Selleck May be Looking to Return to the Stage

Hollywood star Tom Selleck, who made his debut in New York nearly a decade ago, may be looking to return.

In 2001, Selleck played the lead role of Murray in a Broadway revival of Herb Gardner's comedic play A THOUSAND CLOWNS. It ran for only two months.

According to reports from WENN Selleck said, "I'll probably do a Broadway play soon. There's a lot of possibilities but it requires time which I'm happy to say I don't have right now."

He added, "As much as I enjoyed doing my first Broadway play, my first play of any kind back in 2001, I haven't had a chance to go back."

Currently, Selleck plays a New York City police chief in the new TV series "Blue Bloods," which will begin this autumn.

Selleck is best known for his starring role as Hawaii-based private investigator Thomas Magnum on the 1980s television show "Magnum, P.I." He also plays Jesse Stone in a series of made-for-TV movies based on the Robert B. Parker novels.

He has appeared extensively on television in roles such as Dr. Richard Burke in "Friends" and A.J. Cooper in "Las Vegas." In addition to his series work, Selleck has appeared in more than fifty made for TV and general release movies, including "Mr. Baseball," "Quigley Down Under," and "Lassiter."
