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.”
Great Job, Here Is Your Award
With Tom’s incredible performance, as well as the invaluable work done by the writers and supporting cast, "Magnum P.I." saw the light of day as a commercial and critical success.
It went on to receive Emmy award nominations, including Selleck’s Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Series and John Hillerman’s Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for playing the role of Higgins.
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!"
The Glorious Mustache
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."
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.
