Premiering tonight on CBS, JESSE STONE: BENEFIT OF A DOUBT is the sixth television feature film based on the popular character created by the late crime novelist ROBERT B. PARKER. A reclusive, alcoholic police chief in the small town of Paradise, Massachusetts, Stone battles his demons while trying to balance his personal and professional lives. Co-written by SELLECK and MICHAEL BRANDMAN, the franchise is a real labor of love for the actor and a project he reveres every bit as much as his iconic portrayal of TV’s MAGNUM, P.I.. We spoke with SELLECK not too long ago and he offered his thoughts on why PARKER’S character continues to be so popular with fans. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
