hey’d lived hard and played harder.  Music was in their blood, their souls, for them it was as natural as breathing.  Yet, now as she waited in the cold hospital waiting lounge, Donna Anast was praying that they had not yet played their last tune, had not yet taken their last breath.  As she prayed, her husband Michael flirted with death on the operating table just down the hall...

GiGi talks about her fear of hospitals and having to face that fear during the filming of ‘Flag:’

“I don’t like hospitals under any circumstances.  Rodney (the executive producer) didn’t know I had hospital issues.  We literally had to spend a whole day at the hospital shooting, and I literally stayed out in my car until it was time for me to roll camera.  A lot of times they build sets for these things, I didn’t realize I was going to be in a real hospital.  I like being in the hostage room as a POW more than being in the hospital.”

John Schneider talks about his take on faith:

“All I’ll tell you is I know where I’m going and I great peace in that.  I love to garden.  One of the great joys every year is watching the bulbs I planted.  I don’t know why that puts a smile on my face, but it does.  In the midst of jumping cars, doing fistfights for movies and raising Superman, I get joy out of watching the bulbs come up every year.  Only God can do that.”

Andrew Sensenig talks about how he came into his role as Benjamin in ‘Flag:’

Andrew received the role in a package from his agent to review, and he was immediately intrigued.

“I was so drawn to the family dynamics, the faith based elements along with the veterans and armed forces.  I usually don’t directly contact a director/producer, but I felt a strong calling to reach out to (executive producer) Rodney Ray and let him know how interested I was and ask if I could get a copy of the script.  When I saw the gist of story, and the relationships, I felt drawn and wanted to be a part of it. My father died when I was young, he was 39, and I was 16, so I understand that element of loss.  I told Rodney, ‘I realize you are looking for big names, the John Schneider’s and William Devane’s, but that role of Ben, I’m just telling you, God’s telling me that I’m supposed to do that.’”
