Tom Selleck
Thomas William Selleck (/ˈsɛlɪk/; born January 29, 1945) is an American actor. His breakout role was playing private investigator Thomas Magnum in the television series Magnum, P.I. (1980–1988), for which he received five Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, winning in 1984. From 2010-24, he was NYC Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. From 2005-15, he was troubled small-town police chief Jesse Stone in nine television films based on the Robert B. Parker novels.
In films, Selleck has played bachelor architect Peter Mitchell in Three Men and a Baby (1987) and its sequel Three Men and a Little Lady (1990). He has also appeared in more than 50 other film and television roles since Magnum, P.I., including the films Quigley Down Under, Mr. Baseball, and Lassiter. He appeared in recurring television roles as Monica Geller's love interest Dr. Richard Burke in Friends, as Lance White, the likeable and naive partner on The Rockford Files, and as casino owner A. J. Cooper on Las Vegas. He also had a lead role in the television Western film The Sacketts, based on two of Louis L'Amour's books.
Selleck was a spokesman for the National Rifle Association of America, an endorser in advertisements for National Review magazine, and co-founder of the Character Counts! organization. He also served as an infantryman in the California Army National Guard from 1967 to 1973, attaining the rank of sergeant.
Thomas William Selleck was born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 29, 1945, to housewife Martha Selleck (née Jagger) and Robert Dean Selleck, who was a real estate developer. He has an elder brother Robert, a younger sister Martha, and a younger brother Daniel.
Selleck is of mostly English descent, although he also has Irish and some German ancestry on his mother's side. Through a paternal line, Selleck is a direct descendant of English colonist David Selleck, who moved to Massachusetts from Somerset, England, in 1633. Through this line, Selleck is of the 11th generation of his family born in North America.
Selleck's family moved to Sherman Oaks, California, in 1948. He graduated from Grant High School in 1962 with future Monkees drummer Micky Dolenz and enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College, living at home and saving money. Selleck, who stands 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall, transferred to the University of Southern California during his junior year to play for the USC Trojans men's basketball team. He also was a pitcher and designated hitter for the USC baseball team. He is a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and a member of the Trojan Knights. While he was majoring in business administration, a drama coach suggested Selleck try acting, and in his senior year, he dropped out of the university. Selleck then studied acting at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, under Milton Katselas.
Upon receiving a draft notice during the Vietnam War, Selleck enlisted in the California Army National Guard. He served in Company C, 1st Battalion, 160th Infantry from 1967 to 1973, attaining the rank of sergeant.
Selleck's first television appearance was as a college senior on The Dating Game in 1965 and again on an episode that originally aired January 28, 1967, where he was in the first game and Bill Dana and Casey Kasem were in the second game (on YouTube at: [1]). Soon after, he appeared in commercials for products such as Pepsi-Cola.
