Good Reason
In an interview back in 1980, someone asked Selleck about refusing a cameo role in the film adaptation of Magnum P.I to which he gave a blunt answer. “I tell you what worries me — because I love “Magnum” and we have loyal fans — is they take these TV show titles, and they buy them and they spend $100 million on special effects, and then they make fun of them and trivialize it. Then they try and get the actor who used to be in it to do some ridiculous cameo to prove to the audience that it’s OK. And I will not do that.”
Good Reason
Spike!
Tom Selleck is more than an accomplished actor, he’s also an indoor and beach volleyball player! In fact, he plays in the outside hitter position for the Outrigger Canoe Club down in Honolulu. A teammate once said, “Tom was a great teammate, appreciative of being included with such a talented and experienced group, practicing and playing hard when his Magnum schedule permitted…. He was very patient with all of us, and we relished the big crowds that replaced the usual sparse number of players’ friends and spouses at the national tourney matches.”
