In recent years Selleck has appeared in the hugely popular Friends as Dr. Richard Burke, produced and starred in the Jesse Stone series and currently appears in the police drama Blue Bloods. Specifically for ‘In and Out’ and ‘Friends’ Tom dealt with quite some criticism against him due to some people’s belief that his television days were gone once and for all. Yet, thankfully for all of his fans, he didn’t take those people’s advice under serious consideration and went on to do the shows.

“In & Out and Friends were both cases where I got advice from professional people that I shouldn’t do them. In & Out for obvious reasons, Friends because they said, “It’s a TV show! You can’t guest on someone else’s TV show. They’ll say you’re crawling back to television!” You know, I believe in taking risks. I think that’s what actors need to do: They have to risk failing. So what? I’ve had a long career based on that philosophy. I said, “I haven’t done a sitcom since Taxi, and I like comedy, and I like the show!” he explains.

In his personal life, Selleck was married to model Jacqueline Ray in 1971 and adopted her son Kevin from her first marriage. However, they divorced in 1982. In 1987 he married his current wife Jillie Mack with whom he has a daughter called Hannah. He was a close friend of Charlton Heston, who he succeeded as a public spokesman for the National Rifle Association.

His 6’2” height, trim 88 kg weight and his trademark moustache make him stand out in the public eye even today. The actor has homes in California, Maine and the Shetland Islands. He also enjoys working on his 60 acres avocado farm in Westlake Village, where he mainly lives. Tom has publicly spoken about his personal experience of living on a farm and he expressed his passion on getting outside and doing all kinds of chorus, from fixing roads to clearing brush. He also jokes about it saying that he is the cheapest man that he can hire for himseld. According to the latest sources of 2015, Tom Selleck has a net worth of $45 million.
