Here's a teaser from the C&I magazine website:
Tom Selleck
Top 15 actors we love in a Western?
Tom Selleck makes the winner’s circle by way more than a nose
by Joe Leydon
Anyone who knows anything about Westerns can tell you that Tom Selleck earned his spurs as a hard-riding, straight-shooting hero in such notable movies and miniseries as The Sacketts, The Shadow Riders, Last Stand at Saber River, and Quigley Down Under. What’s not so widely known, however, is that back when he was just a greenhorn in the acting game, Selleck took a few tumbles while learning the ropes of playing cowboy on screen.
“My very first Western,” Selleck recalls, “was an episode of Lancer, the old TV series, around 1969.” Chuckling at the memory, he continues: “You always inflate your part, of course, so I felt like I was the star. And I was the star in a way — the star of the teaser at the beginning of the show.”
Though it was almost 40 years ago, he can relate the plot detail for detail: “They had this really badass guy who comes into a bar, and he has a hook for one hand, and a chain around his wrist, and a lethal German shepherd.” Selleck played a drunk cowboy at the bar who has the bad judgment to make fun of the bad guy and pick a fight. “The guy rattles his chain, and the German shepherd pins me against the wall. And that’s the end of the teaser. That’s how they establish that this bad guy is a really bad guy.

kahunagirl,
Thanks for that! I still have to get the magazine.
I wonder if that is HIS tackroom, where the picture was taken. Does the article say? Is that a picture of him charcoal- or pencil-sketched from a QDU publicity shot behind him? I hope so, since that's my favorite of his "Westerns." Interesting to have a picture of yourself in your tackroom. . . . but that certainly would be the best one to have there!

I picked up my copy at the local Walmart.
Anyone know what kind of dogs those are with TS.
Also, number 15 in the 15 Things We Love About Tom Selleck is as follows.
15. Has anyone ever been more handsome in a Hawaiian shirt?
It should have been, Or a cowboy hat, or short shorts, oh I could go on forever. They should have just asked, Has anyone ever been more handsome in anything? I know of a few ladies who would agree, isn't that right Sellecklover?
