Tom Selleck on "Blue Bloods" and his memoir, "You Never Know"

Рет қаралды 199,632

24 күн бұрын

The hit CBS drama "Blue Bloods" is set to end this year, but there's been pushback on that, most notably from star Tom Selleck, who over 14 seasons has played the head of the NYPD (and the head of a very headstrong family). He talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about his desire to continue "Blue Bloods"; about his pioneering '80s crime show "Magnum, P.I.," which put him on the map (and which kept him from playing Indiana Jones); and how he got Frank Sinatra his last acting gig.

Lance White (who a reincarnation of sorts of Waco Williams from Maverick) is my all-time favorite PI. Everybody knows a Lance White or two.

"Blue Bloods" always reminded me of my family growing up and the conversations we had together at the dinner table. That segment of the show always felt like HOME to me. One of the best lines I recall from several seasons ago was when Commissioner Reagan was speaking to a mobster in the hospital. The mobster wasn't at all liking or respecting Mr. Selleck's character and gruffly said something like, "I don't have anything more to say to you, Reagan!" And the response was, "Oh, come on; call me by my first name - Commissioner!" I laughed so much I missed the next couple lines of conversation. The stories, the characters, the HEART of the show is always appreciated.
