Tom Selleck, born Thomas William Selleck on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, is a celebrated American actor and producer known for his iconic role as private investigator Thomas Magnum in the television series Magnum, P.I. and as Commissioner Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck’s charismatic on-screen presence, distinctive mustache, and classic American style have made him a beloved figure in Hollywood for over four decades.
Raised in Sherman Oaks, California, Selleck was the son of a real estate investor and a homemaker, growing up in a close-knit family alongside his siblings. In high school, he was an athletic young man who excelled in basketball and earned a scholarship to the University of Southern California, where he initially studied business administration. While at USC, Selleck became interested in acting, a passion that blossomed after a drama coach encouraged him to audition.
He soon left college to pursue an acting career, studying at the Beverly Hills Playhouse and working hard to land roles. He began his career in the 1960s and ’70s with minor roles in commercials, including for Pepsi-Cola, and guest appearances on television shows such as The Dating Game, which showcased his boyish charm and all-American looks. Though his early career had its share of struggles and bit parts, he persevered, and his big break came in 1980 when he landed the lead role in Magnum, P.I., a role he would hold for eight seasons until 1988.
