Tom Selleck put a smile on his face when he was photographed while out in New York City amid Blue Bloods’ final season.
The actor, who has portrayed New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan since 2010, spoke out about how difficult it has been to come to terms with the fact that the series is officially ending.
“My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go. So how do I feel? It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out,” he told TV Insider on October 3.
Fall Vibes
Tom was spotted wearing a corduroy jacket and a scarf while out in New York City on October 18. He paired the jacket with blue jeans and sunglasses.
With His Crew
He joined his Blue Bloods castmates Marisa Ramirez, Donnie Wahlberg, Len Cariou, Vanessa Ray and Abigail Hawk to light the Empire State Building in honor of the final season of Blue Bloods.
A Sad Farewell
They all appeared to be in good spirits after multiple castmates admitted that seeing the show end was very hard.
“It’s bittersweet. I want my job back!” cast member Bridget Moynahan said during a recent appearance on Sherri. “It was a good run. Fourteen years with a group of people, we were a family on and off the screen.”
Quite the Team
Tom admitted that he is going to miss his castmates the most now that the show is finished filming.
“What I miss most is my friends, my actor family. I had a team,” he said while appearing with the cast at The Paley Center for Media. “You always say, like in high school, ‘We’ll see each other,’ but it never works out that way. Everybody works, everybody goes this way and that way and suddenly that opportunity we had, that gift of once every eight working days seeing everybody [at family dinner], that doesn’t happen. The way our show was structured, you could always look forward to that.”
Leaving Behind a TV Legacy
“[I hope what the] audience takes away is it is a show worthy of an appointment,” Tom said. “I have great faith and have had great faith in broadcast television. I think it’s suffered from being put in second or third place. And, you know, I don’t think everybody in the world wants to spend an hour on their remote control looking at what they might want to see that night. I’m proud to say [we became appointment TV].”
