When Tom Selleck first appears, he appears dejected and dishevelled, having just expressed his “frustration” over Blue Bloods’ cancellation.
The 79-year-old Hollywood veteran, who portrayed New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in the popular cop drama series, has publicly criticised CBS for its decision not to renew it after the network revealed that the program will conclude this autumn.
He has since reportedly relocated back to his home in California with wife Jillie Mack, 66, after 14 years of commuting to and from the East Coast to film the show.
The actor was seen breaking cover last week as he emerged from a friend’s house in the San Fernando Valley.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos showed Selleck looking flushed and heavier than usual, with his scruffy salt-and-pepper beard on full display.
He was dressed down in a blue button-down shirt, black tee, shorts and sneakers, and was carrying a folder full of papers.
The outing comes as the television star has been struggling to comes to terms with CBS’s decision to pull the plug on the long-running series.
Selleck has made no secret over his disappointment with Blue Bloods coming to an end, and after show bosses announced last year that it would stop filming, he said he hoped they would ‘come to their senses.’
He expressed his ‘frustration’ with the show’s cancelation once again more in an interview with TV Insider on Thursday.
‘I’m kind of frustrated. During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted to talk about an ending for Blue Bloods but about it still being wildly successful,’ Selleck said.
