Tom Selleck Credits His Talent And Prosperity To His Undying Love For Jesus

You’ve seen him do it all for the last forty five years, from romancing on screen to inspiring and capturing the hearts of generations of Americans. As seen in countless of his blockbuster hits such as The Closer, Blue Bloods or Magnum P.I, Tom credits his stellar performances solely to his faith in Jesus Christ. However as disclosed in a recent interview by himself, it was not always, that Tom was such a staunch believer of Christianity.

Hailing from a humble background of hardworking blue collar parents, Thomas ‘Tom’ William Selleck was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. While his father was a small time carpenter, his mother was a stay at home wife. Later in his college years, when he was majoring in business administration, encouraged by his drama coach, Selleck gave Hollywood a try. He did a fine job in a dozen commercials, after which he was approached by Twentieth Century Fox for an acting contract.

However, as God may have planned it, he chose to take a break from acting and serve the army in the Vietnam War, a decision he still speaks proudly of. After working in the film industry for 11 years, Selleck finally landed his big break at the age of 35 as the iconic private investigator Thomas Magnum, for which he bagged an Emmy.

According to Selleck, he has always tried to conduct himself in an ethical way, as that is what matter most. He attributes his fortune to Jesus Christ and strongly believes that although it is an individual’s heart that makes plans for a lifetime, it is the Almighty who guides him through them.

My boss is from Sherman Oaks and went to high school with him. She said Tom had a brother who was even better looking than he was.

“Did you read National Review in the 1980s? Were you even capable of reading in the 1980s?”

My comment was a subtle comment on how far National Review has declined. Sorry if it was too subtle.

Can you give us the chapter and verse from the Bible that provides for this exception from God for sinning?

I do not refer to the bible for anything.

You make the common error on FR that everyone here is an evangelist.

His character had an adulterous sexual relationship for several months on the show “Friends”

The operative word in that statement being "character"...

Really don't care whether you are an evangelist or not.

The issue, in context, that is being discussed is Tom's declaration of Christianity and how it drives his life.

Whether you are an evangelist or evangelical is immaterial, the Bible is the rule-book for Christianity.

Gee, too bad they didn’t make his Character a Serial Killer.
That would have been so much better.
