As you might already know, Tom Selleck became an icon as one of the most renowned custodians of a mustache in film and television. Although, he wasn’t the only one who could effortlessly sport the look.
Amongst others, Nick Offerman of “Parks and Recreations” owned the mustache look, as well as Will Ferrell in the hilarious film, “The Legend of Ron Burgundy.”
Branching Out
"Magnum P.I." definitely basked in all of its success but alas, all good things must come to an end. Luckily for Tom, it was just the beginning.
He went on to pursue roles on hit shows including "Friends," "The Closer," "Las Vegas," and most recently, "Blue Bloods!"
Political Views
Tom has always voiced his political opinions. The retired actor even described himself as “a registered independent with a lot of libertarian leanings.” Though, Tom hasn’t always been as open about being an active member of the National Rifle Association.
Rosie O’Donnell unhesitantly questioned him on his views on firearm ownership on her show, to which he replied, “It’s your show, and you can talk about it after I leave.”
Using Life Experiences
Tom Selleck’s roles have always been fascinating as they’ve actually been extremely similar to certain aspects of his own personality or aspects he aspires to be like.
He recently played a role in Blue Bloods as a proud and practicing Catholic, something he idealizes himself to be.
Working With Mannetti
Larry Manetti, a talented actor and producer, became one of the actors who was there with Tom in every step of the way during his time on "Magnum P.I.". Manetti, who played Orville Wilbur Richard “Rick” Wright, even wrote of his deep admiration for Selleck’s great work ethic in his 1996 memoir, "Aloha, Magnum."
He also praised Selleck for all the effort he put into helping a number of charities in Hawaii. Tom Selleck was truly a man admired by many.
