Who is the oldest actor on Blue Bloods?

Currently in the production for the fifth season of the hit CBS drama “Blue Bloods,” Bridget Moynahan continues to have a stronghold in Hollywood as a sought-after leading lady.

Moynahan was most recently seen in Lionsgate’s “John Wick,” alongside Keanu Reeves. She completed production on the independent film “Midnight Sun” with Goran Visnjic. She was also recently seen in the independent feature “Small Time” with Christopher Meloni.

Moynahan first captured the attention of audiences in Disney's “Coyote Ugly” for producer Jerry Bruckheimer. She went on to star in numerous blockbuster films including the futuristic summer hit “I, Robot with Will Smith, Touchstone Pictures’ “The Recruit” with Al Pacino and Colin Farrell, Paramount's “The Sum Of All Fears,” teaming with Ben Affleck in this political thriller based on Tom Clancy's bestselling novel, and “Battle: Los Angeles” opposite Aaron Eckhart. Other feature credits include “Lord of War” starring Nicolas Cage and Ethan Hawke, and “Noise” opposite Tim Robbins .She also starred alongside Selena Gomez and John Corbett for Fox’s family film “Ramona and Beezus” based on the popular Beverly Cleary characters.

Previously on television, Moynahan portrayed Natasha, Carrie’s rival and Mr. Bigs’ wife on the highly-rated, critically acclaimed HBO series “Sex And The City.” She also starred in J.J. Abram's compelling ABC drama, "Six Degrees."

With a strong interest in childhood education, Moynahan takes time to serve on the National Board of Directors for “Jumpstart” a national early education organization that works with children in low-income neighborhoods. She is also actively involved with The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a community dedicated to providing "a different kind of healing" to seriously ill children and their families.

Born in Binghamton, New York and raised in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Moynahan currently resides in New York.

A: You are correct. Tom Selleck, who plays Frank Reagan on “Blue Bloods,” will be 77 in January. Cariou, who plays Frank’s father Henry, is 82. That’s some acting magic for you. And, before someone asks, Frank’s children are played by Bridget Moynahan, 50; Donnie Wahlberg, 52; and Will Estes, 43.

Q: I know my question is not the usual kind of request for info. However, I don’t know where to look for an answer. A beautiful poem was read during the funeral service for Bob Dole about “the dash we do during our lifetime.” I would appreciate any help you can offer as to the title or the author.

A: While TV is the topic most of the time, I am open to all kinds of arts and entertainment questions here. The work read at Dole’s funeral is “The Dash” by Linda Ellis. Dole reportedly quoted the poem often in speeches.

Q: Can you tell me if “La Brea” is coming back?

A: It is. NBC ordered a second season in November. But it appears you will not see new episodes before the fall of 2022.

Q: I was a huge fan of the TV show “Felicity” (with Keri Russell) when it aired in the late ’90s/early ’00s. Is it ever going to be available to watch on any channel or streaming service?

A: One place to see it is on Hulu, which has all four seasons from 1998-2002. You should be prepared for some changes in the music. As a New York Times story in April noted, “Felicity” did not secure long-term rights to the songs in the show: “When it came time to re-license the music for DVD and streaming, the distributor, ABC Studios, opted not to bother. If you stream the show now, … song choices have been replaced with cheap-sounding Muzak and tracks by unknown bands.”

The Reagan family, then and now! Blue Bloods premiered on CBS in September 2010, introducing the world to a family of cops — and now it’s in season 13.

Len Cariou leads the family as the retired New York police commissioner, Henry Reagan; his son, Frank (Tom Selleck), plays the current PC; Frank’s son Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) plays a detective and his younger son Jamie (Will Estes) is a sergeant; Frank’s daughter, Erin (Bridget Moynahan), is the assistant district attorney and has one daughter, Nicky (Sami Gayle).

Although the show began with many other stars — including Jennifer Esposito as Detective Jackie Curatola and Amy Carlson as Danny’s wife, Linda, the six actors above are the only ones that have been part of the show from the start and still remain on the series.

Esposito left the show midway through season 3 after being diagnosed with celiac disease. In a press release, CBS said at the time that the actress was “unable to perform the demands of her role and we regretfully had to put her character on a leave of absence.”

Carlson, for her part, surprised audiences when she chose to exit the show after the season 7 finale had been filmed. She was promoted to series regular in season 2, but felt it was time to exit the show after her contract was up. Ultimately, during the season 8 premiere, it was revealed that she was killed in a helicopter crash while on duty.

“It was a wonderful seven years and I had a wonderful time there and I’m really grateful to CBS and it was an amazing opportunity,” she told Us Weekly exclusively in 2017. “I loved playing Donnie’s wife. They were like a second family to me. … He and I text all the time. We’re still very close and we’re great friends. We were there for each other for a long time. He has said some of the nicest things ever about me to the press and has never wavered in that support. He’s been super generous and a lovely person.”

At the conclusion of season 12 in April 2022, fans were concerned whether the popular drama would be picked up for another season. After posting a photo via Instagram from his last day on set for the season, Wahlberg shared his hope for continuing to work on the project. “God willing,” he wrote via Instagram at the time alongside a selfie of himself in his police detective uniform.

Later that month, CBS announced the show’s renewal for season 13, with the network’s president of Entertainment, Kelly Kahl, telling Variety that the program continued to “dominate the ratings.”

In September 2022, Wahlberg shared a behind-the-scenes video via Instagram from the crime drama’s famous family dinners, tagging Vanessa Ray, Moynahan, Estes and the “legendary” Selleck, who gave an adorable wave to the camera.
