The boys in blue are back — well some of them, anyways.
As rumors run rampant that “Blue Bloods” star Tom Selleck might make a cameo appearance on the spinoff, “Boston Blue,” actor Mika Amonsen is remaining tight-lipped.
While Amonsen — who plays Selleck’s grandson on the spinoff series — tells Page Six he has never met or spoken with the actor, he teases that a cameo conversation “was definitely there, for sure.”
Selleck was outspoken about his displeasure with CBS for canceling “Blue Bloods” in 2024 and has expressed hesitation about appearing on the new series.
“There’s a lot of fans that want to see it happen and there’s speculation,” Amonsen tells us, but notes that other people who worked with Selleck, such as Donnie Wahlberg, have “voices that matter a bit more.”
“I would just be happy he was there,” Amonsen says. “I know how much fans want him to be on the show.”
“Boston Blue” (airing Fridays at 10 p.m. on CBS) follows Danny Reagan (Wahlberg) and his son Sean (Amonsen) as they solve cases for the Boston Police Department and get acclimated to life in a new city.
The original show ran for 14 seasons from 2010 to 2024 and followed the fictional Irish Catholic Reagan family, led by patriarch Frank (Selleck). Frank was the New York City Police Commissioner and his son, Danny (Wahlberg) was also a cop for the NYPD, before moving to Boston for the spinoff.
Amonsen is new to the cast, taking over for Andrew Terraciano, who played Sean on the original series.
“I haven’t been in communication with [Terraciano]. I know Donnie has,” he says. “I guess through broken telephone and a degree apart, I’m sure we’ve heard each other’s sentiments.”
Though there was backlash after Terraciano was replaced, Amonsen took it in stride, ignoring Wahlberg’s advice to stay off Reddit.
“He’d be like, ‘It’s gonna affect you!’” he tells us. “It doesn’t affect me at all. I’m like, ‘Oh, whatever.’ What can you do? And there was a lot of positive reinforcement underneath those postings [of fan sentiments]. So, it never bothered me.”
Amonsen says that he and Wahlberg have become very close on and off camera.
“He’s been great to me,” he explains, adding that spending time with the former New Kids on the Block member “has been kind of like one giant piece of advice.”
“It’s more just watching him, and gathering an understanding of how he conducts himself as a leader and a producer.”
Amonsen explains that there’s been a bit of a learning curve on the show, which is his first as a series regular.
“I actually tore my wrist and injured my shoulder pretty bad, really early on,” he says.
It happened during a run where “my boot came undone and I tripped and really ate it. We’re running, we’re tackling. We’re doing all sorts of stuff. So, it’s bound to happen.”
