Magnum Mania!

Never heard anything like this either. I do know he founded a repertory theatre in his childhood neighborhood of Watts in Los Angeles before he was on Magnum. He has also been in a relationship dating back to before Magnum as well.

Thanks, sounds like that (french) article was quite fancyful...

Just plain garbage, it sounds like.

Yes, i am not able to get my hand on it. It was on the net and years ago.

This article was also about alcohol addiction concerning that actor... sounds weird in the light of the present thread.

Are you sure it wasn’t someone else?

My rememberance is that Roger was mentionned.

Nevertheless, French media about celebs are known not to be watching out against hoaxes, so...

From your expertise, it appears to be gutter gossip.

Here is something interesting concerning T.C. and drinking that I noticed today. In 2.05 "Memories Are Forever" there is a flashback scene to Vietnam. It is the night before Magnum and Michelle are to be married and a sort of makeshift bachelor party that includes the bride. All four of them, including T.C. seem to be drinking what looks like Champagne, but they are drinking it out of tumblers which makes little sense (makeshift Vietnam party?). Here is a screenshot of it taken at 24:38:


It is dark, but T.C. seems to be toasting with the same beverage. Since this flashback was in season 2, I am willing to assume that the writers wanted to have T.C. drinking in the past (as he did in the pilot), but not in the rest of the show. In my mind he quit drinking after the pilot because he was the responsible role-model mentioned above and also it is hard to be a drinker and have Magnum ask you to fly you about without notice (strict FAA rules).

And of course I am overthinking this. It was just a TV show.

Not overthinking. What’s the fun of talking about the show if you can’t invent your own backstory and headcanon? Sounds logical to me!

Good observations! I waaaaay over analyze the architectural details of Pahonu on the show so welcome to the club, I guess!

Hi everyone !

Is it possible that T.C. was only proposing a toast for the gesture with his comrades-in-arms without drinking at all ?

Does Teatotaller discipline imply not to have a little sip in important occasions ?

In France, not toasting with comrades is a sign bringing bad luck...

Good point. This picture is evidence of nothing.

Yes, from a strictly logical way... but your explanation is far more elegant !
