To everyone that has sent me birthday greetings, thank you!
Well, I am sixty. We had a little bit of cake to celebrate and then they pulled out a retrospective of Mr. Tom Selleck's life! It was very touching. I am glad Magnum PI had the impact that it did on people and I am very grateful that I am able to do what I have been doing.
Although it is very rare, one of you did not believe it is actually me. I'm not sure why anyone would fake being Tom Selleck, honestly. I am just a sixty year old guy, trying to make it in this world. I like this blog thing because it reminds me of that and keeps me feeling down to earth (not that I have ever felt anything but). So yes, it really is me. And yes, I do try to respond to each and every one of you because I do appreciate all my fans mean to me!
Take care,
Tom.

Happy Birthday! I know it's late, but I didn't know about the site until now.

This is Tom's blog. I've sent him an e-mail, and he did respond to it. Also, he is still married. :)

Hi Tom, this is actually MacGyver (you may know me as Richard Dean Anderson). Anyway, just thought I'd say hi.
11:24 PM
You know what? If you don't have anything better to do than to slam this blog, don't even visit the site. Have you ever thought that maybe he was joking around in his profile? Maybe that he wasn't taking himself seriously... So, don't go there. And before you start calling people stupid, think about all the people you are insulting.
4:16 PM
Thank you, Bonnie, for proving my point. Maybe it isn't him, (I have a good feeling it is), but that doesn't mean you need to disrespect him, and all of the other people who see this site, and read what he has to say. Yes, this is a good way to keep up with what he's doing now, and I'm glad he had decided to share his life through this blog. :) :)

Dear Tom,
My mother really loves you and especially (of course) your Magnum, P.I. character! She and I watched all your original airs as well as all the reruns. During the early 90s, when I was taking care of her after a heart attack and working part time, I recorded ALL of your 162 episodes! Then, of course, on a VCR. I actually recorded a lot more during those years, and your shows ended up being combined on my 8-hour tapes with Rockford Files reruns!!! Anyhow, the reason I'm writing you now is very interesting--I just read a July 2001 issue of the magazine, "Good Old Days", and there was an article on pp. 22-23 entitled "The Avocado Ranch" written by Donna Wiley Carpenter. This article detailed life on a California avocado farm in approximately 1931. The farm is described as being in San Diego County. Workers there also worked at South California Edison Co. This avocado ranch is also said to be about 104 miles from Eagle Rock, a suburb of Los Angeles. We thought you might be interested in this info. in case this was actually YOUR ranch back in the 1930s!!! We've heard you talk about your avocado endeavors on talk shows and stuff. If we are close to being on target, we hope you will search out this neat, old-fashioned magazine with nostalgic articles to find this issue with this avocado article so you can enjoy it, especially if it is describing either your ranch or one nearby! Please email me at "ericleeobrien@hotmail.com" if you found this blog entry to be especially interesting! My Mom says thank you for all your wonderful shows, from Magnum to your movies, etc. She has a file titled "My Men", and of course you're in there, along with Tiger Woods, James Garner, Ricky Martin, Clark Gable and Rock Hudson. We've also enjoyed your recent western movies, but wish you would "go retro" a little and do something more along the lines of your Magnum, P.I. character!!! Don't let the good old days die! Best wishes from 2 of your greatest fans, Mom & Eric.

Hi Tom
You were my idol growing up in a little seaside town in South Africa in the 80's. We had limited programs back then so when Magnum came on at 8pm on a Friday night the town came to a stand still. Our whole family would never miss an episode. I wanted to marry you back then, but I guess that I'm a little late...and in 1985 I was only 10!
Lots of love

Wow, Hi Mr.Tom Sellec :O)
I was wondering if I could get a photo of you signed to surprise my mother in law for her 65th birthday?
You are her 1st pick when we women have that wonderful conversation
on who we would pick for a hunky actor. Her name is Grace.
Thank-You

Tom,
It is so nice to get to talk to you....I love all your movies,Magnum PI and even Boston Legal... Monte Walsh was probably my favorite. My Dad loves westerns , so I try to watch them with him as he is almost 80. We both say " You are the next John Wayne " no one has ever came as close to being him as you have. We think you are the best western movie actor, among all of your other acting roles... Good Luck
Tom, we love you in all that you do !!!

To all us Tom Selleck fans who have been waiting for the demise of the number 1 hated loud mouth,ignorant,lesbian rosie odonnel for her tirade on Tom,the N.R.A. and all the honest,law abiding citizens who own guns and have kids.She said that anyone who has a gun in the house and kids,that the parents should be put in jail.And anyone who lets their kids play war,should have the state take them into protective custody.REMEMBER THAT?She posted a picture of her 7 y/o daughter in cammies and a simulated M-60 machinegun belt of ammo around her neck.Check it out on her blog or on the Schnittshow.com!!!!!!!!Give her hell Tom and Tom fans!!!!Lithiacowboy@yahoo.com

Tom,
Happy Birthday (late)!
Wanted to tell you that I am proud to be a comrade of yours loving Cowboy Action Shooting. My husband and I are involved in the sport here in Maryland. We are also both members of the NRA. We have had the pleasure of speaking to Mike Venturino and he speaks very highly of you. All of his glowing remarks are very typical of who you are!
Wanted to also let you know of a movie being filmed in Maryland--The One-Eyed Horse. They have asked some folks who belong to SASS to be extras. Why don't you join my hubby and I!! Unfortunately there is no pay for us but it will be fun--we are just extras/background folks. I bet they could find a real spot for you! My husband and I would be willing to have you stay at our home and even shoot a match or two while you are here! Just a thought!
Just wanted to say that your movies, Crossfire Trail and Quigley Down Under are our favorites.
Again, Happy Birthday Tom.

Hi Tom,
You play a terrific cowboy. Before you hang up your spurs, there is one character you would be a perfect fit playing in a remake: Will Penny. Only please tweak the ending so Will ends up staying with Mrs. Allen.
4:21 PM
Tom,
Belated happy birthday. Have enjoyed your work through your career, having been born in '48. My wife and I just watched Quigley again and found your blog googling a question.
Both of us really appreciate your western work and thought your interplay with Harmon was great fun. While you may do quite different things in the future, you've redefined and rekindled the western hero for a new generation of children while providing great drama entertainment for older audiences.
Enjoy your sixties.

Can a 67 year old STRAIGHT man be a big fan? Well, I am...along with my wife. Your Jesse Stone series of made for TV movies are the absolute best. What an awesome job you do in that part. Nice to have a TV movie without unbelievable special effects, using
G-Rated language, etc. Please keep them coming.

hi Tom
i live in England and have been a fan for many years.
i loved Magnum PI, and had all the episodes on video back in the day.
Quigley was amazing, as was three man and a baby/little lady.
keep up the wonderful work and i hope to see you in something new very soon.

Mr. Selleck,
Hi, I'm a fan grew up watching Magnum P.I. I'm also an NRA life member. I saw a recent interview with you and you mentioned gunsite. The firearm you mentioned in the interview I would like to duplicate and consider it my Vegas Side Arm. I don't know of any such firearm for purchase with your personal touch so I thought I would create it as well as ask for permission. I don't want to market an item only have a firearm that is a one of a kind. I can only hope you understand what that means to a fellow NRA member and fan of yours to own such an item. Thank-you for your time. Jeff

Tom:
I have enjoyed your work for many years in your various rolls. Thank you for your efforts on screen and for the work you do with the NRA as well.
I understand the differences between a film and reality; however you have brought a lot of your own ideas concerning Chief Jesse Stone” while playing the part. Having read the book and seen your work, I must say I do enjoy the differences and what you bring.
I simply have one question: What’s with the “badge in the drawer”? I as a Chief of Police of a small agency and retired from a much larger agency am at a loss to understand what that is all about. In reality, it would not be understood and would be a legal issue as well!
Keep up the good work! If you ever get up Washington State way, I’ll make you a special deputy!

Hi Tom,
I just stumbled across this sight and thought i'd add my two cents worth. Well i knew you were a good guy but even better now i have found out your birthday is the same date as mine ha ha. I only really become a big fan of yours when i saw you in your cowboy movies...you make such a handsome cowboy. How's the ranch going? I have a couple of nice pics of you hanging in your c'boy hats right next to the duke and my you get a lot of coments. You have lots of cowboy fans here down under.

I would like to find out how to get a autographed picture for my mother-in-law for Mother's day. She is SUPER fan!

Dear Tom,
I have adored you since the first time I saw you doing a "Close Up" commercial on TV. I wanted to meet you then. I wrote to your manager and became a member of your fan club for two years. I never missed an episode of Magnum P.I. I loved all of them. I have seen all your movies and have most of them on DVD. You are still very handsome, and have a special sweetness about you that no other actor in my eyes has. I'd love to see you in more movies or your own TV series again. I always wanted to meet you but I was never able to get to Hawaii, and now not to CA. I hope someday soon that I will.
8:47 PM
Good Day Tom,
I have a close friendship with one of your most ardant and loyal fans who will be turning 80 on February 1st. When we schedule appointments with her, she oftentimes ends the conversation with, "I'll be there if Tom Selleck doesn't call first". Please rest assured that Jane Hawkins is not a creepy stalker who doesn't have a life. She is a wonderful wife and grandmother with a quick wit and scores of friends and professional acquaintences. I am in hopes that you might see it in your heart to bless her with an email, letter, or phone call on her birthday, February 1st. Please let me know through the blog spot if this is a possibility and I will provide contact information for you.
All Best,
Rob Steele

Hi Mr. Selleck,
Although I loved Magnum P.I., I really enjoyed your performance in "A Thousand Clowns". I saw the show a few years back in Chicago. It was a totally different side of you.
It would be great to see you in more stage productions, but all of your works are very enjoyable.
Are you still a Tiger's fan?
My favorite Tiger is Polanco.
Who's your Tiger?
5:21 PM
Happy and Healthy Birthday to you Tom Selleck today 1/29/09. I love you and all your movies. I do love you in Magnum, P.I. especially and more recently all the Louie LaMour
westerns you made for TV. PLEASE, PLEASE do more of these westerns you are a natural. Truly one of the last, extremely talented, handsome actors left in Hollywood. You, Sam Elliot, Carradine brothers are wonderful together. God Bless you with all the best.
Love,
Beverly

We are watching your new movie Jesse Stone - Thin Ice... and I was telling my son you were voted the sexiest man alive... and we started searching for your information on the web.
The movie is interesting - so catch you later. Glad to see you are a regular guy - enjoying your life.

OK this is like years later but just looking up sites. I am a diehard Selleck fan and am currently watching Las Vegas in the mornings. Didn't used to watch it, only now cuz Tom's on it. Loved the Western Horseman cover and story about you and the dun gelding from the movie. My applause for a much envied long marriage - good for you - I've been married to my Magnum since 1986. Your daughter is gorgeous and glad she's into horses - I've had mine since 1970 - altho showed western - still have 3 - a roper, a reiner and a 1 mo old foal! Continued success and keep up with the hot gorgeous looks!
9:17 PM
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you. You are the first and only person I have ever sent a message to through a Blog. I am a 58 year old mom and we have just stumbled onto your Jesse Stone movies. My husband, my son and myself just love them. They are great stories, but you make them. We always enjoyed Magnum PI, and your spots in Friends, but these movies are awesome! You are a great actor who has a unique way of seriousness and calmness in your roles and we enjoy you in any production...please keep making them for awhile! I am pleased to be able to send you a message about how we feel. All the best to you!
11:43 AM
Hi Tom,
I just thought I would tell you you're my hero. I've always thought that you're the BEST!!The neat thing for me is that my 34 year old son looks exactly like a younger version of you. He knows that you're my idol. You take care and please keep doing those Jesse Stone movies. I love them.

Tom...I had met you years agao! You were kind enough to sign the only thing I had picture of me fishing. I was on break from work had only 10 min. I had no idea you were in town. I was driving on my way back to work and saw all the action. You were shooting in Riverdale, NJ. at an old style bar by the river. I ran down, ran up to you and asked for your autograph. Your humble reply there are so many people her before you. I don't know if I should. But you did. Although I thanked you. I never had the chance to truly thank-you for making that day so special for me! I have been your fan for many, many years. Your a charming, wonderful man. Who I secretly would of loved to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with. Well regardless, thanks so very much Tom Selleck!!

Dear Tom,
My girlfriend and I absolutely adore you. I've read about the story behind Magnum P.I. vs Indiana Jones and well, you're one classy guy. Somehow from across the television screen it transpires.
We love you so much, we have made you the inspiration of our bow tie company. It's called MISTER and when you see our logo, you'll understand.
You are dashing in a bow tie and it would be our pleasure to send you one from us. Have a look and let us know which is your favorite. If you are like most people who have seen them, you very well may have trouble deciding!
With great admiration,
Mister Ghadimi & Miss Fisher

As a horse owner, I wondered how many horses do you have and of what breeds? Also I heard somewhere you collect Winchesters. Is it so? Keep up the good work on the Jesse Stone series and someday would love to discuss horses with you.
From my boys Scout and Herbie!

Mr. Selleck:
Although I have been a long time fan of yours,and have seen a large percentage of what you have done, I never had the opportunity to see Jesse Stone, it seems the nights it was on, I was working and I happened to see Thin Ice tonight and I loved it. It was great seeing you on tv and what I liked about Thin Ice is that you were dealing with two different situations, which made it much more interesting, anyway from Magnum P.I. to date, you have always maintained your quality of work as an actor and you are aging very gracefully, kind of like how Cary Grant aged, and I think he did quite well in that catagory. You look terrific and we all need to see more of you on tv or in the movies. You still have that great star quality after all these years, please keep up the great work. Linda R
8:29 PM
Tom, My wife and I have been fans since the days of Magnum PI. She reminded me last night about your birthday, but she said you turned 65. Well, I will correct her on that point. She must have been thinking of me because I turned 65 on January 26th!! Maybe I remind her of Tom or Magnum...but more likely I remind her of Jesse Stone - the hardened, no-nonsense veteran who cuts through barriers to get things done. As a federal service retiree with 45 years combined military and civil service, I know what that's like!!
Happy Birthday, and many many more!!

Mr. Selleck,
I just finished Quigley again. Must have been about number 50. I think it is your best work. I am a western fan and a part time actor and would love to do a western. I can ride and shoot so if you ever need some one to do either or even get shot, please keep me in mind.

OK...I've been reading the posts on here and know how great you must feel knowing how popular and loved you are!!!
I have been your #1 for over 30+ years and still am! I sent you a birthday card & letter (which by my calculations you were 66 on 1/29/11) and would like to think that you received it. I never know which address is the best to use.
Right now, it's about 90 minutes until the newest 'Jesse Stone - Innocents Lost' and I am anxiously waiting to see it!! Congratulations on your 1st season of 'Blue Bloods'; I hope for many more!!!
I would love to be able to write to you. Too bad you aren't able to keep up with this regularly..a lot of people think very highly of YOU!!!
To my #1 from your #1~~sellecklover@sbcglobal.net

So glad Jesse Stone will return in 2012! I am from the Maritimes and when last down we tried to find the bridge you walk in the show. No luck. Anyhow, we named our second son Thomas and a cat Mr. Magnum, so I guess you have been an influence over the years. We watch Blue Bloods (my husband loves your ties) but we both agree Jesse Stone series is superb. Thank you for returning the character to us. So looking forward to seeing the dog bat his eyes while sitting in his chair. We tried the scotch he drinks in the show but prefer Glenfiddich 15.
11:58 AM
Just wanted to say that we watched Jesse Stone: On Thin Ice last night. I am a big fan of the late Robert B. Parker and have read the Jesse Stone books...but I believe that this particular episode is the best yet. As far as I am concerned you are a thoughtful,skilled, and consummate actor...as you have matured, so has your acting...in my opinion, you deserve an Emmy for Thin Ice, as does the show and the supporting cast. Keep it coming!
7:20 AM
Hi Tom I want to see I am very big fan and I liked you on Magumn PI and your other movies and tv shows. I have a moustast just like yours. I would hope you will reply as I would really love that. I will also like an email address if you have one. Regards Stevie Lenihan.

Dear Tom, I have been a fan of your since I saw you do a "uie" with Mr Masters car for the first ad for Magnum P.I. I have posters of your vollyball olympic play and most all of your movies. Have copies of all your westerns,Jessie Stone series, and all your movies. It is in my bucket-list to see you in person before I die. I am an 88yr woman,married with 2 children. I was very happy to know that you married Jillie and have a daughter. Your shows have been good, clean, not too violent. Blue Bloods shows very good family values, table manners and moral values at work. I hope you never have to retire. You will be a hard act to follow.
May God bless you & your family,
Anita
