Tom Selleck Explains Why He Is Unsure About ‘Boston Blue’ Cameo After ‘Blue Bloods’ Cancellation
Despite Blue Bloods fans holding out hope that Tom Selleck will appear on Boston Blue, the actor is more unsure.
Selleck, 80, was recently asked about the possibility of reprising his role as Frank Reagan in the Blue Bloods spinoff, telling Hour Detroit, “I don’t know if I would do Boston Blue — that’s another show.”
The actor noted that technically Frank’s story came to an end.
“I think it’s partly my lot in life to make sure Blue Bloods has its place in television history,” Selleck said. “But I don’t think it’s my lot in life to keep playing Frank Reagan.”
Selleck also sounded off on the surprising Blue Bloods cancellation. “It was a huge disappointment, and I still don’t know why CBS did it,” he shared. “If you get rid of the football, we were the sixth most popular series in all of television.”
The former Blue Bloods star played Reagan family patriarch and NYC police commissioner Frank for 14 seasons of the CBS series, which premiered in 2010. Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), and children — daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) — were also central to the show.
