Opportunity
With opportunities left and right for Selleck, Twentieth Century Fox began asking for him to sign on with the company. Selleck, however, was hesitant to sign the contract, and had a particular condition that Twentieth Century Fox was happy to fulfill: he wanted to enroll in a training class to hone his skills.
Soap Opera Kid
One of Selleck’s first roles was playing a character on the hit daytime drama, The Young and the Restless. Though he played the minor character Jed Andrews, Selleck’s superb acting in the multiple love triangles his character was involved in wowed audiences and earned him a huge following in the daytime drama. As if Jed predicted the future, Selleck would later have many romantic relationships that would mimic his character’s.
