Tom Selleck Talks Losing 'Indiana Jones' Role Due to 'Magnum, P.I'

Tom Selleck is as synonymous with Magnum, P.I. as Harrison Ford is with Indiana Jones. Imagine a world, though, in which Selleck was known for playing both iconic characters. Yes, Selleck had the chance to star as the thrill-seeking archaeologist, but had to pass on it because he was committed to starring as Thomas Magnum on CBS’ “Magnum, P.I.

So I was kind of able to stay philosophic about it and I always, I’d say I had something to put in my hip pocket, that Steven and George wanted me, that I was enough.” Ford himself has confirmed the story about getting the role because Selleck was committed to “Magnum, P.I.” “He was unable to get out of that contract,” he said at the Taormina Film Festival last year while promoting “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” the fifth film in the series, according to Deadline.
