Taylor from CSI... >.<'

  • Sinise shouldn't give ALL the credit to Tom Hanks... his performance as Lt. Dan and the chemistry these two had in Forrest Gump is part of the reason why it's a masterpiece.

  • GIMME BACK MAH SON!!!

  • he has legs!? its a miracle!

  • I admire Gary Sinese. He seems like a nice guy

  • but yoo aint gotz no laygz loootenant Daayn!

  • Forrest: Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?

    Lieutenant Dan: I'm here to try out my sea legs.

    Forrest: But you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan!

    Lieutenant Dan: Yes, yes, I know that. You wrote me a letter, you idiot!

  • Jack Nicholson's laugh at 0:58

  • Tom Hanks himself is a reason for us humans to live. He is truly the best man. Mau he live forever.

  • He was cute

  • Great actors!

  • a lot of my commenters on my videos think i am like LT. Dan, not joking !

  • Gary Sinise is so nice! I met him when his band came to play for the troops. I got to go on stage and dance with him playing base right beside me. When the song ended he stood at the end of the stage and shook all of our hands as we were going down. I reached out and hugged him and thanked him for coming to play. He smiled really big at me and said "You're welcome sweetheart." Best moment ever.

  • @armywife012205 i'm jealous, i want him to call me "sweetheart"!

  • @armywife012205 Fucking beautiful man

  • @armywife012205 Ok i am so sorry i screwed up sweetheart and what force do you serve in i am in the 1st batt 3rd Marines

  • @stratagie1 I'm just a spouse....My husband is in the Army. 

  • @armywife012205 oh ok i get the name now

  • I love Gary!!

  • tom hanks is the best 

  • Why is it that at the AFI the actors always talk to Tom Hanks

    Gary Sinise

    Michael Clarke Duncan

    Jim Lovell

    Helen Hunt

    Eugene Levy

    Meg Ryan

    I haven't seen any one else than Tom Hanks.

  • @FienStudios because this was an AFI Life Achievement Award that they were presenting to Tom Hanks. Why would they be addressing anyone else?

  • I'm crying!

  • 2 fucking amazing actors

  • @ImGoingToBeAnMD philadelphia.

  • I was expecting him to come out and say in his Lieutenant Dan mannerism, "They gave you the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award....THEY GAVE YOU the AFI LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD!!!!!"

  • Lewtainant Dayun yew gawt laigs! :O

  • no advertisements for me... im from europe SUCK IT BITCHEEEEZ!!!!

  • Lieutenant Dan ice creammmmmmmm

  • Youtube is worse than ever. Advertising that we are required to attend (to start the video, not just on Youtube ...), we can not avoid the ads, which is against our rights, not only of speech but also of hearing. Now we are compelled to donate... After all, what does it matter? Yes, why there's youtube? It seems to me that the space that was reserved for the sharing of interesting things, is to become a place of boredom. Every video you see, another advertisement... Anyway, boring.

  • lieutenant Daaaan

  • Gary is so sweet!!!!

  • hey lt dan u got legs

  • its LT dan

  • more like gary sneeze...

  • Lieutenant Dan FTW

  • But you aint got no legs Lieutenant Dan...

  • Lieutenant Dan rocks! Literally, he plays regularly on a band with the same name. What a cool guy. And he is a vet supporter, and that makes him more special!

  • Loooootenent dayannn

  • I don't know if i am going crazy... But I am so in love with Gary sinise.. Ever since I saw him in the movie "Of Mice and Men"

  • @DevinABrooks

    You're not crazy...I used to have a crush on Gary back in the day too.

  • @slednecks17 Sad is'nt it?

  • Lieutenant Dan!! Ice cream!!!

  • @MrBrianBusy I'm crazy for ice cream. My favorite dessert! I wouldn't care not having legs if I could get all the ice cream I can eat!

  • @MrBrianBusy LMAO!

  • Hightest rated comment 83 thumbsup? That is stuipest thing I have ever read....

  • @janmadytay your comment has only promoted more thumbs up for it

  • give me a fucking break,

  • I remember reading a Glamour magazine in the 90s ask: Do women prefer a Tom Hanks or a Tom Cruise? I picked Tom Hanks back then and I still stand by that. Tom Hanks seems down to earth, funny, and someone you'd want to grow old with... and he's been married to his wife for over 20 yrs now.

  • I think tom hanks' performance in Big (1988) was better than forrest gump although i loved both movies

  • LIEUTENANT DAN!!! 

  • Doh, he looks so cute in his little bow tie!

  • I was almost moved to tears by this speech, that was great :)

  • Shrimp!!!

  • God! I ADORE Forrest Gump! I watch it all the way through every single time it's on TV. I LOVED Gary & Tom's interactions as Forrest & Lt. Dan! They were so genuine and sweet!

  • I think in this day and age, Tom Hanks & Gary Sinise are just 2 of the very few actors alive today that embody the sense of respect and admiration the actors of the mid 20th century had.

    Cary Grant, James Dean, Steve McQueen, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood....you hardly find any actor or actress alive today who was just as respectable as those I've just listed. Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise are 2 exceptions. Anyone have any others?

  • Best Speech at this AFI

  • He has never been as good as he has ever been in "of Mice and Men"

  • a great actor paying tribute to another great actor.

  • @ImGoingToBeAnMD Apollo 13 was the 3rd...

  • perfect summary of Forrest Gump!

  • I love this video!

    Make more of it please!

    -James

  • I love this video!

    Make more of it please!

    -James

  • haha looks like fun

  • Lieutenant Dan!!!!

  • gary the best

  • Gary is the reason why I watch CSI:NY every Wednesday night.

  • aww whaat a lovely speech

  • @samosa2003 There's talk of getting Gary to run for President in 2012. Wonder about that.

  • @knoxvilleguy2 oooo that would be perfect hes amazing

  • @samosa2003 - I don't know if he's going to actually consider running, but some people have told Gary to seriously consider the 2012 election. " Sinise / Hanks in '12 " ? Hmmm......

  • @knoxvilleguy2 hmm interesting, we'll have to keep our ears peeled

  • @samosa2003

    Yeah. I think there's been a trend in getting / trying to get Hollywood people to run for office for quite a while. Hey, it started w / REAGAN.

  • @knoxvilleguy2 there does seem to be alot of them going for office lately.

  • @samosa2003

    Like I said, it's gone on since Ronnie R.

  • Gary reminds me so much of DeForest Kelley

  • I agree with Jeremy irons, American actors are over rated, as Jeremy put it they are great at dialogue delivery but bad at "acting". However hanks is an exception to a certain extant.

  • waht is the music they play when gary walks onto the stage??

  • @fkhang9223

    definitely from the forrest gump soundtrack.

  • 0:38 "... and i lose my legs and he runs a lot..." lol, oh that Gary Sinise :)

  • the one person that didn't like this video obviously doesn't know what pure awesomeness is

  • i love both gary and tom and they are one of the best acting duos of all time...they are pretty much my favorite acting duo, second only to the Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick duo. Plus, gary sinise looks sooooo amazingly hot here...not that he isnt always but there is something about him in a tux that is just....wow.

  • Both of them are Just fantastic. Tom Hanks is my favorite actor of all time

  • @ILWPOYT Yeah same here. I am watching Forrest Gump again. I think I watch it everytime it is on.

  • I love Gary's voice!

  • both great actors.

  • He is one of my favorite actors, he is just great actor no words to describe

  • you can tell mr.sinise really respects tom..

  • Gary Sinise is so awesome <3

  • i love dat actor, hes so underrated

  • Tom Hanks seems to be one of the few Hollywood actors who's managed to remain humble.

  • @Tehui1974 That is why he's my favorite actor.

  • and apollo 13 too

  • i got no legs!!!!

  • It's a shame people are complaining about the political views of both actors-Personally i'm very left wing and don't agree with a lot of Sinise's views but he's one helluva actor-they both are-there are always gonna be Left wing people and right wing people so just enjoy the acting!!!! stop complaining about who's what!

  • R.I.P. Tom

  • my favorite acter CSI:NY YAAAY

  • For all the assholes down there:Gary Sinise is a good,honest man who loves his family,and he is giving the best of him to make the world a better place!!I'm really not interested in politics,that's something totally different,everybody has a wright to choose what they want to be.And nobody can judge that wright!

  • Gary Sinese is my hero

  • But... which one is having their ass kissed by the other at this event?
