TOM IS A BELIEVER
The Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor who is known for roles in hits such as The Closer, Blue Bloods and Magnum P.I.
Does not hide the fact that the success he has achieved over the years is not solely his, but because of his faith in Jesus Christ. While speaking in an interview with "Belief Net," he said:
"A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps, Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time."
Selleck says he always tried to conduct himself ethically, and that is what matters the most to him. Being able to live a life based on a great character and a good heart are the most important things to succeed.
