Tom Selleck is best known for his leading role in "Magnum P.I." a television show that lasted from 1980 to 1988. Although he was a huge television star he has yet to cross over into the major screen. His big chance was when he was casted for the role of "Indiana Jones" the same year as "Magnum P.I". He decided to honor his contract with Magnum producers and pass up playing the whip-cracking archeologist. Almost 20 years, four movies, a Disneyland ride, and a popular theme song later Harrison Ford and the Indiana Jones franchise are still money-making machines. Selleck, on the other hand, is still handsome as ever but not box office bait.
