Tom Selleck has been a part of my life almost as far back as I can remember. I was seven years old when MAGNUM P.I. premiered on T.V., so I literally grew up on the adventures of Hawaii’s best private eye! Selleck is such a likable and charismatic screen presence.
My wife and I are celebrating his birthday by watching my very favorite Tom Selleck movie, QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER (1990). I love this scene where Wyoming cowboy Matthew Quigley first arrives at the Australian ranch of Elliott Marston (Alan Rickman), and then proceeds to prove his prowess with a long distance rifle to a bunch of smirkers.
Enjoy, my friends, and Happy Birthday, Mr. Selleck!
Through the Shattered Lens 
“Smirkers”! They are almost as bad as “Chimers”. Neither have the fortitude to be the “Man In The Arena” so they safely sit, forever unaccomplished, on the sidelines. Selleck’s physicality make him a great leading man, and I must give appreciation to his comedy-chops in the ‘Three Men and a Baby” movies, as well as ‘Mr. Baseball’. As always, appreciate your movie choices, Bradley! Thanks!
