The most recent episode of Blue Bloods was the show’s 250th episode.
Ahead of its release, the 77-year-old actor answered fan questions about his role as Frank, the New York City Police Commissioner.
Frank made his first appearance in the pilot episode, which landed on screens in 2010 and has since been featured in all 12 seasons of the series.
However, one iconic episode from 2011 remains fresh in the actor’s mind when asked about his favorite episode.
Speaking with TVInsider, Selleck revealed: “The one that will always be my favorite is ‘The Job,’ [Season 2, Episode 12].
“In which you found out that Frank was in the World Trade Center’s North Tower on 9/11t was quite stirring because 9/11 was still fresh in people’s minds.
He admitted: “It was hard for me to be strong as an actor, not to break down because Frank is tougher than that.
“My friend F Murray Abraham [Leon Goodwin] but Frank doesn’t like psychologists, the episode winds up dealing with the people who get sick from being there at the time.”
Selleck recalled: “We were the first show allowed to show the Trade Center Memorial, right after it was finished. It was written by Brian Burns, who just wrote the 250th.”
In the episode, the police commissioner remembered the mission which relied on him and his partner John McKenna (Mitchell Mcguire) in the North Tower.
Together they were inside helping victims when the second tower was hit and then collapsed.
The episode shows Frank was still dealing with trauma from the things he saw as well as the aftermath of 9/11.
