Something wrong?The mustache had a career, and Tom Selleck came with it. For eight seasons he was Thomas Magnum, the Hawaiian-shirt private eye who made a Ferrari and a Detroit Tigers cap feel like a uniform, then spent the next three decades proving he could carry a badge without the tropical backdrop.

, Why westerns get segregated into a genre in Hollywood, I don't know... It's just good entertainment.
You know, I understand how you feel. This is a really contentious issue. Probably as contentious, and potentially as troubling as the abortion issue in this country.
I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived [to sign up for courses], architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it. So I signed up for acting instead.

Born January 29, 1945, Selleck served as an infantryman in the California Army National Guard from 1967 to 1973, reaching sergeant, before landing the role that would define him: Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I. (1980-88), which earned him five Emmy nominations and one win in 1984. He parlayed that into a film career that included Three Men and a Baby (1987), then the biggest box-office hit of the year, and its sequel three years later. Recurring turns as Dr. Richard Burke on Friends and nine Jesse Stone TV films based on Robert B. Parker's novels kept him visible between 2005 and 2015. In 2010 he took the chair as NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods, a role he held for fourteen seasons until 2024. Off-screen he co-founded Character Counts!, endorsed the NRA, and appeared in ads for National Review - a second career as the face of a particular kind of American rectitude.
