In a recent interview, Steve Schirripa, who joined Blue Bloods in its sixth season, praised the show’s cast for creating a uniquely supportive environment. While his comment that “a lot of actors are not very nice” might surprise fans, it underscores how exceptional Blue Bloods truly is.
Schirripa explained that in his decades-long career, he’s seen the best and worst of Hollywood. “Egos can get in the way,” he admitted. But on the set of Blue Bloods, things are different. From day one, Schirripa felt welcomed by the core cast, describing them as “down-to-earth” and “genuinely kind.”
This warmth extends beyond the cast to the entire production team. Schirripa shared anecdotes about off-screen moments, including impromptu celebrations for milestones and a shared commitment to giving back through charity work. “It’s not just a TV show,” he said. “It’s a group of people who truly care.”
He also highlighted the cast’s shared sense of purpose, crediting it for the show’s success. “We’re telling stories that matter,” Schirripa said. “When you have that level of commitment from everyone, it’s easy to do your best work.”
As Blue Bloods approaches its conclusion, Schirripa reflected on the lessons he’ll carry forward. “This show has reminded me that kindness and respect go a long way,” he said. For viewers, it’s another reason to celebrate a series that has become a beacon of integrity in the entertainment world.
