Hollywood is the place where dreams are made, but the number of people who get there and manage to stay is limited to those most talented and most fortunate.
Having a successful career in the film industry isn’t something many can brag about, but luckily for us, Tom Selleck is one of those celebs who has been on TV for many years.
This actor’s big break came when he was cast in the lead role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I. , which brough him five Emmy Award nominations, winning one in 1985.

Falvey Insurance raises $25,000 for RISPCA at charity golf tournament
Falvey Insurance Group recently held a charity golf tournament, “Fore the Pets”, raising $25,000 to support the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RISPCA).
The event, hosted at Richmond Country Club in Richmond, RI, brought together nearly 100 golfers to raise funds for RISPCA’s mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals across the state.
The funds will be used to provide critical services such as animal adoptions, veterinary care, and humane education.
“Our goal was to raise both money and awareness for the essential work RISPCA does for vulnerable animals, and we’re thrilled to have reached that goal,” said Jack Falvey, chief operating officer at Falvey Insurance Group.
The tournament featured various competitions, including a putting contest, closest to the pin, and longest drive. Although no-one secured the $25,000 hole-in-one prize sponsored by Balise Toyota, participants enjoyed the day’s activities, with prizes awarded to the top three teams. Raffles and a silent auction, with items donated by local businesses, added to the fundraising efforts.
Key sponsors included Balise, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, NEFCO, Minuteman Press of Johnston, Russell Morin Catering & Events, Texas Roadhouse, Gracie’s, and Wag Nation.
“We couldn’t have done it without our team’s commitment and the overwhelming support from our community and sponsors,” said Amanda Langlais, senior marketing manager at Falvey.
The tournament and reception were kicked off by Mike Falvey, CEO and chairman of the board, alongside COO Jack Falvey. Wayne Kezirian, Esq., president & general agent of the RISPCA, and Stephanie Van Patten, director of community engagement, spoke to attendees, emphasizing how the funds would directly contribute to RISPCA’s ongoing work.
In related news, Falvey also announced in August that, effective January 1, 2025, Mike Falvey will transition from his role as chief executive officer to take on the position of executive chairman. In this advisory role, he will continue to provide strategic guidance to the leadership team while maintaining his position as chairman of the firm’s board.
Jack Falvey, the current COO, will step into the CEO role, leading the company into its next phase of growth.
