He was that old?!? Wow. Always thought he was my parents' age (Mid-60s) But RIP.

Loved him in The Mack.

Magnum PI started airing about 42 years ago. He was definitely not 20-something when it aired. Mosley was in his early 40s when that started and Selleck was in his mid 30s.

Stephen Hill, who plays TC in the new Magnum, posted a tribute.



Mosley did appear in a couple of episodes of the new Magnum.

Ah, that's too bad. I didn't watch Magnum a lot, but I liked T.C. My dad always had a laugh attack when T.C. said, "Higgie baby".

Grew up watching the show. Magnum, Rick and TC. They really lucked out on the casting because they had great chemistry on screen. You believed those guys had seen serious sh!t in Nam and were grateful to have survived it and were brothers for life.

It really bummed me out when Hillerman died that there could never be the follow up feature that Selleck wanted, and now Mosley. To think a lot of the supporting characters are gone, too. Ice Pick, Agatha, Lt. MacReynolds, Michelle, Doc Ibold, Buck Greene,...

When I saw the age I assumed we were talking about Higgins who died in 2017 Had no idea the cast was getting up there or even that Selec is now 77, he still seems and acts younger from what I have seen him in recently. Christ magnum is older than my parents but acts more like someone in his late 60s or early 70s at best.

That too bad. I watched Magnum P.I. a lot in reruns in the late 80s and early 90s. TC was such a cool character. I always thought he, Rick, and Magnum would be fun to hang out with.

I remember for years, probably in the mid to late 90s, Selleck wanted to do a Magnum PI reunion as a feature film with the entire original cast. Selleck was already doing feature films and didn't want to go back to TV. But, apparently Universal just never had the interest. Such a shame.
