More on Tom Selleck
Thomas William Selleck (born January 29, 1945) is an American actor, film producer, California Army National Guard veteran, and National Rifle Association (NRA) spokesman. He is most known for starring as private investigator Thomas Magnum in the television series Magnum, P.I. (1980–1988), as Peter Mitchell in Three Men and a Baby, and as NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods on CBS since 2010. Selleck also had a recurring role as Lance White, the likeable and naive partner of Jim Rockford (played by James Garner) on The Rockford Files and also played Police Chief Jesse Stone in a series of made-for-TV movies based on Robert B. Parker novels.
Selleck has appeared in more than 50 film and television roles since Magnum, P.I., including Three Men and a Baby, Quigley Down Under, Mr. Baseball, and Lassiter. He appeared as Dr. Richard Burke on Friends and as A.J. Cooper on the TV series Las Vegas. He also had a lead role in the television western movie The Sacketts, based on two of Louis L’Amour‘s books.
Tom Selleck Looks Back
Selleck takes a look back at his movie and TV career in this video:
Is Tom Selleck Married?
Since August 7, 1987, Selleck has been married to Jillie Joan Mack (born 1957). They have one daughter, Hannah (born December 16, 1988).
Selleck has one previous marriage. From 1971 to 1982, Selleck was married to model Jacqueline Ray.
Selleck was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1945, to housewife Martha Selleck (née Jagger) (1921–2017) and Robert Dean Selleck (1921–2001), who was an executive and real estate investor. Selleck’s family moved to Sherman Oaks, California, during his childhood. He has an elder brother Robert (born 1944), a sister Martha (born 194?), and a younger brother Daniel (born 1950).
Selleck graduated from Grant High School in 1962 and enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College living at home and saving money. During his junior year, with the help of a basketball scholarship, Selleck transferred to the University of Southern California where he played for the USC Trojans men’s basketball team. While Selleck was majoring in Business Administration, a drama coach suggested he try acting and, in his senior year, he dropped out of the university. Selleck then studied acting at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.
Selleck talks about his 30th wedding anniversary in this 2017 interview on Kelly and Ryan:
Selleck’s Acting Career
Selleck’s first television appearance was as a college senior on The Dating Game in 1965, and again in 1967. Soon after, he appeared in commercials for products such as Pepsi-Cola.
He began his career with bit parts in smaller movies, including Myra Breckinridge (invited on the set by Mae West), Coma, and The Seven Minutes. He appeared in a number of TV series, mini-series and TV movies. He was also the face of Marlboro cigarettes as the Marlboro Man. In 1972, he starred in the B-movie Daughters of Satan. Still struggling as an unfamiliar TV actor, Selleck had a recurring role in the 1970s as private investigator Lance White in The Rockford Files.
Upon James Garner‘s death, he said, “Jim was a mentor to me and a friend, and I will miss him.” Two years after Garner’s death, Selleck said, prior to filming his then 6th season of Blue Bloods: “It’s kind of like my mentor, who never wanted to hear he was my mentor (James Garner), I don’t accept the mentor role. That they feel that way is, I think flattering although it adds a certain amount of pressure.”
Selleck is an avid outdoorsman, marksman and firearms collector. These interests led him to leading-man cowboy roles in Western films, starting with his role as cowboy and frontier marshal Orrin Sackett in the 1979 film The Sacketts, opposite Sam Elliott, Jeff Osterhage, and Western legends Glenn Ford and Ben Johnson. He followed The Sacketts with The Shadow Riders in 1982, then portraying a cat burglar in 1930s London in Lassiter in 1984. Quigley Down Under is probably one of his best-known Western films, although he won a “Western Heritage Award” for his 1997 role in Last Stand at Saber River. In 1979 he starred in Concrete Cowboys with Jerry Reed.
Magnum stardom
Selleck’s big break came when he was cast in the lead role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I.. The producers would not release the actor for other projects, so Selleck had to pass on the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, which meant that the role went to actor Harrison Ford instead. It turned out that the shooting of the pilot for Magnum was delayed for over six months by a writers’ strike, which would have enabled him to complete Raiders.
“Look, I made a deal with Magnum and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I’m proud that I lived up to my contract, and some people said, ‘You’ve got to get into a car and drive into a brick wall and get injured and get out of Magnum and do this [Raiders].’ I said ‘I gotta look my mom and dad in the eye, and we don’t do that,’ so I did Magnum…that’s not so bad is it?”
—Tom Selleck • Build Series Interview
Selleck played the role of Thomas Magnum in 1980 after filming six other TV pilots that were never sold. Magnum was a former U.S. Navy Officer, a veteran of a Special Operations unit, “SEAL” in the Vietnam War, and later a member of the “Naval Intelligence Agency” (a fictional version of the Office of Naval Intelligence), who had resigned his commission with the Navy to become a private investigator living in Hawaii. The show would go on for eight seasons and 163 episodes until 1988, winning him an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 1984.
Selleck was famous for his mustache, a Hawaiian-style aloha shirt, a Detroit Tigers baseball cap, and a Colt MKIV/Series 70 Government Model handgun which his character regularly carried. Magnum drove a Ferrari 308 GTS in the series. The model became so identified with the role that Ferrari fans now refer to the red-painted model as a “Magnum” Ferrari.
After the end of the show in 1988, it established itself as the top-rated one-hour show in the history of syndicated reruns (at least until 1998). Selleck was offered the lead role of Mitch Buchannon in Baywatch, but turned down the role because he did not want to be seen as a sex symbol. The role eventually went to David Hasselhoff.
During the Magnum years, he also starred as an acrophobic police detective in Runaway and a stand-in father in Three Men and a Baby.
In the mid-nineties, Selleck played the role of Richard Burke, Monica’s older boyfriend, starting at the end of the second season of the TV series Friends. Richard was a divorced ophthalmologist who was a friend of Monica’s parents, and at first the relationship was hidden from her parents. The relationship eventually ended over Richard’s reluctance to commit to having children, though Selleck did make a few more appearances in later episodes.

The fifth film, Jesse Stone: Thin Ice, was not adapted from Parker’s novels, but was instead an original story by Selleck.
