Actor Tom Selleck Announces Sad News

Tom Selleck said his livelihood is on life support if his longtime gig goes under.

The “Blue Bloods” actor revealed that the hopes of keeping his ranch are growing dim after news that his show will be canceled after 14 seasons. Selleck, who plays the lead role of New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, admitted as much to CBS This Morning, according to TMZ.

“Hopefully I’ll keep working enough to hold on to the place,” Selleck said about his 63-acre property in Ventura County, California. Asked if that would be a real issue, he said the pressure to constantly bring in a paycheck is “always an issue.”

“If I stop working, yeah. Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch,” he added. In 2020 he told People Magazine how the ranch has been a respite from the frenetic pace of filming his hit series. “My relationships and my ranch keep me sane,” he said in an interview. “I do grunt work and I make the rounds. I like watching things grow. It’s a retreat.”

Selleck, 79, has been in front of the camera for more than 60 years, racking up credits on television classics like “Magnum, P.I.,” “Boston Legal,” “Friends,” and “Charlie’s Angels.” His Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series came in 1985 for “Magnum, P.I.” catapulting Selleck to the Hollywood Walk of Fame with his own star the following year.

The Detroit native has owned his ranch since 1988, according to the New York Post, and despite turning 80 in January has no plans to retire anytime soon. “As an actor, you never lose — I don’t lose, anyway — that sense that every time I finish a job, it’s my last job,” he said. “I like the fact that there’s no excuses,” he went on. “You just go to work and you do the work. And I have a lot of reverence for what I call ‘the work,’ and I love it. And I’d like to keep doing it.”

Hopefully, he added, CBS executives realize they have made a mistake and reverse their decision to axe “Blue Bloods.”

“I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses,” he said. “We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”

Selleck and his wife Jillie Mack share their daughter Hannah, and Selleck shares his son Kevin with his previous wife Jaqueline Ray. They were married from 1971 to 1982.
