What Really Happened to TOM SELLECK - Star in Magnum, PI
• What Really Happened t... - Zábava
I had the privilege of meeting Tom Selleck on Oahu in 1985, very down to earth person. Very well liked by the locals.
As did I in 88.. while filming the last season of Magnum...Got to meet TC, and Rick...only got to see Higgy Baby from a distance...but I'll never forget that day at Waimenalo
I can't believe that Higgins lost out to Max (Hart to Hart) for best supporting actor.
Higgins was a vital part of Magnum PI. He was in nearly every episode and the show would have been less without Higgins' part.
Max, on the other hand could've been played by anyone. He was a part of Hart to Hart but no where near as important to the show. Hart to Hart was about how much Jonathon loved Jennifer and their coming across murders which they were able to solve. Max was great in that he loved the Hart's and Freeway and helped out where and when he could.
He didn't even seem happy about winning. Just thanked the head guys and got off the stage.
I was stunned and disappointed that he won over Higgins. I don't know how it happened. 😕
I did as well when he came aboard the aircraft carrier USS RONALD REAGAN. Really nice guy and very much down to earth! I’ll never forget it!
@@lorimiller4301 I never knew that Higgins lost out to Max. I am a huge Magnum P.I. fan because of Tom Selleck. I watched it when it was on the air. I also am a huge fan of Hart to Hart. I do not believe that just anyone could have played Max on Hart to Hart. He had to have the appropriate personality and of course the acting skills to mesh well with the two lead actors. The character of Higgins was very interesting and the actor who portrayed him was excellent. They are two completely different series. I think both series had outstanding supporting actors. I found Max's character to be much more enjoyable however that series was light-hearted and the character of Higgins was very serious and thought-provoking particularly in some of the shows that focused more on his past life. All award shows are subjective to some degree and it is perhaps a matter of preference with the judges but whatever the case, the character of Max on Hart to Hart was equal to that of Higgins in Magnum P. I. As far as "Max" not being excited about winning, I understand why that can be upsetting to someone but it doesn't take away from the excellence of his character on the show. I enjoyed reading your comments and certainly respect your opinion and enjoy sharing my own.
I met him when he showed up to wax my mom like a surfboard.
Whenever Blue Bloods was on TV, my brother would call me and say "Hey Magnum is on TV...". To me, Tom Selleck will always be Magnum.
Same.
You don’t give him enough credit for his acting skill. He embodies his character on Blue Bloods more than enough for me to not think of him as Magnum.
R.I.P. John Hillerman and Roger E. Mosley.
Higgins character would mention his India stories ,,then I caught on, and started watching the show which my dad watched, at age 8, till the last episode. Then the eyebrow shot at the end of the title track attracted to watch more, I would laugh as a kiddie
I didn't know Roger E. Mosley had passed! R.I.P. to both he and Hillerman. 🙏
I just saw Larry Manzetti on the new Magnum. Playing a piano crooner.
He looks old.
@@weeknders he is old that’s why 😂
Don't forget Jeff McKay.... he also has passed away
Magnum is arguably one of the best 1980s tv shows. I'm watching it right now. Killer is up at bat.
Hill Street Blues now there’s another one, and let’s be careful out there.
Same here. Loved how each episode was a total crapshoot on either being serious, goofy, or a “who done it?” mystery? The acting and writing was top notch.
I rewatch the series every once in a while, bought the DVD set several years ago for a little fortune but it's so worth. What a fantastic show! I love it, love the location, Magnum and Higgins, TC and Rick. ❤️
I grew up with Magnum... Tom Selleck will always be Magnum to me.
Ditto and then some.
I met Tom Selleck and John Hillerman in the early 80's in Wiamanalo Hawaii while they were filming and I talked with them for a little while. Tom seemed nice but shy, and John Hillerman was very nice. Was a fun day
To live a long and prosperous life, one must have balance. Tom Selleck is correct with his career decisions.
I enjoyed Selleck as Magnum, it was a great show watched it all in the 80's. He was good in Quigley as well, but to me he will always be " Magnum PI."
Hell yeah! The real Thomas Magnum 😊
@@rocknroller77 👍
He will always be Thomas Magnum, Private Investigator to me. ❤️
He never owned the car, it was Robin Masters car
Why the click bait title? You don't need it - this was a well done video.
Tom Selleck gave his co-stars each a porsche after season five. Very giving.
Thanks for your unconditional love and support, it's nice talking to you over here.
Where are you from @Beck?
Liked him in all of the roles I saw him play in. Very good actor.
Magnum PI is Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, Larry Manetti and Roger E Mosely........the ORIGINAL SERIES.
I have always LOVED Tom Selleck! Magnum, P.I. was a show I grew up on, plus my dad could've been his twin....they even eat their chocolate cake the same way, in a glass of milk :) Every time I see Tom Selleck, I think of my dad :)
He is good in all of his roles, but Magnum was the absolute best!! A friend of mine met him on a beach on oahu, even though he said he did not like the attention, he was absolutely the nicest person to my friend!
@@MULHATTON1851 Absolutely, that was awesome
Tom Selleck is an incredibly amazing person off-camera as well. His integrity level is huge. Every role, he's ever done, his true self is quite obvious.
One of my favorite shows of all time
So if Tom Selleck was never fired, why did you put a thumbnail of him with the text "They fired me"?
Click bait!
Amazing, cool Tom Selleck! A man for all seasons!
I loves Magnum PI, because of this I have watched not one of the Blue Bloods episodes. Magnum will never be topped.
Exactly
Agreed 300%.
You too ?
Thought it was just me
Same here.
He's fantastic in Westerns & as Jessie in the police chief series
Awesome series. I watch them a lot. Lol
HE WAS GREAT IN ALL HIS SERIES AND FILMS. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tommy as he is referred to in my household! I have loved him and his acting since 1980! He is only second to my husband LOL. I love how true he is to himself, who he is, what he stands for and how he conducts himself. What a Class Act!
My mom is exactly like you 😄 She loooves some Tom Selleck. Like you, only second to my pops. And James Garner😁
I really enjoyed watching Magnum PI Tom Selleck is an awesome awesome actor and to tell you the truth I became a helicopter pilot because of TC watching the show back in the '80s I have fixed wing and rotor added to my license Tom Selleck will always be Thomas Magnum and I know he's getting much older I think he's now 77 years old and I know he's getting awfully close to retire and leave Hollywood my prayers go with him and his family
Thank T.C. Who gave you the idea think that is Great 😃😉🇺🇸
He's done everything he can to become Higgins.
Tom Selleck was awesome in Magnum and is perfect in Blue bloods. I will never get why people want to meet their heroes in person, it’s meaningless. Love him to bits in his roles. ❤
Thanks for your unconditional love and support, it's nice talking to you over here.
Where are you from @Michael?
I'm glad he was able to talk them into Magnum being just a regular guy. I can't remember what episode it is but it was an iron Man type competition they probably called him something different back in the 80s, then he was training for and I remember at the end where he's using a kayak to kayak in he's like 64th place or something like that I love it
Was that the episode he did with Mrs. Krabappel ?? & his shirt said Island Hoppers on the back & T.C. got all this press when Thomas remembered something about where that guy buried something,..money (?) it was in some garden,...So he turned around during the cycling leg of the race & it was caught on the news ??
(I just looked it up: Season 1 episode 18 Beauty Knows No Pain)
I worked for Producer David Levinson and on a few shows with Producer Rick Husky, for the TV show "Charlie's Angels". I typed the scripts, so I knew the characters. Tom came in to read for the part of Jacquelyn Smith's (Kelly Garrett character) boyfriend. That was before Magnum P.I. He read for the part behind closed doors, so I didn't see it. But after he left, I said to the Producer, "You have to hire him". Not that my comment made any difference, but he did get the part.
Thanks for your unconditional love and support, it's nice talking to you over here.
Where are you from @Barbra?
Imagine if he’d got the role of Indiana Jones? He’d have REALLY suffered
I think it would be a great nod to the fans, if on "Blue Bloods" Commissioner Regan contemplates retiring, one of his staff says, "What are you going to do, move to some tropical island and bum around in a red sports car?"
There is a cop who was working a central park concert and their crew wore Hawaiian shirts to identify each other. One guy had a bushy dark mustache.
Guess which team was on his baseball hat.
It was hilarious
I liked when he would read a magazine to the baby in "3 men and a baby." Its not what you read but the tone of your voice. Maybe, just maybe, he reads to all of us.

He could actually play Higgins now…
When I see Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods, I say in my mind saying it's Thomas Magnum as an older guy, who left the Navy, left Hawaii and took a new identity, moved to NYC and became a cop
Mr. Tom is excellent in both rolls 👌 👏 👍 😀
Selleck really shined and showed his acting chops in "Quigley down under" "Blue Bloods" and "Jesse Stone" series.
Don't forget 'High Road To China'! lol
Completely disappointed that he wouldn't continue as Magnum !!! But understand why !!! Tom since Magnum has always been one of my favorite actors !!! Have seen everything he's done. Loved him in the Paradise series.
My favorite show ever I watch it every night
I'm loving blue bloods at the moment thsts all I've been watching 👀 👏👏👏🙏💙
He was great in Magnum. Also great in Quigley and very great in Jesse Stone series. But Blue Bloods is the culmination of all his experience and his greatest role yet.
He is the only one the best actor good looking perfect body and a beautiful person.saludos Los Angeles California

I lived in Hawaii during the Magnum P.I. run. I worked downtown in Honolulu and often saw the sets as they filmed. Never did see Tom Selleck, though, but every time I watch an episode of Magnum, P.I., I love seeing all the locations as it was back then. It was a simpler times in the 1980s and I miss them. Great memories, though.
Actually, I think his father (the grandfather), named Henry Reagan, would be the patriarch of the family as the oldest member of the family.
Magnum was an escape, a break from reality. BB is more of a reminder of how life is but in a fantasy world. Both are good shows. Magnum, more fun to watch..more James Bondy.
Can’t believe they rebooted this, like Tom Selleck is Magnum, same way the Falk is Columbo.
Honestly what a show.
Just watched the tennis one.
Magnum kicking off saying NO WAY HIGGINS..
then Higgins says 'robin masters will hold you personally responsible '
Then magnums face as he weighs it up!!!
Pos
He also starred in a movie called, "AN INNOCENT MAN" in which he gets set up by crooked cops after his home is invaded by D. E. A. by mistake. He is injured and knocked out, then the "cops" plant drugs in his home and arrest him & then he gets falsely persecuted and sent to prison. He is married with a good loving wife who tries to help him and he has a good attorney but the crooked cops, crooked justice system, and dangerous felony convicts are all out to get this "Innocent Man". If you are a Tom Selleck/Magnum fan you should watch this movie and see how it ends, it's very good.
I Highly understand it that would have driven me crazy and I am Thankful he stayed sane so he could leave it and enjoy his Freedom! He got to do the movies he wanted to do and he is still having his private life and Congratulations 🎉 for doing it and I get a feeling you asked for help and advice and they gave you Wise Advice!🙏😉😃🇺🇸🤩
I am watching the series for the first time in 2023 and it is one of the best shows. I love that it understands spectacle. It shows things that are pleasing and locations and it gives the actors good lines.
I also love the lighting, darker look. It’s not bright and aching colors
He'll always be Magnum to me...
Much as Don Johnson will always be Crockett...
These were the shows of my early teen years... happy memories !
I was in Old Tucson in 1979 when they were filming "The Sacketts" and we wandered on to an outdoor set after a shoot and there was Gilbert Roland and a few of the cast talking to one of the crew. I said, "hey, there's Gilbert Roland" and he turned and gave us a big smile and waved. The Sacketts had all the big character actors of the day with Selleck being a new face I started following him in all his westerns. I enjoyed Magnum for the first few seasons as a Navy man myself that did some time at Pearl but I don't think Bellisario had good writers back then. Not like today with NCIS.
I respectfully disagree re: the writers. Different times, different world, different styles of show. Both are amazing.
@@jediknightjairinaiki560 true
Right now, I'm enjoying the Jessee Stone series on DVD. There are 9 episodes and because old age has made me forgetful I'm finding no difficulty in watching Jessee Stone time after time without tiring at all.
I am surprised there is no official Magnum channel on CZcams
To me, Tom Sellek will always be the only Magnum PI! ❤️❤️

He was fantastic as Jesse Stone as well, he owned that role.
So good that I’ve watched every episode whenever they’ve been shown on TV, so at least 4 or 5 times for each of the 9 2-Hour TV Films!!! As much as I loved Magnum when I was growing up & still love to watch the reruns now, the Jesse Stone Character for me tops everything else he’s done! And he’s still contracted to do a 10th Feature-Length TV Movie as Jesse Stone, which has been delayed for years due to Covid & his work schedule on Blue Bloods. I hope he manages to get it made soon!!!
I knew Tom's former agent, Betty McCart, and the story of why Magnum PI ended and he left the show and Hawaii is much deeper than this.
I would love to know the deeper reasons
As the Seasons of Magnum progressed .. we could see the Evolution of Magnum .. and what really a Great Detective he was and his AH Ha Moments via Process of Elimination -Analytical Hypothesizes .. he was not just some Beach Boy Freeloader of Robin Masters .. He was a Seasoned Private Investigator !
👍
I remember seeing Tom Selleck in the 1972 film "The Daughters Of Satan" when he was real young, late 20s, long before Magnum P.I. He is 1 of my favorite actors. I hope he don't retire soon .......
He makes really good decisions on the roles he takes. Always high-quality characters that go well with his looks and mannerisms.
I will never forget working as a Hostess at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse In Hawai’i on Restaurant Row and Tom came in to eat. I was like 18 and from North Shore so I didnt really see “real celebrities” except pro surfers like Sunny Garcia and Kelly Slater so I see Tom and I get excited 😆 It was my last day at work after being sabotaged by manager who would purposely tell me the wrong table numbers to get me horribly in trouble or write it so bad that its barely legible. So here I couldn’t help myself quietly pointed out his table as we passed to get to their table. Lo and behold, the mean manager came up to me, I tried so hard not to laugh, to ask me if I was giving “tours” to his tables 🤦♀️ 😂😂😂

I was too young when this series aired originally in the early 80's, I was around 14 years old living in Venezuela where the it was total success down there, so I got to really enjoy the episodes less than 10 years ago and man thats a heck of a show, I also remember Tom in that not too famous 1985 (I guess) movie Runaway where he performed as a Policeman against and evil character personified by no other that Gene Simmons from the band Kiss, I really enjoy that movie also because the cast included a pretty Kristie Alley (RIP) which I had a kind of a crush on.
Always loved his role as Magnum PI. Blue Bloods is a little too close to the gritty reality of today for me although my lovely wife does love Blue Bloods and faithfully watches him on that show.
Above all...he's brutally honest... unheard of these days! Hey, Biden! You could learn something here!!!?
When his program was on I wouldn't miss it for any other shows . For the longest time I couldn't understand why it wasn't on anymore until the blue blood program and oh yeah I watch it just about every Friday night . I love it when the family all come together at the dinner table saying their prayer .
The writers of that show really have family down. Those dinner table conversations are always delightful.
Sad to know that Robin’s Nest was demolished a while back😢😢
Should have been saved by the film companies but nostalgia is only worth saving if it’s worth a shit load of money.

Nothing Tom ever does will match Magnum PI still one of the best shows in history I do like blue bloods it’s a really good sho I watch it often but magnum is the mother of all tv shows
Never watched blue bloods tired of cop shows. But loved magnum, probably the greatest involving American mystery show ever. Being a teen in the 80s helped starting watching halfway through season one.
I love him in both shows
Thanks for your unconditional love and support, it's nice talking to you over here.
Where are you from @Karen?
This is still the best show that ever came out my all time favorite
Amen. They will be missed.
I knew a guy who was the photographer for the show. He always said that Selleck was a great person and just a guy. He also said that everyone on the cast and set were friends. There no ego evident with anyone.
Fun fact: selleck had numerous big movie offers during the magnum run but kept coming back as long as he did out of loyalty to his fellow cast and the crew. He didn’t want them to lose their meal ticket. A number of other people have verified this and said how much they appreciated him doing that when he had opportunities to go elsewhere.
Fun fact 2: these clickbait videos aren’t worth supporting and at money-making vids made by people who did 2 minutes of research using google.
Acourding to some other info, he was'nt allowed to do movies or other stuff in his Magnum periods because the TV company was afraid that during filming movies or if he was sporting something could happend so the schedule of recording the tv-show getting in danger...
I had heard when he was in Nova Scotia filming, he told staff no one that who didn't have a reason to come up and talk to him was not to approach him. But that seems to go against everything else I've ever read and heard about him. He seems like a good guy.
Why would an introvert choose acting as a career? That's just insane!
I keep telling my dad that there should have been a crossover between the ad team and magnum pi
*a- team
And not to get off topic too much; he did a heck of a job as Jessie Stone. That was a wonderful series as well.
No one comes close to Tom Selleck as he made Magnum pi a great show

I preferred Mr. Selleck as Magnum P.I. I tried watching his new role as a police chief and turned it off half way through the episode -- not because of Selleck; he is a good actor whatever role he plays. I just wasn't interested in the story. When they brought Magnum P.I. back they should have got him. He IS Thomas Magnum. Can't be replaced. I had no trouble buying him as Matt Quigley in "Quigley Down Under" though. Great Movie! He could be a Western Star if the genre was still popular.
I prefer Tom Sellexck as Tom Selleck. An intelligent and humoures man.
higgy baby, lol. "ohh myy godd". the character were great.
I loved Magnum PI, but I think his best work by far was Jesse Stone.
Who didn't love watching Magnum PI....I liked Selleck best as Jesse Stone. A more complicated character...and the pacing of the show is much more relaxed.
I love Tom Selleck as magnum pi and Blue blood

I will always remember him as Richard from FRIENDS.

Where are you from @Marilyn?
I was eleven in 1980 so grew up with him playing Magnum. I’ve watched Quigley Down Under and it’s a great film but I’ve never watched Blue Bloods, maybe I should. Runaway is a very underrated movie also, I love the film.
"Blue Bloods" & "Magnum" are not really in the same league. "Magnum" was intended as light comedic fare "Blue Bloods" is more of a serial program in which the Reagan Family of crime fighters, as cops or District Attorney, focuses on the transactional impact on the family of being a crime fighter. Requires whole other level of writing for complex character development & exposition.
your point?
@@troywillingham1305 If you don't see the point, then I can't explain it to you.
And Frank Reagan is the perfect character for the mature Tom Selleck
@@Stevefor1776 It is. And I'm watching the original Magnum with Selleck, and I have to say, the recent Magnum is way better, not as simplistic, more sophisticated, even for as good as the Selleck Magnum was.
@@StevenTorrey Interesting to hear and contrary to all the folks who claim that the original series are better than the new versions - in many cases that is true, but I've got to say that I never had much interest in the original Magnum series and Selleck never hit my radar until his later work. I'll admit that as a young, single man with two jobs, taking college classes and chasing women I didn't spend much time watching TV period(!) I thought Magnum a bit too frivolous to waste time on.
I liked him best as Magnum.
It’s something about that Ferrari that kept me watching .. plus being a good actor .
I always loved the playful tension between Higgins and Magnum. OMG Magnum!!
I've only just seen on Foxtel, the shorts for the New Magnum PI, I haven't see Blue Bloods but Tom Sellect will always be the original and the Best Magnum PI, like David Hasselhoff will always be the original and Best Michael Knight in Knight Rider.
