About 1995 he was drinking at the North Burnaby Inn , when he left 3 construction workers beat him up. I guess they couldn't understand that he was an actor playing a role. The problem with fame is many people are dumb.
This show still holds up to this day. One of the best tv shows ever. Its a real shame that they couldn't have come together on a script to catch up with what the real Thomas Magnum has been up to all these years, but that ship has sailed since TC is dead
It's a great gesture, breaking the 4th wall so much. Obviously a choice of the writers/directors/Selleck. It can have two simultaneous affects---that the viewer is being treated like he's really there and a character in the scene, or that Selleck/Magnum is breaking character just a bit to let the viewer in on the fun, that this is all truly pretend. My late mother-in-law was a big fan of the show and I must've seen most of the episodes at her place when I was dating her daughter. The show would grow on a person and it was apparent that everyone in the show was having a blast making it which made it enjoyable to watch.
Great up load only Tom selleck could pull off breaking the 4th wall magnum pi was his crowning achievement.love that show it picked up were the Rockford files left off only in Hawaii. Love the original theme for the show over the one they used for the remainder off the series the new remake is total disgrace too the original series Tom selleck said in an interview he wants nothing too do with the new show I think Hollywood has gone too far with these remakes off popular tv classics ✌️
Love love this! ❤️ Magic all the way around,characters,stories. I think the most important best take-away is the very real sensitivity & dignity this show,though fictional, gave to our vets. The cheeky looks Thomas would throw out just brought you right in to "his world". This was/is the only Magnum.
