Where Are They Now? 7 Actors Who Left Blue Bloods
After more than a decade on air, Blue Bloods became famous not only for its crime stories and family dinners, but also for the memorable characters who came and went throughout the series. While the Reagan family remained its backbone, several supporting stars left the show over the years — each for their own reasons. Here’s a look at seven former cast members and what they’ve been up to since leaving the hit drama.
1. Jennifer Esposito (Detective Jackie Curatola)
Jennifer Esposito was a fan favorite during the early seasons. After stepping away from the series, she continued to work steadily in television and film, taking on roles in dramas, comedies, and even making a mark behind the camera through writing and directing projects.
2. Amy Carlson (Linda Reagan)
Amy Carlson’s departure shocked viewers when her character, Linda Reagan, was written off between seasons. Following her exit, Carlson pursued a variety of acting roles, appeared in independent films, and became active in directing and producing. She has also stayed engaged with fans through social media and public appearances.
3. Sami Gayle (Nicky Reagan-Boyle)
Sami Gayle grew up on screen as Nicky Reagan-Boyle. After reducing her appearances on the show, she turned her attention to academic and personal pursuits. She has continued acting selectively, exploring new roles in film, theater, and other creative avenues.
4. Nicholas Turturro (Sgt. Anthony Renzulli)
Nicholas Turturro played a key mentoring role in the early seasons. After leaving Blue Bloods, he returned to a variety of film and television projects, often leaning into his knack for both dramatic and comedic performances.
5. Bruce Altman (Mayor Robert Levitt)
Bruce Altman made recurring appearances as New York’s mayor. After his time on the show, he continued his long-running career across stage and screen, taking on guest roles, teaching, and participating in independent film projects.
6. David Ramsey (Mayor Carter Poole)
David Ramsey portrayed Carter Poole during several seasons of the series. Once he stepped away, Ramsey expanded his work in action and superhero television, and later took on directing and producing opportunities in addition to on-screen roles.
7. Andrew Terraciano (Sean Reagan)
Andrew Terraciano practically grew up as part of the Reagan family. After the show, he shifted his focus toward education and exploring life beyond his childhood role, while remaining open to future acting possibilities.
