But then he told him he wasn't. Also, how do we otherwise account for the phone calls with a different voice while Higgins was present? Also, how would Magnum not know the man he rescued in nam wasn't a small old englishman?
I like this Reddit user's take: "No, I’ve just started a rewatch and there is no way Higgins can be Robin. My personal head canon is that at some point, Robin basically retires and Higgins started ghost writing the Robin Masters novels and for payment in addition to getting his memoirs published Higgins gets Robins Nest but must maintain the image of Robin still being a globetrotting playboy."
Here is what Google AI says:
No, in the TV show "Magnum P.I.", Higgins is not Robin Masters; while there is a running gag throughout the series where Magnum suspects Higgins might be Masters in secret, the show creators have confirmed that they are separate individuals, with Higgins being the estate manager for the unseen Robin Masters.
Key points about this:
- Mystery element:
A key part of the show's intrigue was the idea that Higgins could potentially be Robin Masters, but this was never confirmed.
- Off-screen character:
Robin Masters is mostly an unseen character, with his voice being provided by Orson Welles.
- Series creator's statement:
The show's creator, Donald Bellisario, has stated that Higgins was never intended to be Robin Masters.
