Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tom Selleck

Ah, Bess Armstrong. What a little yummy she was!

Selleck is OK by me. Reverse mortgages can be a great thing, or a bad thing. It depends on the individual situation. It would not be an option for me. Was not a good idea for my parents. But I had an uncle who did one and it ended up being the best choice he ever made. He and his wife had no kids. My aunt died several years before and he lived 500 miles from the closest family. My brother and I.

Back to the original question of the thread...

Actors don't do commercials for the money, nor on their own initiative. Their agents get them signed up to get face time for their client. Producers see commercials, too. And when they are casting for their next show, the image of that actor in the commercial is fresh in their mind. They think, "Oh yeah, good old..."

Petticoat Junction! One of my favs! Didn’t Tom also play Uncle Joe???

^^^^^
This, it’s all marketing strategy. All of sellecks money in the bank puts little in his agents pockets.

He is an actor , so he acts.

Not sure why this is so hard for some to figure out

Got a cousin interested in a reverse mortgage.

Her kid, or more specifically her kid’s wife, has turned out to be a grasping harpy, and she’s tired of em hovering like vultures wanting for them to croak.

Thinks she could use that extra income to finance an RV and travel in what years of mobility her and her husband have left.

Another poster nailed it.
Aspiring inheritance babies expecting a ride on the coatail of a previous generations achievements get pizzed when they get zilch.

Think they need ta promote em more.
Earn your own way .... LOL!!!!



Tom was awesome in Baa- Baa Black Sheep/ The Black Sheep Squadron!!!
They partied pretty hard when they wasn't shooting down Japs.

a friend of mine did one.....they are happy with it..re searched it and said he couldn't find a downside for them...….bob

I have heard the first generation builds the fortune, the next generation maintains the fortune, and the third generation pizzes it all away.

I have a third generation friend, from back in my motorcycle period, he sure is still having a good time with cocaine and expensive hookers tho.

Quigley thinks some of you gophers might be borderline gay. They got a reverse gay program too.

Nothing wrong with reverse mortgage if you know what you are doing.

However for Tom Selleck in his 2003 film "Monte Walsh” to copy Lee Marvin in the original 1970 “Monte Walsh” almost word for word and scene for scene was a crime. Jack Palance: “Nobody gets to be a cowboy forever.”

Didn't he have a Smith 5906?

It was Kojack.

Yah, bald. Not a hair on it.....

I'm not sure why, but that cracked me up. Tom and safariman endorse a product, good enough for me.

Why give a schitt about what others do with their money?

I actually met him once! He was out near Alpine, TX, with his brother, and a group of friends, on an annual get-together mule deer hunt (Texas is not exactly known for monster mulies, but, apparently, they just liked this particular ranch/outfitter). Seemed to be pretty down to earth. First words out of his mouth (I heard him before I saw him) were "where can I get a beer around here?"

Apparently, back during the filming for Quigley Down Under, he got interested in vintage rifle cartridges. Every year, he'd come out to this hunt with a newly-refurbished antique (I initially cringed, thinking that would just destroy the value of the rifle, but then again, I suppose a rifle owned by Tom Selleck would probably have its own value in the eyes of a collector . . .). This particular year, it was, IIRC, a .45-70 (we were at dinner, so he hadn't brought it along with him). I asked him what he did with the previous year's rifle, since he brought a different one every season, and he told me that he liked to hang the rifles with the shoulder mounts of each year's buck.

Anyway, he seemed to be perfectly comfortable sitting around chit-chatting and sharing a beer with a group of "nobodies." Likeable guy.

But . . . I still wouldn't do a reverse mortgage!

My wife and I were just watching season 6 of Bosch (Amazon Prime) last night. Bess Armstrong was playing the part of a judge. Still looking pretty good, for 66.
