Blue Bloods cast: Meet the characters

As a detective myself, I can appreciate the grit and determination that each of these characters brings to their roles on Blue Bloods. Danny, with his Marine background and tragic past, embodies the strength and resilience that comes from facing adversity head-on. Len Cariou’s portrayal of Henry Reagan, a former police commissioner, adds depth and history to the Reagan family, while also showcasing Cariou’s impressive acting range.


After a long seven-month anticipation, the fourteenth season of Blue Bloods has now arrived in the UK, concluding the Reagan family’s tale on our screens.

In fact, the long-lasting crime series began airing its final episodes as early as February in the United States. Fans, along with lead actor Tom Selleck, are still processing the unexpected choice to conclude the show now.

As a passionate movie buff, I can’t help but share my excitement over the recent comments from the distinguished actor known for his moustache and roles in Friends and Magnum P.I. He’s hinted at optimistic sentiments regarding the future of Blue Bloods, expressing hope that the broadcaster CBS will reconsider their decision to conclude it, given that its ratings continue to thrive.

He shared with CBS News in May, “Our series ranks third among all shows airing on television. We’re currently dominating prime time. Every member of our cast is eager to return, and here’s something I can assure you – we’re not going anywhere but up.”

“We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”

Unfortunately, the network has stuck to their choice, and it seems that Blue Bloods is truly preparing for its farewell following the last 18 episodes. In July, Donnie Wahlberg, a valued cast member, expressed heartfelt appreciation for his unique experience with the series on Instagram.

To find out about the main characters and cast members as we approach season 14 of Blue Bloods, keep reading! Here’s a rundown of who’s who in the show.

Who’s in the cast of Blue Bloods?

Tom Selleck plays Frank Reagan

Who is Frank, in simpler terms? Frank, the New York City police commissioner, is a prominent figure in the Reagan family, an influential Irish-American Catholic clan with a strong background in law enforcement.

Apart from being known as Monica’s older ophthalmologist boyfriend Richard Burke on Friends, Tom Selleck is also recognized for playing the lead character in the Hawaii-based detective series, Magnum P.I., which marked his first significant acting role back in 1980.

Winning that part earned him an Emmy, but it caused him trouble with the Raiders of the Lost Ark production since he was tied to his Magnum contract, preventing him from joining the cast. Consequently, he landed roles in popular films such as Three Men and a Baby (starring alongside Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg) and In & Out.

Bridget Moynahan plays Erin Reagan

Erin, who is known as Frank’s daughter, serves as an assistant district attorney. Being divorced and a dedicated parent to Nicky, she has faced numerous perilous incidents, such as being held captive and fired upon within the courthouse.

Has Bridget Moynahan ever been involved in any other films aside from Coyote Ugly? Yes, she also played roles in movies like Serendipity, I, Robot, and portrayed John’s deceased spouse Helen in the initial two installments of the John Wick series.

As a devoted film enthusiast, I’ve made my mark on television by portraying Big’s first wife, Natasha, in Sex and the City. In an exciting twist, I had the opportunity to reprise this role in one episode of the premiere season of its sequel, And Just Like That.

Will Estes plays Jamie Reagan

Jamie is identified as Frank’s youngest child, serving as a sergeant within the New York Police Department (NYPD). In a unique turn of events, he’s wedded to his previous workmate, Officer Eddie Janko.

Beyond “The New Lassie,” where I made my initial mark at just 11 years old, I’ve also graced the small screen in various roles. For instance, I was part of Bon Jovi’s iconic music video for “It’s My Life.” Additionally, I played a significant part in the drama series “American Dreams,” which was set in the ’60s.

Donnie Wahlberg plays Danny Reagan

Who is Danny? He’s the oldest child of Frank and he used to serve in the Marines before becoming a police detective. Like his dad, Danny is a widower; his wife tragically passed away in a helicopter accident. Danny has two sons, and his current partner on the force is Maria Baez.

What other roles has Donnie Wahlberg been a part of? Besides being a founding member of New Kids On The Block and Mark Wahlberg’s brother, he is well-known for his chilling role as the troubled patient at the beginning of The Sixth Sense, and for portraying Detective Eric Matthews in Saw II (and subsequent movies Saw III and IV).

Len Cariou plays Henry Reagan

Can you tell me about Henry? Henry is known as the father of Frank and the grandfather of Erin, Jamie, Danny, and their deceased brother Joe. During the Second World War and the Korean War, he served as a marine, and he also held the position of police commissioner in the past.

Apart from his role in the Tony Award-winning play “Candide,” Len Cariou has also appeared in various films such as the Oscar-winning film “Spotlight,” “Thirteen Days,” and “Bumblebee.”

In television shows, Len portrayed the enigmatic Irish character Michael Hagarty in Murder, She Wrote multiple times, and made an appearance in the highly praised miniseries When They See Us. Interestingly, Len is just six years elder than Tom Selleck who plays his on-screen son; therefore, he uses makeup to look older in the series.

Marisa Ramirez plays Maria Baez
