Wahlberg\u2019s fan-favorite character Danny was previously married to Linda Rose Reagan (<strong>Amy Carlson<\/strong>), with whom he shared sons Jack and Sean, before her death. The role of Danny\u2019s youngest son was played by Terraciano for the entirety of the show\u2019s 14 seasons before Amonsen was announced as the new face for Sean in <em>Boston Blue<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I booked the show, it all happened really quickly. It was within about a week\u2019s time and I was really thrown into it quickly. I did binge watch as much as I could and I found doing the later seasons was more helpful. I wanted to get a sense of who Sean was toward the end of the show,\u201d Amonsen recalled. \u201cI really wanted to get a sense of his character at that point into adulthood and his relationship with Danny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amonsen wanted to find ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/blue-bloods-spinoff-boston-blue-surprises-with-sean-reagan-recast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrate Terraciano\u2019s performance.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:66.7%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Christos Kalohoridis\/CBS \u00a92025<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to respect Andrew\u2019s portrayal of Sean as much as I could \u2014 but also adding something to my own version. The show runners Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis have been really good at giving me a lot of freedom to explore that new dynamic with Donnie,\u201d he continued. Watching Andrew\u2019s performance, I actually noticed a lot of similarities just between us as people, and our energy. It\u2019s quite upbeat. I have a lot more of an upbeat energy myself. So that was a bit comforting. I definitely kept that within myself and didn\u2019t feel like I was obligated to change that part of me \u2014 which was nice \u2014 in terms of making it my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before filming season 1, Amonsen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/inside-boston-blues-challenges-over-donnie-wahlbergs-son-seans-romance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was glad he had content<\/a> to reference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really just exploring what would have been. Of course, it is my own version of it but at the same time we haven\u2019t seen this relationship with Sean and his dad before. He\u2019s coming into this whole new position because from what I understand, the exploration of Sean being a cop wasn\u2019t something that was on the table,\u201d he revealed. \u201cNow he\u2019s a cop in his dad\u2019s field and they\u2019re bumping into these issues both as father and son but also as coworkers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amonsen continued: \u201cAt the beginning, we get a bit of stepping on toes and Sean exploring his new boundaries as a man and as a police officer. That dynamic changes and that was something that I got to bring into that role \u2014 that exploration of him as an adult as he is navigating this new job and this new relationship with his dad.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The actor w<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/donnie-wahlbergs-boston-blue-son-wants-him-to-leave-their-shared-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as thrilled to join a spinoff<\/a> of a show with such a strong franchise.
