Tom Selleck recently sat down for an interview and shared some insights about his life after Blue Bloods. The 79-year-old actor has been a familiar face on our screens for decades, with memorable roles in Magnum PI, Friends, Rockford Files, Las Vegas, and many others. He has also captivated audiences with his performances in movies like Killers, Runaway, Meet the Robinsons, Three Men and a Baby, and its sequel Three Men and a Little Lady.
Tom's most recent role was as the iconic Frank Reagan in the popular police procedural drama Blue Bloods, which is coming to an end this week. When asked if he would be interested in a spin-off of the show, he surprised everyone by revealing that he would love to revisit another one of his beloved characters.
"I'm open to suggestions because I love Frank Reagan, but nobody's really asked," Tom shared with Parade. "I don't see him retiring and going off somewhere. If he goes off to a small town, I'd rather do more Jesse Stone movies."
For those who may not know, Tom played the role of Jesse Stone in a series of TV movies. Jesse is the police chief of a town called Paradise in Massachusetts, who was fired from the LAPD due to his struggles with alcohol. Tom expressed his interest in reprising this role, saying, "It would be an interesting challenge because Jesse is older now. There have been quite a few years between shows, but that doesn't mean he isn't a viable character. Everywhere I go, one of the things I get asked is, 'When can I see another Jesse Stone?'"
Tom first took on the role of Jesse Stone in 2005's Stone Cold, where the detective investigates a series of crimes in the small town of Paradise. He continued to play the character in various TV movies, including Night Passage, Death in Paradise, Sea Change, Thin Ice, No Remorse, Innocents Lost, and Benefit of the Doubt. The last installment, Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise, was released in 2015.
Aside from Blue Bloods and Jesse Stone, Tom also gained a lot of love and recognition for his brief but memorable appearance as Dr. Richard Burke in Friends. Despite only appearing in a few episodes, he became a fan favorite.
Talking about his experience on Blue Bloods, Tom revealed that his role was originally supposed to be much shorter. "It was a lovely experience, something I didn't see coming," he said. "They just explained this idea, and you had to make a leap of faith. They didn't have a script or anything."
Tom also reflected on his favorite roles throughout his career, which include Magnum PI, Blue Bloods, and Three Men and a Baby. He also mentioned Quigley Down Under, a Western movie that has stood the test of time and remains popular to this day. Tom shared that he was initially nervous about playing a role that someone like John Wayne could have done better.
