Wow, you did the whole cast!
I got to think about that.
I am with you for James Earl Jones as Robin Master (voice).
And for Higgins I want to add to my previous choice Paul Giamatti, as somebody else has already suggested.

Paul for Higgins...agreed. Can play anything and Clive and Paul worked together in SHOOT EM' UP, and they had great chemistry. Also loved him in Howard Stern's private parts and the man in the moon, great actor and great choice.
It made me do it Higgins!!!

How about Chris Pine? Chris' father, Robert Pine, did play Magnum's father on the series...or is he too young for the part? Dunno...just throwing that out there . :D

And I still think Bob Hoskins cast as Higgins would be "jolly good".!

Ummm . . . I like Selleck a lot (obviously) but I think saying he's an A lister is aiming a little high . . .

Nothing wrong with being a B . . .

I've seen a few post for Gerard Butler as TM. How about this wild bunch for TC, TM & Rick?

How about Jason Lee from "My Name is Earl"

He dressed up as him in an episode (which was pretty cool by the way), and you have to admit, looks good in this costume...

Although he could pass for a cross between Selleck and Bruce Campbell in this one!

Thanks for the pics...I heard about that but never saw it. My kids love the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movies and I've always seen a Bruce Campbell resemblence in Lee. Perhaps if they reboot the Evil Dead flicks he'd be a great Ash.

Jason Lee or Ben Stiller as Magnum. Because whatever Hollywood tries to put out as MPI, it's going to be a parody of itself. They're only going to make money on it if they please the fans. Its just like the Star Trek franchise.

There's certainly some truth in what you say. I can actually see an MPI movie being approved as a tongue in cheek spoof. I don't know if they have the guts to do a serious job of it.
