As "Blue Bloods" concludes its 14th season, Tom Selleck is gazing into the future.

In a recent interview with Parade, the 79-year-old actor, who has portrayed Commissioner Frank Reagan in the crime drama since 2010, disclosed that he has no plans to retire in the near future.

Taylor Sheridan, the creator of "Yellowstone," is leading a Western genre project that Selleck hopes to be a part of.

Selleck stated, "A Western is always on my list, and I long to ride a horse again."

In Ventura, California, Selleck, a Western star, resides on a 63-acre ranch.

In 1979, Tom Selleck first portrayed a cowboy in the TV miniseries "The Sacketts," alongside Sam Elliott, Jeff Osterhage, and Glenn Ford. The show was based on two books by Western fiction writer Louis L'Amour. That same year, Selleck collaborated with Jerry Reed in the TV movie "Concrete Cowboys."

In 1982, Selleck reconnected with Elliott and Osterhage in "The Shadow Riders." In 1990, Selleck gained fame for his role as sharpshooter Matthew Quigley in the successful Australian Western "Quigley Down Under."

In his interview with Parade, Selleck mentioned Quigley as one of his favorite roles. "I am proud of 'Quigley Down Under,' which has stood the test of time and remains popular," he stated.

"Selleck stated, "I was anxious to play a role that perhaps John Wayne could have executed better.""

In 1997, Selleck reprised his role in the Western genre with the TV movie "Last Stand at Saber River," which received the Western Heritage Awards Bronze Wrangler for television feature film. He later starred in the TNT TV movie "Crossfire Trail," which was an adaptation of L'Amour's 1954 novel.

In the 2003 television film "Monte Walsh," Selleck's last cowboy role was set in the final years of the Old West.

In an interview with Parade, Selleck discussed the possibility of a reunion with Elliott in the future, as they both starred in Sheridan's successful "Yellowstone" spin-off series "1883."

"Sam was great in '1883,' and I love him dearly. We go way, way back, and I'd love to work with him."

Selleck remarked that although new acting roles offers aren't coming in, some individuals are considering him.

"He stated that he is uncertain about where his next job will lead him and that people often inquire about his future plans, but he is unsure what he wants to do next, excluding Frank Reagan II."

Frank Reagan is a character that Selleck loves, but nobody has suggested a spin-off for "Blue Bloods."

"The actor stated that he does not envision the actor retiring and leaving, and if he were to relocate to a small town, he would prefer to continue working on "Jesse Stone" movies."

From 2005 to 2005, Selleck portrayed police chief Jesse Stone in nine TV movies that were adapted from Robert B. Parker's "Jesse Stone" novel series.

In an interview with Parade, Selleck stated that he was unaware of plans for another "Jesse Stone" movie but left the possibility of reprising the role open for the future.

"It would be an interesting challenge because Jesse is older now," he said. "There’ve been quite a few years between shows. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a viable character. Everywhere I go one of the things I get asked is, 'When can I see another 'Jesse Stone'?'"

The end of "Blue Bloods" has been difficult for Selleck to accept.

"The most challenging aspect for me is that we had the 'Blue Bloods' family and the actors' family," he stated. "They're all my friends. I miss them. It will take time to adjust."

In an interview with TV Insider in October, Selleck expressed his disappointment over the cancellation of "Blue Bloods." CBS had announced in May that the show's 14th season would be its final.

He expressed frustration that he hasn't wanted to discuss the ending of 'Blue Bloods' but rather its continued success during the past eight episodes.

The actor mentioned that "Blue Bloods" was ranked ninth out of 100 in the Top 100 Shows of 2023-2024.

Selleck stated, "I won't become a cynical elderly man shouting, 'Get off my lawn!'"

If you were to say to the television network, "Here's a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years," it would be almost impossible to believe, he added.

The show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go. As a result, I feel frustrated and it will take a long time to sort out all of this.

The second half of "Blue Blood's" 14th season began airing in October and will end with the final episode on Dec. 13.
