Which actor was originally cast as Indiana Jones?

• Tom Selleck:Tom Selleck was originally cast as the lead in the film "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Unfortunately for Selleck, he had already filmed a pilot for a detective show called "Magnum P.I." and CBS refused to release him from his contract. "Magnum P.I." would eventually get picked up and even won Selleck an Emmy, but it paled in comparison to the $1.8 billion Indiana Jones franchise. And while Lucas may have initially not wanted Ford for the role, in retrospect Lucas said, "He was perfect for the part. I can't imagine anybody else in that part."
