They See Me Rollin’
Here’s a fun fact that you might be interested to know: that red Ferrari that Selleck famously drives around in the show was not a part of the original script! The writers wrote it was a Porsche, but Selleck’s tall stature stopped him from fitting in one. They switched the Porsche to a Ferrari so that the 6’4” Selleck could fit. We think that was one of the best changes the writers could have made to the script. The Thomas Magnum of the show couldn’t have ridden anything else.

Nothing But Respect
In 1996, Larry Manetti, who played Rick Wright on the Magnum, P.I. show, released his memoir titled Aloha Magnum. Fans waited with bated breath to read about all the scandals on the show. Much to their chagrin, Manetti only had positive things to say about Selleck on the set! Manetti mentioned Selleck’s charity work, his unrivaled work ethic, and friendly attitude.
