NAMES IN THE NEWS : Selleck Backs Hawaii Studio Site
Everyone knew who he was, but Tom Selleck introduced himself anyway when he made an unexpected appearance before the Kaimuki Neighborhood Board.
Selleck spoke last week in favor of keeping the state-operated film studio at its present location on the back slopes of Diamond Head. A neighborhood group has expressed concern that noise and traffic generated by the studio takes away from the natural beauty.
“I care about the film industry here,” said Selleck, who has lived in the area for 10 years.
The star of Hawaii-based “Magnum P.I.” is executive producer of “Revealing Evidence,” a TV movie that could become a Hawaii-based series.
