ABOUT RANDY: 

Randy L. Levine is of counsel in the New York City, New York, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. Randy is president of the New York Yankees.

A successful management labor lawyer since 1980, Randy has represented clients in the entertainment, sports, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality and transportation industries, among others.

Before joining Jackson Lewis, Randy served as the deputy mayor for Economic Development, Planning and Administration for the City of New York, where he coordinated the Giuliani administration’s economic development policies. Prior to joining the mayor’s office, he served as the chief labor negotiator for Major League Baseball (MLB) and, in 1996, negotiated MLB’s landmark labor agreement that led to the sport’s return to prominence. Before joining MLB, Randy served as the commissioner of labor relations for the city of New York, where he negotiated several groundbreaking contracts with New York City municipal workers and successfully mediated disputes within the hotel, commercial real estate and entertainment industries.

Similarly, Randy serves as president of the New York Yankees, a position he has held since 2000. Some of the highlights of this role include:
played the lead role in creating the Yankees Entertainment and Sports (YES) Network
created Legends Hospitality Management, a leading hospitality and stadium services business, which includes the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys as principal partners
led all aspects of the development and financing of the $1.5 billion Yankee Stadium, including negotiations with local, state and federal governments

The new team will be named New York City Football Club (NYCFC) and is slated to begin play in 2015.
advised on all sponsorship and stadium advertising agreements, including multimillion-dollar agreements with major sponsorship categories
participated in obtaining rights agreements with radio broadcasters

In addition to his work for the New York Yankees, Randy also led:
the purchase and sale of the New Jersey Nets NBA team
the purchase and sale of the New Jersey Devils NHL team

Previously, Randy served as principal associate deputy attorney general and principal deputy associate attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice, where he was the recipient of several Exceptional Service Awards.

Gary Sinise’s stage, film and television career has spanned more than four decades. In 1974, at 18 years old, he co-founded Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company. 20 years later, for his performance as Lt Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump, he received nominations for Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Academy Awards, and earned the Best Supporting Actor Award from the National Board of Review and the Commander's Award from the Disabled American Veterans. Other film credits include Apollo 13, Ransom, Snake Eyes, Impostor, The Green Mile, Mission to Mars and The Human Stain. 

His most recent film and television work include, I Still Believe, Good Joe Bell and the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. Gary has starred as Jack Garrett on the series Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, and for nine seasons as Detective “Mac” Taylor on the hit series CSI: NY, both of which aired on CBS. Sinise is an Emmy, Golden Globe, and two-time SAG Award winner for his roles in Truman and George Wallace. He also received a SAG Award nomination for his role in The Stand. 

For over 40 years, Gary has stood as an advocate on behalf of America’s service members. It began in the early ‘80s, supporting local Vietnam veterans’ groups in the Chicago area, and into the ‘90s, when his portrayal of Lt. Dan formed an enduring connection with service members throughout the military community, and as he worked on behalf of the Disabled American Veterans organization, which he continues to actively support today. Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Sinise’s dedication to our nation’s active-duty defenders, veterans, first responders and their families has become a tireless crusade of support, service and gratitude for all those who protect our freedom and serve our country. 

His portrayal of Lt. Dan Taylor in the landmark film Forrest Gump formed an enduring connection with servicemen and women throughout the military community. 

In 2003, after several USO handshake tours, he formed the “Lt. Dan Band” and began entertaining troops serving at home and abroad. Over the years, the 13-piece cover band has performed hundreds of shows for charities and fundraisers supporting wounded heroes, Gold Star families, veterans and troops around the world. 

Sinise served as the national spokesperson for the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial and raised funds for the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial in Washington, D.C. and the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance in NYC. He serves on the President’s Advisory Group for the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation, the Community Council for Hope for the Warriors and as an honorary board member of Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). 

In 2011, to expand upon his individual efforts, he established the Gary Sinise Foundation with the mission to serve and honor America’s defenders, veterans, first responders, Gold Star families and those in need. The foundation remains committed to finding new and exciting ways to give back to those who sacrifice for our nation and encouraging others to do the same has become his personal quest and what he hopes will endure as a legacy of service to others. 

In 2019, his autobiography, Grateful American: A Journey from Self to Service, was released and immediately became a New York Times Bestseller. It is the inspiring, entertaining, and profound story of how a young “rough around the edges” kid from Chicago eventually, through his very personal and unique journey, found his calling: to ensure that our nation’s defenders, who serve this country and its freedoms, are never forgotten. 

In recognition of his humanitarian work, Sinise has earned many distinguished honors including two awards from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, the Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment, and their highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Patriot Award.  

Other awards include the Spirit of the USO Award, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the Spirit of Hope Award by the Department of Defense, the Sylvanus Thayer Award from the West Point Association of Graduates and the George Catlett Marshall Medal from the Association of the United States Army (AUSA).

In 2008, he was given the Presidential Citizens Medal, the second-highest civilian honor awarded to citizens for exemplary deeds performed in service of the nation. He is only the third actor ever to receive this honor. He was also named an honorary Chief Petty Officer by the United States Navy, an Honorary Marine by the United States Marine Corp, and an Honorary Battalion Chief of the Fire Department of New York. On April 17, 2017, he received a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
