Tom Selleck's best Roles.....

finesse_r · Oct 20, 2014

Tom Selleck is not one of my favorite actors, but I like his work OK. However, he had two roles that were absolutely first rate.

No doubt the best character he ever played was Lance White as a guest star on the Rockford files. He kept me in stitches the who program long. This was certainly his best performance as a comedic/dramatic actor also. It was also some of the very best series of the Rockford files which may well be the best thing James Garner ever did. I say that as a big James Garner fan.

The second best role was that of Jessie Stone in the eight made for TV movies where he played a police officer. This was by far his best performance as a purely dramatic actor, and if you have not seen these movies, I highly recommend them.

I like him in "Blue Bloods". Good show. Watch it every week.

I like him best in Blue Bloods, now also in re-runs on ION network.

He acted well as Jessie Stone, but the whole town and most of the cast was depressing, much more so than in Robt. B. Parker's books. No one but maybe Selleck looked like I thought they would.

Quigley Down Under. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Quigley Down Under is pretty good. But one of my favorites of his
is Monte Walsh. Which of course is the 2nd version that I know of
after the Lee Marvin?? version of the 70's. Think it was Lee Marvin
anyway..
But I think I actually like the newer Selleck version a bit better I
think.. Both are pretty good I suppose.

Jesse Stone for sure.

Quigley

Great line...

Jesse Stone. Good representation of how to carry and use a 1911 pistol. Plus, a good representation of the dangers and depression involved in excess alcohol consumption.

I like the Jessie Stone series a lot. Good stuff!

i liked all his movies remaber when he was in tv series Vagas

sheepdawg · Oct 20, 2014

His best role was the Rosie O'Donnell show. It pretty much got the (supply your own word) show taken off the air.

halvenut · Oct 20, 2014

I can't narrow it down, as I like him in pretty much all that he has done. I'll watch something just because he's in it.

He is and always will be associated with his most successful character and that is Magnum PI. Jesse Stone is good but Magnum is what put him on the map and made his career.

I liked him in "Last Stand at Sabre River" and "Crossfire Trail" in addition to "Quigley", "The Sacketts", "Monte Walsh" and "Jesse Stone" mentioned above. Really liked his role as Lance in the "Rockford Files".

johngalt · Oct 20, 2014

I've liked him in most everything I've seen. I'll have to look for monte Walsh. I don't remover seeing him in The Rockford Files, which is a great show. I can't remember the title, but he played a post WWI airplane fighter ace that was decent. I haven't seen all the Jesse Stone movies, liked the ones I saw. Quilgly down under was good.

Never watched Blue Bloods, I've seen all the police shows I care to, especially those set in NY.

Geno44 · Oct 20, 2014

I can't think of anything Mr Selleck has done that I didn't like. Not mentioned yet was "Crossfire Trail". I liked that one. Western scenery, horses, guns and humor! Mr. Selleck also helps on the Second Amendment. I try to never miss "Blue bloods". He does a great job on that show as does the rest of the cast. I wish I looked as good at his age as he does.
