Ever wondered what Hollywood's "almost-was" list looks like? Tom Selleck's career is a testament to both the roles he embodied and the iconic part he famously turned down, forever altering the course of cinematic history.
Tom Selleck, a name synonymous with the charismatic Thomas Magnum of "Magnum, P.I.," has graced both the small and silver screens for decades. Born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, to Martha (née Jagger), a homemaker, and Robert Dean Selleck, a real estate investor and executive, Thomas William Selleck's journey from a California kid to a Hollywood icon is nothing short of captivating. His family relocated to Sherman Oaks, California, during his childhood. He has an elder brother Robert, a younger sister Martha, and a younger brother Daniel. Before the Hawaiian shirts and Ferrari, Selleck honed his skills with bit parts in movies like "Myra Breckinridge," "Coma," and "The Seven Minutes." But destiny called in the form of a private investigator with a penchant for solving crimes and rocking a killer mustache.
