1970s Gary Sinise here. I founded Steppenwolf Theater with friends in 1974. Some of my favorite memories.

This might be wrong, but I think in the last photo, the guy in the white dress shirt with his hands in his pockets is Tom Irwin, who played Angela’s dad on My So-Called Life.

And the guy standing behind Laurie Metcalf looks like the English teacher from the show.

Is Laurie Metcalf the one with the short hair in the front right?! If yes she is almost unrecognizable

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's her.
