Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
The biggest problem with using a new Ferrari is that TM would never in 100 years be able to afford to replace any part on it. Even a new windscreen would be out of the question haha
That reminds me of the time....
Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
I'm trying to figure out if that is Diamondhead Studios (Hawaii Film Office) the car is in front of...I'm guessing it's a Sergio (say it like Ricardo Mantalban)

I think it's possible that it is the new Bungalow area.Steve wrote:I'm trying to figure out if that is Diamondhead Studios (Hawaii Film Office) the car is in front of...I'm guessing it's a Sergio (say it like Ricardo Mantalban)

He couldn't afford to pay for the repairs back in the 80's either.☨magnum.t wrote:The biggest problem with using a new Ferrari is that TM would never in 100 years be able to afford to replace any part on it. Even a new windscreen would be out of the question haha


I'm hoping there is a red Ferrari 488 Spider under that cover!

He has the right physique and some attitude too.
Time will tell!
Thanks Steve and RG!
Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
Check out this article that talks about Larry selling his Chicago condo. It mentions that he will be in the reboot!

YES! Love it!Rembrandt's Girl wrote:From Lenkov's instagram yesterday... I love that they're (presumably) incorporating it. It'll be fun to see what else they "bring back"!

Umm... Not feeling it! I'm glad the guy has "street creed" and all, which T.C. (and Mosley) most certainly did, but he has almost zero real acting credits! Almost everything is "uncredited"! Of all the big, black actors roaming around L.A., they couldn't have found somebody with more acting credits? He could turn out to be a good actor, but man... surprising! Roger E. Mosley acted in a ton of stuff before he clawed his way out of Watts and landed the role of T.C. in Magnum! He must have done really well on his screen test, which, truthfully, good for him! I hope he does well. I really do. Go for it, man! Own it!Steve wrote:They just announced who will be playing T.C...David Dunston...

Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
Great points JJ... so he's probably coming very cheap. And not that I'm an expert, but the acting in Lenkov's other productions isn't exactly the greatest. Not that I'm an expert, but when I'm watching a show (ie the new H50) and I find myself THINKING about their acting while I'm watching instead of paying attention to what the actor is saying, then I know they're bad.J.J.

Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
I will say this about Mr. Dunston, he is obviously a go getter, a hustler and must have a hell of an agent. He has appeared in over 50 productions in just 2017 and 2018. If this is all true, I say go for it David. Tom Selleck had how many failed pilots before he hit it big with Magnum, pi......

Lenkov's latest Instagram post... TM's surf ski?



Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
Zachary Knighton (FlashForward, Happy Endings) To Play Rick In Magnum P.I. So we just do not know who will play T.C.
A former door gunner with the Marines, Rick (Knighton) now runs Oahu’s coolest nightclub. According to Magnum, Rick is well connected–if you want something on the island, Rick is the man to see. He is one of Magnum’s loyal group of friends who were all POWs in Iraq together. In the original series, the role was played by Larry Manetti.

Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
so if the David Dunston as TC is true, they should be about ready to go....... Nothing on IMDB yet but I did find this that Thomas and TC can use as blackmail on Zachary as RickCore 4 wrote:Zachary Knighton (FlashForward, Happy Endings) To Play Rick In Magnum P.I.

Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
Not that it means anything, but I have never heard of any of these people. When CBS re-made Hawaii Five-0, all 4 of the main cast were relatively well known.
