This weekend I watched 12 Mile Road for the first time. Does anyone know where it was filmed at or have other information about this film?

According to IMDB it was filmed in the Calgary area, which was supposed to be Idaho, and, this should interest you, the Farm in the Book the Movie was based on is in Iowa. It's a nice little movie isn't it? Wendy Crewson and Anna Gunn are two of my favorite actresses and I loved seeing them interact with our boy TS........

It is a nice movie. I live in a rural area and it reminds me a lot of home. Thank you for the information.

FYI: In 12 Mile Road, Wendy Crewson plays TS's wife for the second time. She also was his wife in the movie Folks!.

I remember this being the general consensus in the press as well- even among people that were very anti-gun.

Selleck was there to promote The Love Letter, which had the unenviable task of opening against the (then) first Star Wars film in 16 years. So he was basically ambushed twice in the same week.

About Tom Selleck as Mr. Nice Guy, i think that's why the show works so fine, they are all in some way giving the best of their own personnality. Hillerman enjoyed to live alone and Higgins majordomo is one of his streak heightened to main character.
And then the meeting of Hillerman and Selleck wasn't predictable to be so perfect, some things could never be done on purpose, it's just luck, affinities and a great bunch of writers (who take a fancy to this funny couple)

Has anyone on the board written to TS for an autograph? I was thinking about writing to get a photo for my office. I am a middle school assistant principal and thought it may be good to show what a positive role model looks like to students.

I've just finished watching a documentary on Tom Selleck on the Bio channel (a UK channel that specializes in TV biographies). It was quite interesting to find out what Selleck had done since Magnum. His career seemed to have covered almost every kind of role in the industry from cowboy's (in various films and TV shows) to homosexuals (the movie In and Out).

I was working from home one day last week and had one of the early morning shows on in the other room, when I heard a familiar voice coming through the room. Yes, TS, and an OJ commercial that seemed new to me. Turns out it was a new one ...

Orange juice slowly cascades into a glass and splashes up its sides. Tom Selleck's smooth bass resonates in the background.

"Once a day you can help support your immune system," he says. "… Once a day you can get a unique, all-natural power pack of essential vitamins and minerals."

"Maybe," he pauses. "Once a day is not enough."

In more ways than one?

WOW makes me shiver even to think about him saying "Once a day is not enough"

Apparently before he was famous, TS was a contestant on the Dating Game twice and lost twice. Anybody know this? I sure didn't. It was an answer on a multiple choice "game show" questionnaire that I did at work today. Who would have thought he would have dating issues when he became a PI.

I have seen him talk about his Dating Game experience in interviews before. He also talks about gettnig one of his first jobs, a Pepsi commercial, because he can dunk a basketball.
