Why did Andrew Terraciano leave the role of Sean Reagan? The truth behind the controversial casting change.

‘Boston Blue’: Andrew Terraciano is famous for his role as a stand-in for Sean Reagan in this film.

Blue Bloods star Andrew Terraciano recently spoke out about Mika Amonsen replacing him as Sean Reagan in Boston Blue.

On Friday, December 5th, Terraciano – who played Danny Reagan’s (Donnie Wahlberg) son from 2010 to 2024 in the CBS series – shared his thoughts on the replacement decision with Us Weekly.

“The great thing is that you’ll always remember every line and every day you had the chance to embody that character,” the 22-year-old said of his time playing Sean. “That doesn’t mean someone else can’t do something great with the role.”

Terraciano added regarding the actor replacement: “I had the pleasure of playing Sean, and I had the opportunity to say goodbye to him. Now, someone else gets that pleasure too. We both have the chance to showcase our abilities and then say goodbye to Sean.”

In October, shortly after the Boston Blue series premiere on October 17, co-creator Brandon Margolis explained the decision in an interview with TV Insider.

“We wanted a slightly different version of Sean,” he said. “We wanted a familiar character, an actor who looked like the character we’ve seen growing up. But as you saw in the first episode, he’s had life changes and, upon joining the police force, he’s really taking on family responsibilities.”

In addition to Wahlberg, other members of the original Blue Bloods cast, Marisa Ramirez (Maria Baez) and Bridget Moynahan (Erin Reagan), also made guest appearances in Boston Blue.

This spin-off also stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Detective Lena Silver, Gloria Reuben as Boston County District Attorney Mae Silver, Maggie Lawson as Sheriff Sarah Silver, Marcus Scribner as Rookie Officer Jonah Silver, and Ernie Hudson as Baptist Pastor Edwin Peters.
