Len Cariou

It’s been a tough stretch for Blue Bloods star Len Cariou and his character, Henry Reagan, after getting some bad medical news. In a recent episode, Henry finds out that he’s got prostate cancer. That’s never good news at all and it set some people to start speculating. Is Cariou, who has been on the show since Season 1, about to leave? His appearance at the Reagan family dinner table is usually a must-see event.

Blue Bloods actor Len Cariou has been a part of the TV series since its first show and, well, the very first scene ever filmed. Cariou plays Retired NYPD Commissioner Henry Reagan on the show, and he’s the father of Frank Reagan, played by Tom Selleck. If you watch the show, then you know that the family dinner scene is a staple. Each episode pretty much ends with a gaggle of Reagans sitting and having some food. When the show started, the initial scene first done for Blue Bloods was this one.

Len Cariou of Blue Bloods is really happy to be working with Tom Selleck on the CBS drama and he makes no bones about it. The amount of respect that Cariou has for Selleck, even after all these years on the show, comes through in his comments. It’s something for an actor like Cariou to realize how good his co-star has been to him and the show. Both actors are experienced, for sure. Yet Cariou points out a couple of distinctions that help him in his work on TV.

However, recent episodes suggest that the tough-but-fair family patriarch’s story may come to an end soon.
