Tom Selleck Was on Hallmark? All About the 'Jesse Stone' Movies
When you think of the hunky, contemplative characters that have filled Tom Selleck’s resume—such as Frank Reagan or Thomas Magnum—the last place you’d expect to catch the 81-year-old actor is the Hallmark Channel, known for all things warm and fuzzy. However, Selleck indeed had a stint on the network, though it wasn’t exactly in a cozy rom-com. In 2005, the actor originated the role of Jesse Stone in the film Jesse Stone: Stone Cold. Since the series debuted, Selleck has starred in eight additional films, the last one premiering on Hallmark in 2015. Here, read all about the films, the order to watch them in and where you can find them.
