Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, it will appear in the Sitting Tennant gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

Tom Selleck’s Indiana Jones screen test

Tom Selleck was originally going to be Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yes he was. If it weren’t for the fact his Magnum PI contract was a bit restrictive, he would have been, too. Instead, Harrison Ford got the job.

But Selleck did audition for the role. Look, here”s his screen test – with Sean Young instead of Karen Allen. Fun, huh?
