Prior to jumping onBlue Bloods, Selleck was busy playing the title role intheJesse StoneTV movie series.
Despite being played by Selleck, Stone and Frank Reagan are total opposites in many ways.
This was the seventh entry and found the unemployed Jesse at possibly his lowest point in the series.
Selleck spoke withPioneer Pressto promote the TV movie and outlined the big difference between Stone and Reagan.
By necessity, [Frank] has to be a straight arrow.
He probably has to enforce laws he doesnt agree with, but Jesse is a different guy.
Increasingly, I think of him as a small-town sheriff who makes up his own rules.
Has he paid the price?
But to Stone, his messy private life is a small price to pay for doing the right thing.
One of Jesse’s most famous lines is “I’m the Police Chief.
I know everything.”
Reagan and Stone live by different codes, but their joint quote underlines some shared qualities too.

Plus, it would be fascinating to see where Stone is a decade on from the last installment.
A police procedural set in New York City, Blue Bloods follows the lives of the Irish-American Reagan family, who has a strong family history and current powerful roles in the New York Police Department.
