Everyone thought he was going the biggest movie star of the decade!


WTF happened??

At least he sailed off in "Mr Baseball" and "1492" or maybe the other Christopher Columbus picture the next week later.

What happened?! People are stupid. That’s what happened.

Maybe he got a reverse mortgage that didn't work out.

reply

He has been working steadily in successful shows and movies since the 1970s.

That's what happened to him.

reply

not sure spent so much on farm for water he went into ad business

reply

He didn't want to be a super star.

This is something a lot of people here do not appear to understand.

Some people act for a pay check others will do roles for enjoyment and then you have the ones which want star power it feed ego.

reply

Everyone's views of being a successful actor are different. Tom Selleck found his success on television and there's nothing wrong with that.

reply

His big-time movie career never really took off, but he's been working steadily in television for half a century. Seems pretty successful, to me. One thing that probably held him back was not sharing most of Hollywood's leftist ideology. The fact that he's managed to keep working shows that there's a strong demand for his work, anyway.
