Selleck is an avid outdoorsman, marksman and firearms collector. These interests led him to leading-man cowboy roles in Western films, starting with his role as cowboy and frontier marshal Orrin Sackett in the 1979 film "The Sacketts", opposite Sam Elliott, Jeff Osterhage, and Western legends Glenn Ford and Ben Johnson. He followed "The Sacketts" with "The Shadow Riders" in 1982, then portraying a cat burglar in 1930s London in "Lassiter" in 1984. "Quigley Down Under" is one of his best-known Western films, although he won a "Western Heritage Award" for his 1997 role in "Last Stand at Saber River". In 1979, Selleck starred in "Concrete Cowboys" with Jerry Reed.
