Star!
It should not come as a surprise to hear that Tom Selleck got a star of his own on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was in 1986 that he received this honor. You can see how huge of an impact his Magnum P.I. job had on his career. If you want to see it, head on to 6925 Hollywood Boulevard.

We doubt that it would be possible for anyone other than Tom Selleck to play the title character in Magnum, P.I. This is why it is so surprising to hear that it almost went to someone else! The producers wanted to cast Kevin Dobson. Luckily, he turned it down, and the part went to Selleck.
