Trivia[]
- Selleck was originally cast as Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark by Steven Spielberg, as George Lucas did not want to give the role to Harrison Ford due to his past collaborations in the past. However, CBS obliged him to pass the role due to his contract, and Ford was finally cast instead.[1] Oddly, the pilot of Magnum, P.I. was delayed from March 1980 to December of that year, which would have allowed Selleck to film Raiders between June and August of that same year in Tunisia and later return to the United States to film Magnum, P.I.
- The image of Tom Selleck in the scene when Wilbur Robinson was quizzing Lewis on the Robinson Family members was taken from when Selleck starring in Magnum P.I. in the 1980s.
- Dale's design from Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, which consists of the character wearing a red and yellow Hawaiian shirt, is inspired by that of Selleck's portrayal of Thomas Magnum from the original 1980 Magnum, P.I. series.
