Tom Selleck, famously known for his role as New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on "Blue Bloods," didn't always foresee himself playing such a character. Before this, he made a name for himself in law enforcement roles, starring in beloved shows like "Magnum, P.I." and the "Jesse Stone" TV movie series.

In a recent interview celebrating the 250th episode of "Blue Bloods," Selleck shed light on the show's enduring success, attributing it to its focus on character development.

He emphasized that the cop drama serves as a backdrop for the complex lives of the Reagan family, which is at the heart of the series.

Despite his on-screen persona, Selleck revealed that his favorite reactions come from real law enforcement officers who salute him in recognition of his portrayal of a police commissioner. This gesture holds particular significance as it mirrors how they would greet a real commissioner in uniform.

With the show's enduring popularity and critical acclaim, both Selleck and his on-screen daughter, Bridget Moynahan, expressed their willingness to continue for many more seasons. Their dedication to portraying the Reagan family showcases their gratitude for being a part of such a beloved series and the relationships they've cultivated on and off-screen. With fans eagerly anticipating more episodes, it seems like the Reagan family isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
