4. Tom Selleck

Talk about a living legend. Tom Selleck has had a pretty long career in Hollywood, and he’s still going strong. In Friends, he played Monica’s successful and handsome boyfriend Richard. For a while there, we were sure that the two of them were going to end up together, but in the end, Chandler won her heart. Selleck’s most notable roles over the years have been in Boston Legal, Las Vegas, and most recently, Blue Bloods. We can see why he favors roles like this; he’s always had that distinguished look about him. Selleck has a lot of experience on TV and with that comes a lot of wisdom. “I don’t feel the obligation to have a big explosion in the first 20 seconds, so the audience doesn’t turn on another channel. We are trying to make something that looks like a feature film that was bought for television, and I think we are succeeding.”

The two have really great chemistry together, and it was a joy to see him in that kind of role.
