Selleck actually did theater work as well. In 2001, he played Murray in the Broadway adaptation of A Thousand Clowns. Sadly, he received a lot of backlash for his performance. Many people believed that he was unable to top the portrayal by Jason Robards, Jr. in the film version. The playwright, meanwhile, defended the actor and explained that he intentionally wrote the character that way.

Selleck had several qualities that would make him a great Western star. Let’s not forget that he was a marksman, firearms collector, and outdoorsman! He would become famous after starring in hits like Quigley Down Under, The Shadow Riders, The Sacketts, and Crossfire Trail.
