Sinise, whose credits include “Forrest Gump”, “Truman”, “George Wallace”, “Apollo 13″ as well as the golf picture- “A Gentleman’s Game”, currently stars in CSI: NY.
The actor also appeared in a previous Cub documentary about former great Ron Santo in “This Old Cub” along with fellow Chicagoans and die-hard Cub fans Bill Murray and William Petersen as they reminisced about the tough 1969 season.
“We Believe” is set to debut in Chicago next week.
Pretty cool the number of loyal Cubs fans there are
Long time futility will test ones loyalties and Cub fans have certainly been tested!
As a Cubs fan since my youth, I look forward to seeing this film.
OK, not going to lie; been a Cubs fan since the logo change in 1968, around the time I feel in love with the Bee Gees’ bass player Maurice Gibb. I was 6. I knew very little about the game, very little about the sport, but I did watch it with my grandpa. We’d watch 2 tv sets at the same time and listen to the AM broadcast of still another game. My 3rd cousin is pitcher Cal McLish so he taught me a little bit – - I only liked the Cubs because of their logo, but it stuck with me. This year I get to see them play for real, and yes, having Mr. Sinise be their “voice” seems perfect…now, if Starbucks would sponsor the show, prieless!
