The popular series “Blue Bloods,” which enjoyed a significant run since 2010, is set to expand its universe with an exciting new spin-off, “Boston Blue.” This upcoming series will follow the character Danny Reagan, portrayed by Donnie Wahlberg, as he transitions to the Boston Police Department. In a move that has captured the attention of fans, Mika Amonsen has been cast as Sean Reagan, Danny’s youngest son, replacing Andrew Terraciano who held the role for 14 seasons.
Mika Amonsen, a young Canadian actor, is enthusiastic about stepping into this iconic character. He has expressed his admiration for Terraciano’s portrayal and is dedicated to keeping the essence of Sean Reagan alive while introducing fresh elements to the character’s narrative. This recasting allows for an intriguing exploration of Sean’s journey as a police officer navigating his own path away from the Reagan family legacy that was deeply rooted in New York.
The filming of “Boston Blue” takes place in Toronto, a factor that Amonsen finds advantageous, as it allows him to work close to home. Describing his transition into the role, he reflected on how surreal it feels to take over from someone he grew up watching. He has committed to studying earlier performances to carry over key traits, such as warmth and humor, while also adding a unique perspective.
Mika holds high praise for his on-screen father, Donnie Wahlberg. He noted the balance Wahlberg strikes between being a fun-loving personality off-camera and a serious professional when the scene lights come on. Going into further detail, Mika shared how Wahlberg has generously offered acting tips and guidance, which is invaluable for someone stepping into a well-established franchise.
Before embarking on his acting career, Amonsen was a lead guitarist for a rock band in Toronto. Following his musical pursuits, he took up acting and trained at Armstrong Acting Studios. His career kicked off in the late 2010s, earning roles in various popular shows and films including “Designated Survivor,” “Suits,” and the acclaimed K-drama “Pachinko”.
In other personal updates, Mika mentioned in a past interview that he had a girlfriend who was a gifted musician, although they may not be together anymore as there have been no recent reports on his relationship status.
With the combination of returning fan-favorite characters and fresh faces like Mika Amonsen, “Boston Blue” promises to deliver gripping narratives as it unfolds in Boston’s dynamic landscape. Fans are eagerly anticipating how this new chapter will honor the legacy of “Blue Bloods” while carving its own identity.
