Stephen Hill enjoys the brotherhood of Magnum, Rick, and TC on 'Magnum, P.I.'
Life on the island of Oahu isn’t safe for Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez), Rick (Zachary Knighton) and TC (Stephen Hill) ever since they learned of the murder of Captain Buck Greene (James Remar), and discovered he was tortured before his death to reveal their identities.
But luckily, they have each other’s back, and as a result, they were eventually able to capture one of the men who was hired to kill them, only to discover that he didn’t know who the money man was. But the big shocker was the reveal that the money paying for the hit came from the CIA's budget. And this is a story that will play out over the rest of the season, rather than being resolved in a week like the majority of Magnum’s cases.
Watching the trio of friends work together like a band of brothers to solve Green’s murder is one of the attractions of Magnum, P.I., and for Hill, it is also what attracted him to the role of Theodore Calvin (TC) initially.
“I’ve always wanted to be on a show that had a brotherhood,” he says. “One of my favorite shows was Entourage. They were a serious band of brothers that were so loyal to each other that money didn’t matter, nothing mattered. I was like, ‘Oh, my God. It must be so cool to play something like that.’ And then I am blessed enough to end up on a show like Magnum P.I., where it’s about this brotherhood of guys that went to a POW camp and escaped.’”This season’s story arc brings Magnum, Rick and TC even closer together than usual with their fight to survive, but it’s also a plus for the audience.
“When we’re getting hunted, it puts us in a place where the audience is like, ‘Oh, man! How are these guys going to make it out of this one literally alive?’ Hill continues. “I think it definitely does bring us closer together and gives the audience a nice amount of thrills and anticipation as to what’s going to happen.”
