I always thought the major drawback with Selleck as a film actor was his voice.
.... his voice has never matched his image. His voice makes him sound like a wuss..
as Ford would say......"if the shoe fits"

So what the hell happened? 
Here was a guy who had the rugged looks, comic ability & timing, and even producer's clout, yet his career never quite "took off" in the leading man sense like, say, George Clooney's (already an Oscar winner) has. Selleck is likable, for sure, and in his defense he *has* worked on many TV movies (including the "Jesse Stone" films), commercials, done voiceovers and has maintained his career in that he's working, but for someone who was once hailed (IIRC) as the "next Clark Gable", Selleck's post-MAGNUM, P.I. career isn't what I thought it would be.
Your thoughts?
Simply bad luck to be honest.
They only reason he didnt do Indian Jones was because he had a commitment to Magnum. Yet that was delayed before shooting, and he then had enough time to film Indiana jones.
Unfortunately for him, Harrison Ford got the role.
Selleck got magnum, and the rest is history.
I think its simply that some actors are forever associated with their characters, who are iconic throughout the world.
Selleck is an icon for his Magnum role, just like Hasselhoff is an icon for his Knight Rider and Baywatch roles.
Still, i think Selleck has done really well,
in particular he had a good run in the Friends sitcom as well.
And he had several hit movies with 3 men little lady etc

indeed about QUIGLEY...after that excellent film, I was hoping to see more Quigley adventures...they could have taken that charater to a lot of places -- Selleck certainly has the chops...Selleck's STONE character really proves that!
