The actor appeared virtually for an interview on PIX11 News, sharing new information about gearing up to film the new show in Boston, a big change from filming Blue Bloods in New York City for 14 seasons. Donnie, 55, assured the hosts that Danny Reagan will continue to root for his favorite New York sports teams despite being in a new city.
“The good news is Danny Reagan will still be a Mets fan,” he said with a smile, as the hosts laughed. “Let’s get that out of the way right now because I know they have the best record in baseball right now, the Mets. Danny’s going to be happy.”
“We tried so hard to keep Blue Bloods on the air,” Donnie added of the new show. “All of us – the cast, the crew, everybody – and honestly, when I say the crew, like, working in New York with our crew was one of the great thrills of my life, and you know, we just couldn’t keep the show going, but when CBS approached me to keep the character going, I said, ‘Well, that sounds interesting.’”
“If anyone knows Danny Reagan, and if anyone knows me, I like surprises and The Reagan’s will always just be a phone call away,” he continued. “Danny Reagan likes to use his phone, so I imagine we will pay homage to Blue Bloods as much as we can and honor what Blue Bloods started and carry it forward, and I think have a lot of fun surprises for everybody.”
