Trivia
Selleck screen-tested for, but had to turn down the role of, Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark due to scheduling conflicts with "Magnum P.I.". The role went to Harrison Ford instead. Selleck later went on to star in High Road to China, one of the many adventure films inspired by the success of Raiders that emerged in the early to mid-1980s.
In the early 1990s, Selleck had a press conference to say that he was not gay after a Queer Nation poster allegedly tried to out him. Years later, he played an openly gay character in In & Out with Kevin Kline.
He was born to a Slovak father [1] and a Scottish American mother.
Was one of many actors who was considered for the role of Superman in the 1978 film, but lost to the late Christopher Reeve. During the 1980s Selleck was rumored to be a contender for the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in the 1989 film directed by Tim Burton.
