Andrew Terraciano recently reflected on his experience of being recast in the role of Sean Reagan during a poignant moment aligned with his graduation day. He played this character on CBS’s long-running show, Blue Bloods, for 14 seasons from 2010 to 2024 before transitioning to other projects.
Recasting Announcement on Graduation Day
On the day of his graduation, Terraciano received surprising news regarding his role. A family member informed him that conversations about recasting Sean Reagan were underway. He shared, “They might be looking for a different Sean,” his mother confirmed through tears. Shortly after, he received a heartfelt call from his co-star Donnie Wahlberg, who portrayed Detective Danny Reagan. This interaction was both nostalgic and meaningful for Terraciano, who expressed gratitude for the influence Wahlberg had on his development as an actor.
New Direction for Sean Reagan
In July, it was announced that Mika Amonsen would take over the role of Sean in the new spin-off, Boston Blue. This decision was made as part of a creative shift for the character, who continues his family’s legacy in law enforcement.

Terraciano expressed a positive perspective on the recasting, stating, “I got the joy of playing Sean, and I got to send him off into the world.” He emphasized that the essence of the character could continue with someone new, saying, “It doesn’t mean for even a second that somebody else can’t go and do something beautiful with it.”
Looking Forward
Although Andrew has yet to watch episodes of Boston Blue, he intends to approach the show with appreciation for its legacy. He mentioned, “I plan to give it the time and the respect that it deserves.” Terraciano also stated that he would support Wahlberg in future endeavors, demonstrating a strong camaraderie between the actors.
