TRIVIA:

First TV appearance was as a college senior on _"The Dating Game" (1965)_ (qv) in 1967 and then a second time (date unknown at this time). Incredibly, he lost both times. Soon after, he appeared in TV commercials for products such as Pepsi-Cola.
Was asked to star opposite 'Julie Andrews (I)' (qv) in _Victor Victoria (1982)_ (qv) but hesitated, and by the time he decided he wanted the part, he was already locked into his _"Magnum, P.I." (1980)_ (qv) contract - the very same contract that cost him the role of Indiana Jones in _Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)_ (qv).
The decision of choosing the leading role of Indiana Jones in _Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)_ (qv) or _"Magnum, P.I." (1980)_ (qv) actually haunted Selleck so much that he consulted his best friend. Together they came to the conclusion that honoring his contract with _"Magnum, P.I." (1980)_ (qv) was the honorable thing to do. It turned out that the shooting of the pilot for _"Magnum, P.I." (1980)_ (qv) was delayed for over 6 months, which would have enabled Selleck to complete the role of Indiana Jones. Ironically, while waiting in Hawaii for _"Magnum, P.I." (1980)_ (qv) to commence filming, 'Steven Spielberg' (qv) and 'George Lucas (I)' (qv) were also in Hawaii to shoot scenes for _Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)_ (qv).
Honored by the Congressional Award in Washington, DC with the 1997 Horizon Award. The Horizon Award is a special recognition from the Joint Leadership of the United States Congress and the Congressional Award Board of Directors. The Horizon Award is presented to individuals from the private sectors who have contributed to expanding opportunities for all Americans through their own personal contributions, and who have set exceptional examples for young people through their successes in life.
Was a member of the California National Guard and was activated for the Watts riots.
Shaved off his trademark moustache for the 1997 film _In & Out (1997)_ (qv). Once rarely seen without it, he has since kept it off for most of his stage and screen work.
Played competitive volleyball with the Outrigger Canoe Club and was a three-time All American selection, twice winning the over-35 division in the National Championships.
Best known for his role on TV as the title character on _"Magnum, P.I." (1980)_ (qv).
