Thomas William "Tom" Selleck (born January 29, 1945) is an American actor and film producer, best known for his starring role as Hawaii-based private investigator Thomas Magnum on the 1980s television show Magnum, P.I.

Selleck was famous for his moustache, a Hawaiian-style aloha shirt, and Detroit Tigers baseball cap. Magnum drove a Ferrari 308GTSi 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

The Magnum, P.I. producers would not release the actor for other projects, and, thus, Selleck had to pass on the equally enticing film project for the title role of Indiana Jones, which then went to rising star Harrison Ford.

He began his career with bit parts in movies and in a number of TV series, mini-series and TV movies. Selleck also had a recurring role in the 1970s as Lance White in The Rockford Files.

In addition to his series work, Selleck has appeared in more than fifty made for TV and general release movies, including Mr. Baseball, Quigley Down Under (a role and film that he considers one of his best), Lassiter and his most successful movie release Three Men and a Baby, which was the highest grossing movie in 1987.

Some of his other films were Runaway, Three Men and a Little Lady, High Road to China, Coma, Her Alibi, An Innocent Man, Folks!, Christopher Columbus: The Discovery, In & Out and The Love Letter.

Throughout the late nineties, Selleck played the role of Richard, Monica's boyfriend, in the hugely successful TV series Friends.

One series Bill and I especially enjoyed watching Tom Selleck in was Boston Legal. He played Shirley Schmidt's (Candice Bergen's character) strange ex-husband, Ivan Tiggs who was extremely funny and quirky. The episodes he appeared in are some of our favorites!
