Tom Selleck's best Roles.....

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

"Nobody's that fast." Bang. -Thomas Magnum
"This ain't Dodge City, and you ain't Bill Hickok." Bang, bang, bang. -Matthew Quigley

He's had good lines just before he kills the bad guys.

Wow...I have always enjoyed Tom Selleck. I always enjoyed Magnum P.I. until seeing it in reruns. To me it is really campy and has really mediocre acting and even make-up. I guess for its day, we all thought it great. I really enjoy his Westerns ad Quigly is fantastic. My Fiance' and I have spent many great evenings just watching the Jessie Stone series. Probably our favorite though we never miss Blue Bloods. We tape them all and have all the Jessie Stone Series...I hope he gets the funding and there is a Final/another one

I admit--the 1st season was hokey and kinda boring but--as the show went on--it more than made upfor it. IMO--the best episode of the series was: Did you see the sunrise. I liked how he offed Ivan--at the end.

I don't think too many people saw it, but he played Eisenhower in a made-for-TV movie about the run-up to the Normandy invasion. He was very good indeed as Ike, and the Brit who played Montgomery (he probably has made a living doing it for some time) absolutely nailed it.

Selleck's performance was thoughtful, and caught the strain Ike was under as D-Day approached and the decision to go had to be made. He's more versatile than some critics give him credit for.

Though he lookes notig like Ike--his acting was spot on.

Since ive never seen any other Selleck tv series--ill still have to go with:Thomas Sullivan Magnum. And besides--what a cool last name. :D

Best movie as a Cop===the futuristic one--whose name I cant think of off-hand. He was good in Lassiter too.

The one where Gene Simmons was the bad guy......Runaway I think. The one movie I didn't much care for of his was Lassiter. Just didn't gel, if you know what I mean.

Double likes for this one. I couldnt think of it--been awhile since i last saw it. Lassiter wasnt a top Selleck but--I lied the idea of stealing from the Germans. :-))

The Sellec movie with Gene Simmons was "Runaway" He did a good job but it was not a well written or well directed movie. Better behind the scenes talent could have made a huge difference. Sellec and Simmons have the talent.
 
His rolls as Mathew Quigley and Jesse Stone are my favorites, but I can watch just about anything he is in. Anyone remember the movie Runaway he did with Kirsty Alley and Gene Simmons where he plays a detective chasing Gene Simmons as the bad guy. Really liked that one!

Was that the one with the robot spiders and the gun that shot around corners? Had nightmares about those damn spiders when I was a kid... :mad:
 
While I enjoyed most Magnum PI episodes the one I thought was the best was the season 3 opener "Did You See The Sun Rise". At the time is was shocking to see the hero shoot an unarmed man.
 
I love the Jessie Stone series but something bothers me about it and am wondering if anyone else notices. He never pets that dog. If that were my dog I'd be petting the hair off of him. That bothers me somehow, his indifference to his dog.

One thing I like is he always winds up in bed with an attractive female.
