After achieving a reasonable level of success as a model in print, billboards and TV ads, Selleck signed a seven-year contract with 20th Century-Fox in 1967. He turned up in a daytime soap ("The Young and the Restless"), played a recurring role in ABC's primetime showbiz melodrama,
On the big screen, Golden Boot winner Selleck, who made his debut in the unsuccessful Myra Breckenridge (1970), has created a prolific career with numerous projects under his belt.
Tom Selleck launched a career in modeling while still a student of the University of Southern California. He appeared in print, on billboards and in TV commercials and later signed a seven year acting contract with 20th Century-Fox. His acting debut took place with a guest role in an episode of “Lancer,” and a recurring role in the primetime showbiz melodrama “Bracken’s World” (1967). He was also seen in a supporting role in the made-for-TV film The Movie Murderer (1970). He also received a start in films when actress Mae West, who was impressed by his performance in a Pepsi ad, placed a young Selleck in a role of a stud in her starring vehicle Myra Breckenridge (1970).
Following his debut performance, Selleck was seen in numerous films throughout the 1970s, including a starring role in the low-budget supernatural melodrama Daughters of Satan (1972, as James Robertson). He was seen in a small role in Russ Meyer’s The Seven Minutes (1971, as publisher Phil Sanford), Terminal Island (1973, played Dr. Milford) and Coma (1978, as Sean Murphy). During this time, Selleck also landed his first starring role in the TV movie Returning Home (1975) and made his miniseries debut in “The Sacketts” (1979). Additionally, he had roles in three non-successful series pilots: the cop show Bunco (1977), the WWII adventure series “The Gypsy Warriors” (1978) and the detective “Boston and Kilbride” (1979).
Selleck eventually received his big break in 1980 when he landed the title role in the CBS detective-comedy-drama series “Magnum, PI.” Portraying Thomas Sullivan Magnum, a private investigator, Selleck’s performance was critically applauded and he was awarded the 1984 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. The role also brought him three Golden Globe nominations (1982-84) for Best Performance by an Actor in a TV-Series-Drama, which he won in 1985. The actor continued to receive numerous nominations until the popular show came to an end in 1988.
