The 1980s

Moving into the 1980s, and this decade brought one of Selleck’s most iconic roles, playing Peter in the Leonard Nimoy-directed comedy, 3 Men and a Baby. Selleck appeared as one of three co-leads, alongside Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson.

It’s worth pointing out that while Selleck’s movie portfolio during the 1980s may seem sparse, certainly in comparison to his work during the 1970s, this is because the actor was incredibly busy with his TV career during this time. From 1980 through to 1988, Selleck played the role of Thomas Magnum in the extremely popular television show, Magnum, P.I. – one of the defining roles of his career.
