Gary Sinise in Conversation

Simpson University and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute present an inspiring conversation with award-winning actor, humanitarian, and service-members advocate Gary Sinise as he reflects on his deeply moving memoir, Graceful Warrior: The True Story of a Son, a Father, and a Family Who Carried Each Other Through.

This special event offers a rare, intimate look into Gary’s personal life. Known widely for his iconic acting career and his tireless work supporting military personnel, veterans, and first responders through the Gary Sinise Foundation, Gary turns the lens inward in Graceful Warrior. The memoir shares his family’s heartbreaking yet uplifting journey following the rare cancer diagnosis of his son, Mac—a gifted musician and composer.

During the lecture, Gary will share reflections on love, grief, enduring faith, and finding strength in life’s most difficult trials. Following the discussion, select ticketholders will have the opportunity to meet Gary during an exclusive pre-release book signing.
