Tom Selleck’s presence in “Blue Bloods” has been a pivotal factor in the show’s success, akin to Kevin Costner’s role in “Yellowstone.” Selleck, portraying the patriarch Frank Reagan, is the linchpin of the Reagan family, known for their ties to law enforcement.
While the series delves into the criminal justice work of Frank’s children, it’s the family dinners hosted by Frank that epitomize the show’s unity. Selleck’s portrayal of Frank Reagan is integral, serving as the face of “Blue Bloods.”
Co-stars Vanessa Ray and Will Estes attribute the show’s appeal to Selleck. In an interview about Season 9, Estes emphasized Selleck’s leadership both on and off-screen. Selleck’s dedication, preparation, and deep understanding of character and story contribute significantly to the show’s dynamic.
Ray and Estes acknowledge that being around Selleck has been a learning experience, given his extensive acting career. Selleck’s influence as a powerful force behind the scenes and on-screen is undeniable, underscoring his monumental impact on “Blue Bloods.”
