An outstanding lead role by an obscure actor who remained obscure:

1. Vincent Gallo, “Buffalo 66”
2. Haing S. Ngor, “The Killing Fields”
3. Harold Russell, “The Best Years Of Our lives”
4. Peter Ostrum, “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory”
5. Mark Lester, “Oliver”
6. Heather O’Rourke, “Poltergeist”
7. Ron Moody, “Oliver”
8. Jaye Davidson, “The Crying Game”
9. Robert Forster, “Jackie Brown”
10. Adam West, “Batman”
11. Carrie Henn, “Aliens”
12. Gary Sinise, “Stephen King’s The Stand”

In '94 he exploded onto the scene with key supporting roles in _Forrest Gump, Apollo 13_ and _Ransom,_ then seemingly disappeared just as quickly. According to imdb, he’s had NO theatrical roles since 2004!

Gary Sinise has been the lead in CSI:NY since 2004, which partly explains his disappearance from the movie scene.
