Tom Selleck Reaches Out to Friends Cast as He Seeks New Opportunities After Blue Bloods Cancellation
With the recent announcement of Blue Bloods coming to an end, Tom Selleck is making a concerted effort to find new acting roles. Sources close to the 79-year-old actor reveal he’s turned to his connections, particularly those from the iconic sitcom Friends, in hopes of landing a new gig.
A source divulges that Selleck, known for his work as Commissioner Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods since its CBS debut in 2010, is “a workaholic” who feels he can’t just retire. As he confronts the reality of the show’s conclusion, the actor is becoming increasingly proactive in his search for opportunities.
According to the insider, Selleck has reached out to his Friends co-stars, especially Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston. He played Dr. Richard Burke, the love interest of Cox’s character Monica Geller, and the bond he formed with the cast has remained strong since then. The source adds that he believes these connections could help him secure a role he finds fulfilling, expressing hope that Aniston might even assist him in landing a spot on her current project, The Morning Show.
Recently, Selleck voiced his frustrations about the cancellation of Blue Bloods in interviews. Despite the show being one of the top-ranked programs during its run, he feels it was often taken for granted. As he prepares for the final episodes, the emotional weight of leaving the series is weighing heavily on him.
Reflecting on the situation, Selleck expressed, “It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out.” He indicated that the end of his time as Frank Reagan will require an adjustment period as he navigates his next steps in the entertainment industry.
In a business where connections can open doors, Selleck’s outreach to his former co-stars signifies his determination to continue making a mark in Hollywood following the end of a significant chapter in his career.
