Here’s a cast and character guide for Jesse Stone: Stone Cold. While he had been around for years before the show, it was Magnum P.I. that made Tom Selleck a star. The series followed the title character, a private eye based in Hawaii. The show was a huge success, running for eight seasons and crossing over with the likes of Murder, She Wrote. Being cast in the series famously cost Selleck the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, however, as his commitment to the former made him unavailable for filming.
While he’s mostly made his career in television, Selleck has had some notable hits on the big screen too. This includes Three Men And A Baby and its sequel, in addition to cult western Quigley Down Under with Alan Rickman. Westerns have been a genre the actor has returned too many times, including TV movies Last Stand At Saber River and Crossfire Trail. Other major TV roles including a recurring arc on Friends as Monica’s ex-boyfriend Richard, and his current role in cop drama Blue Bloods.
One role that’s won the actor acclaim is the Jesse Stone TV movie series, which is based on the novels by Robert B. Parker. Jesse Stone: Stone Cold from 2005 was the first entry, so let’s take a look at its cast and characters.
