We Need More Tom Sellecks, Less Mark Ruffalos
Authored by Christian Toto via American Greatness,
Tom Selleck destroyed the so-called Queen of Nice in 1999 without even trying.
The Magnum, P.I. alum sat down with Rosie O'Donnell a short time after the Columbine High School shooting that left 14 people dead. The host's "nice" shtick crumbled in real time as she savaged Selleck for his NRA support. He was simply there to promote his movie, but she bullied him anyway.
"Now you're questioning my humanity," the actor said following her line of attacks. O'Donnell's image never fully recovered, while Selleck has maintained his star status, in part, by never getting nasty or political.
The Blue Bloods star's nonpolitical persona is even more admirable today, and the 81-year-old is sticking to it. He appeared on CNN recently as part of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library tour. Selleck is a fan of the late president, hardly a controversial take.
The CNN reporter pressed Selleck on the current state of the country and, more specifically, President Donald Trump. Selleck wisely refused the bait.
"Well, [Trump is] certainly a mixed bag. I stay out of the current political world. Why piss off half the country when you're in the business of entertaining people?" he said.
He's right. Except plenty of artists can't stop doing just that.
The worst example remains Snow White star Rachel Zegler. The 20-something actress insulted that film's source material and, later, told Trump supporters they should "never know peace."
Her film lost a reported $170 million for Disney.
Last month, actor Alan Ritchson of Reacher fame slammed both the Catholic Church and President Trump during an angry podcast interview. His new film, Motor City, bombed at the box office.
Far-Left actor Mark Ruffalo won't stop sharing his socialist views in interview after interview. He's the anti-Selleck, spouting off at any opportunity.
Yet he wisely avoided controversy while promoting his co-starring role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The team behind the film must have been high-fiving behind the scenes as the movie broke the all-time record for an opening weekend haul.
No cleanup on aisle 4 - aka doing damage control for Ruffalo's hot takes.
Stars are increasingly political in the modern era, but the results aren't always so clear-cut.
The culture wars surrounding Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey didn't hamper that film's gargantuan box office haul, nor did its co-stars' woke comments.
Many politically active stars remain in demand, as moviegoers refuse to boycott their work. Heck, Ruffalo has five IMDb credits in 2026 alone.
Still, for some, an actor's chronic political talk, often couched in extreme or cruel fashion, is a deterrent for consumers.
Selleck never has to worry about that. He's kept the focus on storytelling for decades, and he has a fine career to show for it. A newer crop of stars has embraced the Selleck standard, rejecting the Left's "politics at all costs" mantra.
We recently saw Kevin James, Michelle Yeoh, and Neil Patrick Harris refuse to engage in political opinions during press exchanges. Their silence was noteworthy for good reason. They're the exception to the new celebrity rule.
Will journalists be pressing Zegler or Ritchson about their newest projects when they're in their eighth decade, as they do with Selleck today?
