> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > I think I get what BB was going for, though; in spite of the film being a huge hit, it didn’t project Selleck into a film career. He’s still a TV actor. Ted Danson has had a more successful film career than Selleck, albeit, Danson’s film credits have been mostly in art house-type films. If you wanted a Tom Selleck movie that unsuccessful, I’d suggest _[High Road to China](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7A7OUE6rFQ)_. That movie was supposed to start a franchise like Indiana Jones. But the initial movie did poorly and no sequels were made. ---
