MAGNUM P.I. fans had a blast from the past as Larry Manetti guest-starred on Tom Selleck’s drama series BLUE BLOODS
“It’s a mini Magnum P.I. reunion, on the set of #BlueBloods this week, with guest star Larry Manetti and Tom Selleck—together again. Wishing the late greats Roger E Mosley & John Hillerman could be here, too,” co-star Donnie Wahlberg posted on Instagram.
The reunion photo features Selleck and Manetti in addition to current BLUE BLOODS cast members Wahlberg, Andrew Terraciano, Bridget Moynahan, Vanessa Ray, Will Estes and Len Cariou.
This will be the first time Selleck and Manetti share the screen in 35 years since they haven’t collaborated since they last appeared on MAGNUM P.I. together. In the show, Manetti played Orville “Rick” Wright, while Selleck portrayed the title character Thomas Magnum.
This BLUE BLOODS episode will feature Manetti as a retired cop who holds a young man at gunpoint for selling his grandson illicit drugs.
Movieguide® has previously reported on behind-the-scenes fun on the BLUE BLOODS set:
Donnie Wahlberg treated BLUE BLOODS fans to a look at what they can expect from the upcoming 13th season, as well as some behind-the-scenes fun with co-star Tom Selleck.
Wahlberg posted a clip of the cast shooting one of its famous dinner table scenes, showing off the cast of the show.
When Wahlberg panned to Selleck, viewers could see the MAGNUM P.I. star’s face mask was emblazoned with an image of the lower half of his own face — complete with his famous mustache.
He captioned the post with a tribute to his co-star, writing, “#TomSelleck = #Legend! #BlueBloods #family #dinner = #Legendary! Season 13 Coming soon! Let’s go!”
