Tom Selleck A&E Biography 2003

Antti Walsh a Western for TNT Tom Selleck the film star and co-executive producer attends to the details of post-production when we get to the last sequence like no matter Shorty's yeah because all three guns fire in that sequence the others of Shorty's pistol and Monty's rifle and shorty shot as Monty Walsh Tom plays a cowboy who stubbornly sticks to his guns choosing to survived by his skills and his instincts rather than sell out and play it safe on the rent it's a role Tom can identify with he gave up a secure future as a businessman to become an actor 13 years later after paying his dues in bit parts print ads and unsold pilots he rose to become the star of magnum p.i one of the most popular TV shows ever and movies such as three men and a baby none of this success would have happened unless Tom liked the cowboy Monty Walsh had taken a chance on himself acting both in your your choice a lifestyle and in the work you do it's all about taking risks if you don't take a risk as an actor when you have a job you're probably not going to be good because you played it too safe every actor learns that very early on and actors also have to take risks in life because they don't always know when they're gonna be able to pay the mortgage and I think that appetite came probably from my parents and their willingness to start a life out here on with nothing Tom's appetite for risk-taking began early he was born on January 29th 1945 in Detroit Michigan the second of Robert and Martha SELEX for children when Tom was just four his father a real estate broker wanted to try his luck in California this was a bold step for the SELEX they had deep roots in Michigan and no guarantee of success out west soon after they arrived in Los Angeles Tom's father landed a job as a commercial real estate broker he didn't earn a commission for a year the SELEX lived off their savings and on the faith that the risk they had taken would eventually pay off we just grinned and bared it and we had to wait for quite a while to furnish our place but we had a lot of wonderful neighbors they even offering a bed here in a chair here and whatever but we really struggled for a while and we thought when is that first check going to come in the SELEX settled in a modest home in Sherman Oaks a suburb in the San Fernando Valley there Tom grew up enjoying a typical baby boomer boyhood in the early 1950s I wanted to be a professional baseball player as a huge baseball fan and that was my fantasy I didn't think about act and never did a play I never took an acting class that just played sports because I loved him and so girls have liked you at school tom was an avid athlete but an average student after graduating from Grant High School in 1962 he enrolled at nearby Valley Junior College there he played basketball and improved his grades in order to secure a scholarship to the University of Southern California that's where I got exposed you know weird way to acting because I heard this theater arts class was an easy a and I wanted to get good grades to go to SC so I could study business so I took this history of the American theater class and it was an A which is great and that that helped a lot what helped even more was that the teacher thought Tom would be a good type for TV commercials and encouraged him to pursue it by the time Tom transferred to USC he had head shots and an agent art imitated life during his senior year when he was cast in his first commercial playing a basketball player in a Pepsi spot the only reason I got the commercial was not for my acting ability but I could stuff a basketball with either hand from Hollywood in color it's the dating game at the same time I did a dating game and everybody in my fraternity house the Sigma Chi house was doing the dating game he's from Detroit Michigan we'd like you to meet Tom Selleck so I went on and humiliated myself as bachelor number two number two if you were a statue what would you be doing and what would you be called I'd be holding a fig leaf and be called nude alas the Bachelorette did not pick Tom but 20th Century Fox did after seeing Tom and commercials and his appearance on the dating game the studio offered him a $35 a week contract I had a management training job with United Airlines I was training to go to work for them at the end of my senior year and I said I'd have to quit that job dad and what should I do and he said I think it's the kind of thing where you get to be 35 if you didn't try it when it came up and you might wonder what if they said I think you should probably do it just don't let him change you encouraged by his father's example Tom took a life-changing risk and hoped it would pay off in 1967 he dropped out of USC just a few credits shy of earning his business degree and entered Fox's new talent program they he met Sam Elliot another fledgling performer there's a great opportunity to meet Tom it's real obvious when you look at a guy like Tom you know that something's gonna come of it you know and he was dedicated to the game as I was and there was no question that that it was going to come to him I think early on I remember going to visit Tom at 20th Century Fox when he who is in the new talent program and that was really the first time I actually realized he was acting because they were doing some improv and they used to have tours through and I think my sister and I went on a tour and they did quite an extensive improv routine and I was I kind of nodded my head saying it always actually knows what he's doing here in 1970 Tom made his feature debut in Myra Breckinridge to get the bit part of a studly secretary he had to audition with the film star screen legend Mae West she was very concerned that I was so tall because she always wanted people to think she was she was very tall she really wasn't while teaching me how to be shorter I would stand in front of her and and she said well spread your legs wider and that would bring the height down and she'd look taller and she had me read the scene with her I was just laughing out of nervousness and I got the part throughout the decade Tom played small parts in B movies shot six unsold pilots and appeared as a guest star on TV shows including the soap opera The Young and the Restless in 1974 and 75 well it's been a while gee we haven't seen one another since you did that mind blowing thing for Betty and me yeah I don't know whatever got into me why I ever brought the two of you back together I've missed you you know I don't know what you said to Betty but she is a different woman I was getting these great opportunities which made me think that maybe I'm gonna get a shot in this business which was good because I had a wife and child by then in 1970 Tom had married Jacki ray an actress/model who had a son Kevin by a previous marriage to support his new family Tom augmented his income with steady work in print ads and commercials so they've switched to band basic a non aerosol spray it's a very effective antiperspirant my antiperspirant is convenient it's reasonably priced and it smells okay I just wish it a work better for me chassé chassé aftershave and cologne for men is dedicated to that feeling of freedom safeguard doesn't need heavy perfume to mask odor because it's so effective at removing the cause of perspiration odor he smells just the way a man should smell clean see this work paid the bills but it cost Tom some credibility in the acting profession every time I walked into an office they said oh he's a male model and unfortunately there was a whole stigma that went with that that wasn't justified but that was the way of things so it was so hard to get treated seriously as an actress and in that really I think was a bit of a setback to be honest with me the setback didn't last long in 1979 Tom's prospects began to change when writer producer Steven J kennel cast him as picture-perfect private investigator Lance white in two episodes of the Rockford Files starring James Garner I saw in him all of those qualities that I look for in a leading man and can almost never find aside from his look you know he had the ability not to take himself seriously and in not taking himself seriously he still kept his his low center of gravity he still looked like a guy could hurt you if he wanted to I know you're upset Jim I mean after all I did promise to stay out of it didn't I the guy has got to do what a guy has got to do I know you're making fun of me are you late for something I went home and I told my wife I said I found the star of the 80s I found the next big television star this guy is going to be huge seeing him on the Lance white part was was where we really all kind of finally sat down and said you know this the he's really found something here that is is gonna really catapult him and I think we've all felt that way when we saw that to get that part at that time on Garner's show I really understood what I thought I should do I couldn't do him but I I thought that's the ballpark I want to be in and watching how he behaved as a star of a show that leads also need to exhibit leadership he treated his crew like human beings he knew them all by name they were a family and I saw all this stuff and on my good days I tried to be like him plain Lance white showed Tom and his best a hunk with humor and he knew it if he could find a role that capitalized on that winning combo then he might have a hit series of his own Tom would find it the following year when he starred in a pilot about a private investigator in Hawaii named Magnum [Music] I knew that we both died now it would be okay I did not want to do that Chuck I want to do flawed characters with humor and I said I won't do it [Music] during the 70's Tom Selleck had evolved from a bit player in B movies to an actor on the brink of stardom the advances he had made in his career and contrasted with a setback in his personal life in 1979 he separated from wife Jackie Wray after nine years of marriage six months later Universal Studios to whom Tom was under contract cast him to play the lead in his seventh TV pilot it was called magnum p.i an action-adventure about a Vietnam veteran turned private investigator in Hawaii there was just one problem Tom hated the script Magnum at that point was a kind of perfect private eye who had a stewardess on each arm and he owned a Ferrari I think and I did not want to do that shot I wanted to do flawed characters with humor whether it was drama or not I wanted to find the comedy and tragedy in the tragedy in comedy and I said I won't do it Tom did do the Magnum pilot but only after the script was rewritten to incorporate his suggestions while awaiting word on whether a network picked up the show Tom audition for the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark he impressed George Lucas and Steven Spielberg the movies producer and director Stephen George said we want you to do the movie oh my god and they said we want you to do the movie oh no I was kind of stunned I was the last guy in town I think to to go out on it and I said I did this pilot and they have first column yeah it have isn't sold or anything and they said oh we're not worried about that we got plenty of cards to play with with Universal while Spielberg and Lucas attempted to work out a deal with the studio Tom agonized over what he should do take the solid offer to play Indiana Jones or honor his contract to play Magnum if it's old he consulted with Steven J kennel so well Thomas is a good problem and he said well what do I do and I said we you know I said you know what what you got to doing since I got to live up to my contracts I said exactly Tom had that sense I think it came from his dad who was a businessman and a really good one and you know I think his father kind of taught him as my father taught me you know only only as good as your word when CBS bought Magnum the network refused to alter its schedule to allow Tom to shoot Raiders he went to Hawaii to begin work on Magnum but a strike by the Screen Actors Guild delayed production to cover his expenses Tom worked as a handyman for his landlady I worked for seven bucks an hour for her with no work waiting for this hypothetical show Magnum to start and guess who comes to Hawaii Raiders of the Lost Ark and it turns out they finished the movie before I ever started banging I could have done both Erikson Floyd is indelible and brilliant as Indiana Jones is just an interesting anecdote at this point I like to think I would have done a good job I probably couldn't have done his job it would have had to do it my way but just as Harrison Ford was indelible as Indiana Jones so tom would be as Magnum when the show premiered on CBS in December 1980 it quickly became a hit [Music] there's really a lot of reasons the writing it was Hawaii itself Hawaii was a big big factor and believe it or not the Ferraris and and the to Doberman Pinschers but it was the whole chemistry of what was put together but mainly it was Tom to see the sunrise this morning yes why [Music] as the virile but vulnerable Magnum Tom's brawny good looks sense of humor and laid-back attitude appealed to both male and female viewers to them he represented the classic leading man long absent from Hollywood so fine I need we both died now it would be okay we die happy happy he was a throwback I mean he was gable ass even in the way he looked and in the comfort level because at the same time you had you know De Niro Pacino and a very ethnic everybody was going for the edge and the people who didn't have the edge were left out except for Selleck and he brought that back movie studios seeking to capitalize on Tom's mass appeal inundated him with offers during his annual hiatus from Magnum his first picture in a starring role was high road to China a period romance adventure released in 1983 in it Tom plays a boozy aviator opposite Bess Armstrong it's hard to understand the day is that back then television actors didn't make the transition to movies almost ever there was this unspoken division in the business you were either in television or you were in film so here was Tom making the leap everybody was waiting to see what would happen when he moved onto the big screen you know could he translate as they liked to say back then the answer was a qualified yes though Tom himself earned favorable notices and the film made a profit high road took some low blows from the critics his second film Lassiter in which he played a 1940's cat burglar suffered a similar fate reviewing the 1984 release The Hollywood Reporter summed up the prevailing perception of Tom the movie star Selleck is clearly one of the best rough-and-tumble heroes any screen large and small has seen in years it said but he is yet to choose a vehicle that shows off his roguish talents to best advantage while Tom waited for that vehicle his television career had accelerated faster than the Ferrari he drove on Magnum in 1984 he received the Golden Globe and the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and the winner is it's a big deal to win Best Actor in a Drama and an award from your peers is really nice and to be recognized at all it was really nice I never envisioned that one Magnum started I didn't envision anything I envisioned 13 paychecks which is what my deal said I didn't there's something I always wanted to have the nerve to say and I haven't done it already and that's just thank you so it's really nice to win but it's the path you take that that's really what you celebrate and the risks you take whether they work or not Tom's path would take him beyond Magnum to three men and a baby and a wife bio trivia is brought to you by Aflac ask about it it were do you know the answer to tonight's bio trivia who played Thomas magnums often heard but never seen boss Robin masters the answer when we return so do you know the answer to tonight's bio trivia who played the voice of magnums boss Robin masters it was the great film director and actor Orson Welles I just like to share this with three of my close friends mr. John Hillerman mr. Roger E Mosely and mr. Larry Manetti after winning the Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama Tom Selleck got more involved in the production of Magnum and eventually became its executive producer in this capacity he created the kind of bond between cast and crew that he had seen James Garner promote on the set of the Rockford Files that was Tom he had great love of the crew great camaraderie and he was a leader and he took his work very seriously both as an actor and as a producer he allowed for there to be chemistry on the show that's very important yeah I was his hard-nosed guy from South Central LA all of a sudden thrust in middle of all these white people in Hawaii and there was nothing there in Hawaii for me and I was not happy and they allowed for me to adjust so much so that I ended up writing for the show or directing the show and so Tom's ability to allow that to happen really was beneficial as star and executive producer Tom worked 80 to 90 hours a week helping to maintain the show's quality and high ratings magnum p.i consumed him leaving little time for a personal life in 1987 when Tom completed his seven-year contractual obligation to the show he began to change his priorities I just knew that if I wanted a family which I was thinking seriously about at that point that was time I thought to move on as good as this business has been to me it's not what life is about life is about more important things and you know we've all struggled as we get successful in this business to to balance and I certainly have at the time Tom thought of settling down he was one of TV's leading male sex symbols and Hollywood's most eligible bachelors it was quite amazing everywhere we went there were women girls everywhere just dying to to meet him to see him he handled it well and my husband enjoyed it despite all the women vying for Toms attention he had fallen in love with Jilly Mac a British singer dancer who had no idea who he was when they first met they were introduced in 1983 when Tom was in London shooting a movie while there he saw a performance of the musical Cats in which Jilly played one of the felines I was doing the show and someone said I think he's watching you what I said well where is this guy so right at the end where it's the the addressing of cats he happened to be on the area where I do the bow and we have to actually sort of peer at the audience and scrutinize them so in this how you address a cat you know and I peer around and all of a sudden I saw this guy with the moustache looking at me and there is this definite you know like bolt of of electricity or whatever going through me oh my god I think that must be him so I went back in I'm not gonna look because that's not professional and right at the end we could do one more bound we look up and there he was looking at me again I thought oh my god he is looking at me so that was that after dating for four years Tom and Jilly married in a private ceremony in Lake Tahoe in 1987 for a month they kept their marriage a secret from the press and the public something sacred and precious and I think the minute you know this that's private to us out of our private life and I think the minute you know the press get in there a mockery is made of it and you know there's certain parts of your life a lot of parts of life you don't want to share with the whole world and that was one of them Tom and Jilly had a daughter Hannah born in 1989 having a family of his own has given Tom the balance he wanted in his life it's terribly important to him and very routing it's for what all the work is about you know to provide for hammy and I and to what can grow I think if your life is just about the work it's very unbalanced and you can get caught up in the celebrity and as we know that's nonsense I mean what does it mean it's it's senseless so it's it's rooting to him the happiness and Tom's personal life coincided with an upturn in his film career he finally had the hit Hollywood expected of him with three men and a baby a comedy was the second highest-grossing movie of 1987 its commercial and critical success answered lingering questions about Tom's viability as a movie star Selleck does the best job of all one critic wrote he finally brings to the big screen the kind of laid-back win and charm that he exudes on his TV show thankful that so hard it's gonna rip I'm not gonna rip it because you are alright well ok get me another diaper I'll use the tape use the tape from the diaper I'll tape it up I'm an architect for Christ's sakes I build 50 story skyscrapers I assemble cities of the future I can certainly put together a goddamn diaper take it easy kid alright there there see it's working he said cake yeah nice job Pete it's really quite impressive physically he's just like dear God I remember standing next to him on three men and a baby and during the rehearsals going okay obviously he's the leading man I know I'll play the leading lady [Music] well three men and a baby changed my life that's a favorite it stopped some of those questions out of that I got a four picture deal with Disney with the blockbuster success of three men and a baby Tom could have moved on from Magnum and devoted himself full-time to his movie career instead he agreed to do one more year of the show out of concern for the cast and crew whom he had come to consider his family he was really concerned about doing the right thing when probably maybe his move should have been to take the ball that was rolling and and run with it he was primed to be a big megastar and I think he he wanted to be loyal to his cast and crew and you know tom was just too nice for agreeing to do an eighth year of magnum p.i universal gave Tom a generous bonus that he promptly spent on lavish gifts for magnums entire cast and crew it was a real joy I'm not bragging about it it was just it was really neat because I spent that three hundred fifty thousand on Rolex watches for four particular crew members I gave everybody connected with Magnum a thousand dollar bonus and we had the greatest rap parties in the universe and that was one of the real joys in my life he gave us all a 928 Porsche oh hey man these are these aren't cheap gifts I mean it's not like Fannie Mae candy Magnum P is one hundred and sixty eighth and final episode aired on May 1st 1988 it was the top rated show of the night I liked the way out on top and that was a nice way to take care of the reputation of a show that was so good to me but I don't think Magnum will ever be done he's kind of a living entity as I'm finding out with people everywhere I go for Tom taking a risk to become an actor had paid off handsomely but there was more to him than Magnum there would be more risks and more roles that would take him from Hollywood to Broadway according to USA Today Tom Selleck ranks number 5 on the list of top 10 favorite moustaches others receiving this honor Billy Dee Williams Salvador Dali and film critic gene Shalit when Tom Selleck left magnum p.i in 1988 he ended one of the best runs of any actor in television maintaining that same level of success as a full time movie star would be a challenge apart from three men in the little lady the 1990 hit sequel to three men and a baby Tom starred in a string of pictures that fail to fully capitalize on his talents critics again questioned whether he could make the transition from TV to the movies I knew that was gonna be a tough jury and I knew the comparison you're not only burst on the scene once and if the comparison always was well he didn't get the same rush he got when he came on a magnum I guess it was perceived to be different and I think eventually the perceptions affect reality there is a problem of typecasting that people see eelain's a certain kind of role and that's very hard to see you in other kinds of roles and I think that happened to a certain extent to Tom he's a fabulous actor who should be bigger in film than he is but I think he has a kind of style that probably is not as attune to today's marketplace as it may have been in the 50s or 60s I mean I think Tom would have been a great actor like Cary Grant or Clark Gable or Gary Cooper he has the style he has to hide his all of that but they don't make quite those movies today and so I think it's been tougher for him and I think that's part of why we haven't seen him and with a huge movie career despite his image as a traditional leading man Tom found himself embroiled in a controversy over his sexuality in 1991 the globe tabloid published a story suggesting he was gay furious Tom fought back declaring himself singularly heterosexual he sued the paper for reported 20 million dollars Tom settled for a published apology and an undisclosed sum which he donated to the University of Southern California call me old-fashioned I don't think it's right to make up a lie about semantics you're supposed to tell the truth even in the media I felt it was important to clean the tabloid press to take a stand I donated some money to the University of Southern California to promote ethics and journalism I just wanted to do something positive and out of that I got asked to serve on the character counts coalition character counts is a major national effort to try to give schools and youth organizations and communities away in a framework that isn't political and isn't religious to teach and develop character in young people we have a real erosion in the moral ozone and I think Tom's been very perceptive about seeing that there's a role people like he can play and helping call attention to this fact with character counts he has particularly been a kind of visible spokesperson hi I'm Tom Selleck teaching kids to make good choices is one of the most important things we can do but it isn't easy that's why the character counts Coalition has made this video choices count Tom's commitment to good character stems from his own upbringing his parents had taught him and his siblings the importance of being honest and acting with integrity Tom's father carried on a Selleck family tradition of giving the children a watch on their 21st birthdays as a reward for practicing those principles what was was kind of a celebration of a mutual trust saying he'd been a pretty good kid this watch I put on I don't know why I put it on for the interview ISM is the watch my dad got from his dad and there's not gold it only looks like gold he got it it says on the back to our son Robert on his 21st birthday so there was a tradition but it wasn't a material thing was much more concerned with behavior in them and a bit of a celebration ironically despite Tom's promotion of good character and stand against sleazy journalism he revived his film career by playing completely against type appearing as a gay TV tabloid reporter in in and out a 1997 comedy I got a lot of advice from some people in the business that way that was a that's too dangerous a move you don't want to do that but it was fun to play this unethical unscrupulous journalist in fact it was a key to the role you know for about a week I said how am I gonna play a gay journalist and then I realized if I was asking myself how am I gonna play a heterosexual journalist I'd be nowhere that's not what actors think about this character was gay he was rather comfortable with the fact he was gay and they're gonna cast me and that's so I guess they're gonna believe that but what was the real key was how desperate he wants about his career and he'd be willing to do anything and that was fun to tweak that Tom defied Hollywood conventional wisdom to play a supporting role after having established himself as a leading man but he saw it as an opportunity to change how audiences and Studios perceived him and it worked the strategy succeeded again when he defied the advice of industry insiders and returned to television in a recurring role as Monica's boyfriend on several well-received episodes of friends I said you can't do friends you can't guest on a show you know I'll think you're crawling back to television and I I can't think of one person in particular gave me that advice and I said why it kind of scares me I haven't done a sitcom since taxi something about a part an actor takes better scare him but there shouldn't be taking it because there's no risk you know I ended up with an Emmy nomination out of it so it's nice town closed out the 90s with another memorable television appearance but it wouldn't be in a comedy it was on the Rosie O'Donnell show and it was anything but a laughing matter what kind of scholarship did Tom Selleck have when he attended the University of Southern California visit biography.com for the answer audiences had become accustomed to seeing Tom Selleck as a light-hearted and easygoing actor but Tom's serious side unexpectedly broke through in a May 1999 appearance on the Rosie O'Donnell show he was on to plug his movie The Love Letter but the chat turned contentious when Rosie engaged Tom an NRA member in a debate about guns their awkward exchange made headlines it was clear to everybody that it wasn't right and it wasn't proper to bring it up and it's not what we were there for I don't wish her bill and she's paid a pretty heavy price for that because it was it was real clear what's also clear is Tom's view on the gun issue which got swept away in the media storm that broke out afterwards he believes strongly in the Second Amendment granting Americans the right to bear arms call me old-fashioned I believe in the Bill of Rights and I think freedom is indivisible you can't give up some freedoms and while keeping others and in this case it may not be popular in Hollywood but I think it's time some people stood up for the Second Amendment I stand up for the First Amendment the same way Tom's commitment to his political beliefs matches his dedication to taking risks as an actor in 2001 he made one of the boldest moves of his career when he made his Broadway debut in a revival of A Thousand clowns by noted playwright herb Gardner Tom earns good reviews starring as Murray burns a nonconformist uncle raising his precocious nephew in his own unique way it was the role Tom had always wanted to play since his earliest days as an actor having never done a play in my life ever it was time and and getting to do my favorite play and being asked by that playwright to do it kind of brings a lot of things full circle acting teacher said why are you doing this you will never be cast as Murray burns well the playwright cast me as Murray burns it was a big commitment it's probably the only thing that would have got me away from my family for six months in addition to appearing on Broadway Thomas diversified his career in other ways he formed a partnership with writer producer Michael brandman to make westerns for TNT including crossfire trail the highest-rated movie in basic-cable history and Monty Walsh I don't know of anyone who's more knowledgeable about that period and about the way of life of that period than Tom he's a student of the history of our country he's an innate a storyteller who understands that the legends of this country have been shaped and informed by stories of the of the West tom is no stranger to westerns he's worn chaps and Spurs in films such as the Sacketts and Quigley down under his convincing portrayal of cowboys derived their authenticity from his personal identification with the Old West I've always longed for a kind of simpler time a more direct time certainly an honest time and when I find a cowboy might sell you a horse that's lame if you don't know better but if they give you their word on something and you shake somebody's hand that are usually good for it and that more than anything else I think I find something very attractive about that playing cowboys on cable is a highlight in a career whose longevity allows Tom to put his success in perspective my career started in people's minds in 1980 very few people are working that at that level 20 years later so so be it but you know I've done I've had the number one network television show I've had the number one movie in the world and I've had the highest-rated cable movie which is where I'm really enjoying working right now you know you're stocking in features and everything goes like this but you know I'm still around I'm still working so mostly I'm just kind of grateful you know I've had a by any standard now long career and I continue to keep working and I'm thrilled people want to see me but of all the characters he's played Tom remains best remembered from Magnum the role that's defined him best role I'll ever have when we fought to not do a character that was the same every week but a character that got older changed and grew and had flaws and basically the audience lived this life with them and you get to play a character over a meter say you can't do that in a play you certainly can't do that in a movie they're all slices in time when you get to play that ongoing thing I think it's a rare opportunity and yeah it's the best role I think I'll ever give to him everywhere I go every interview I ever do everybody says when's our gonna be a Magnum movie if it services the spirit of Magnum as well as pays a bunch of salaries yeah I'd be fun to find out what what's he up to now because we wouldn't try and pick up where we left off we try and pick up some years later while this character's been away from the audience and they'll wonder what's happened to him I know they will because it asked me every day I go to the hardware store Tom Selleck is one of the top 10 male characters I've heard to be remembered on television and he's not only remembered for his role and the adventure of the role but for the humanity of the role he made a man not only macho but vulnerable and fallible at the same time not an easy task he did it better than anyone's ever done it
