watch so many actors and I |
like his work. He’s a very |
generous actor,’’ he recalls.
“*I didn’t guest very much on
episodic TV when I was
working freelance and I
would get these things —
‘You’re too tall for our lead,
or you conflict with him’ —
there was none of that from |
bim. He was just terrific and -
actually very helpful with a
lot-of advice.”’

Just nominated for
another Emmy award_ for
Magnum P.I., along with
co-star John Hillerman,
Selleck defends his show .,
which he claims ‘‘doesn’t get
taken too seriously.”’

And he is quite insistent -
when it comes to defending ~
his two feature films, High
Road to China. and. Lassiter *
which are both raking in the
profits. He says there was
some concern when it came thatIdo
time for foreign release that —
the films would not fare well
abroad among viewers who
might regard him solely as a —
television star.

“I’m very happy with
High Road and Lassiter. -
They made enough money to
increase the number of
scripts I’m offered and that
work in feature films has
just gotten better. So I take
those as a barometer of what
people think,’’ he says.

What does the future hold
for Tom Selleck? He says he
hopes by paying his dues in
the business and building up
a solid hit like Magnum P.L.,
that he is gaining a solid
reputation which will keep
him acting for several years
down the road.

He does not have any im-
mediate plans to diversify in-
to writing or directing,
although he says he would
like to direct an episode of
Magnum before the show is
taken off the air. Currently,
with 90 episodes of
*‘Magnum,’’ two movies of
the week, three films and
over 100 guest appearances
on different TV shows under
his belt, Selleck seems con-
tent with the status quo.

**1 do a lot of work on the
scripts of Magnum, but
generally not at the concep-
tion level. | work on almost
every script that is done,
once it gets the story outline
and beyond that,’’ he says.
“I’ve found I’m a pretty
good fixer. If somebody has
something on paper and
even if it’s not right, it gives
me an idea, well, maybe
that’s not the way to go,
why don't we try this. But
conceptually, I’ve never been
able to sit down and start
with a blank = sheet.”

Onc thing that will remain
constant is his love of sports.
It’s mo accident that the
baseball caps he wears
religiously on ‘‘Magnum
PL.’ belong to the Detroit
Tigers. He really is a die-
hard Tigers’ fan
