[edit] Tom Hanks

Sinise has been in 3 movies with Hanks. Is there some sort of connection there? H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 01:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

They are both actors. -- Evertype·✆ 22:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Why on earth does this continue to get edited back in? I don't get how or why it's significant and it's not like they're the only two actors to work together on multiple occasions. He's done far more with Malkovich. Thoughts? Travellingcari (talk) 05:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Again, what's with Hanks. He's worked on more with Malkovich. I don't want to get in an edit war so I'm leaving it but this is getting somewhat ridiculous. There's no significance to working on several projects with Hanks any more than anyone else. Travellingcari (talk) 04:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ancestor's medical procedure??

Etymology is interesting, but I think the name 'Sinise' does not need to be explained in so much detail here. This article is about an American actor, not his ancient ancestor's odd surgical procedure. Corvokarasu 19:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it (is it relevant to his "early life"?), and there's no evidence that it was true, anyway. Dekimasuよ! 10:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Clean up -- I pulled out a lot of the unsourceable stuff (reported to be friends with Steinbeck) and the why stuff. Filmography looks complete but I don't know details so I left it be. Pulled the band box since the band now has its own entry and there was a lot of repetition. I'd like to find more sources but haven't turned up a lot. I do think the article is much improved Travellingcari (talk) 20:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Revisited, cleaned up some more items. Attempting again to keep out the extraneous Hanks information which isn't notable. The appearances now "include" because otherwise it repeats the filmography. Travellingcari (talk) 04:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How is his surname pronounced

Phonetic spelling of his name would be appreciated (only ever seen it in print, never actually heard it said). Thanks Martyn Smith (talk) 20:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Sin--ees (long e as in the american "ea" in easy. Sorry I don't do IPA. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 21:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
