Magnum cost Tom Selleck Indiana Jones role

When you think of Indiana Jones you, of course, picture Harrison Ford in the fedora and wielding the whip.

Did you know that Selleck was nearly cast as the daredevil archaeologist?

In fact, George Lucas was so keen for the actor to lead 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', that it took Steven Spielberg some convincing to even consider other options.

Sadly, Tom couldn’t accept the role anyway, as he was contractually committed to 'Magnum P.I.'.
