Selleck was not allowed to work on any other project while filming Magnum P.I. And seeing how his success rose, that’s a tough thing to handle, especially when you land Indiana Jones’ leading role in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sadly, Selleck had to turn the part down, because it interfered with his Magnum schedule. But get this, he could have gotten the Steven Spielberg / George Lucas blockbuster hit since the filming for Magnum P.I. It had been delayed. What a bad break.

It turns out that Selleck was asked to play in Victor / Victoria, a 1982 film, opposite Julie Andrews. When Selleck was apprehensive about assuming the role, it was too late when he decided he wanted it. His Magnum contract, the same one that cost him the part of Indiana Jones, was already locked in.
