Tom Selleck, known for his iconic roles in Magnum P.I. and Blue Bloods, has voiced his frustrations with Hollywood as Blue Bloods concludes after 14 successful seasons. At 79, Selleck portrayed NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan in the crime drama since 2010, a role he says he was proud to play but is now ready to move on from.

Looking ahead, Selleck has expressed a desire to return to his roots in the Western genre, a passion that has defined parts of his career. “A good Western’s always on my list,” Selleck said, sharing his hope to don a cowboy hat again and collaborate with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. His past Western credits include The Sacketts (1979), The Shadow Riders (1982), and the acclaimed Quigley Down Under (1990), a role he considers one of his best.

Despite his enthusiasm for future projects, Selleck revealed his disappointment over the abrupt cancellation of Blue Bloods. He feels the show’s consistent success was overlooked and said it’s been hard to process the ending of a series that remained wildly popular throughout its run. While open to a potential Blue Bloods spin-off, Selleck confirmed no discussions about one have taken place.

Financially, Selleck noted that the loss of income from the show might impact his ability to maintain his cherished 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California. “Hopefully, I keep working enough to hold on to the place,” he remarked.

As Selleck navigates his post-Blue Bloods career, he remains optimistic about future opportunities and collaborations, particularly in the Western genre. Fans of the actor can look forward to seeing where his journey takes him next.
