Gary Sinise

Tom was doing all these scenes with everybody else.

I didn't know what they were doing.

So I didn't know what the movie was going to turn out like until I saw it.

Yeah, no, you have the whole script.

We're wheeling around like shrimp.

No, I read the whole script.

I like to know what the story is.

That's good.

But the nature of the Lieutenant Dan story is just these little moments.

He's in Vietnam, and then he's in the hospital in Vietnam, and then he's gone.

You see him in New York, and then you see him on the shrimp boat, and then it's just these little segments.

I mean, the story just—

What I like about that story is the way it ends up for our veterans, right?

I have a lot of Vietnam veterans in my family.

I remember what that was like.

I've met so many wounded folks over the years.

And we want that story to be the story of success that our wounded have, right?

They're able to move on from life.

It's a happy ending.

And we haven't really seen the story of a Vietnam veteran have a happy ending in a movie up until that point.
