Beginnings
All of Selleck’s hard work paid off when he turned 35, and he earned his biggest role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I. This opportunity was a chance for him to make a name for himself. The show was shot in in the idyllic location of Hawaii, but things did not go according to plan. Filming was actually delayed for 6 months due to a writer’s strike! Without a salary from this stalemated role, Selleck worked as a handyman to pay the bills. There aren’t many people around today that are that versatile.

Magnum P.I.
Magnum, P.I. was an absolute crime drama hit and stayed on air for a total of 8 seasons! You heard that right, there were 163 episodes of Tom Selleck rocking Hawaiian shirts and a Detroit Tigers baseball cap. It goes without saying that the biggest fans of the show have the same apparel in their own closets. And that mustache! We can’t forget about that gem of the 80’s.
