Tom Selleck vs. Gene Simmons Gene Simmons does a stellar job playing the role of the bad guy. With malicious looks and sinister attitude he makes you want to hate him. Tom Selleck does what he does best, play the American Hero. Submitted by nephi_nabrotzky (Mount Forest, Ontario, Canada) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
