You see it all the time. An actor in a role on TV or a movie that anyone can play. CSI and LAW and Order have trapped some fine actors in very forgettable parts. I am thinking particularly now of Gary Sinise but it is also true for Marg Helgenberger and virtually all the stars of these franchises.
Gary Sinise showed his acting muscle in
Of Mice and Men, A Midnight Clear, The Stand, That Championship Season and ever
Forest Gump. But here he is stuck in a generic role in
CSI New York. I suppose they are glad for the steady income but still...
Who else is playing way below their talent level?
