Committing to filming a TV show is a huge undertaking for any actor. It involves being away from home for prolonged periods and limiting your bandwidth to a small pool of projects due to the major time commitment the work demands. It’s not surprising why Bridget Moynahan initially expressed skepticism about joining “Blue Bloods,” especially since she was doting on Jack, the son she shares with ex-Tom Brady, who was only a toddler at the time.
According to Donnie Wahlberg, who plays Moynahan’s brother on the show, he practically had to beg her to come on board. “She was worried it was going to shoot in Canada, and she had a young child and didn’t want to have to commute,” he told Watch!, adding that he had to unleash his persuasive skills to get her to agree. “I said, ‘I guarantee you, we won’t go to Canada… Because Tom Selleck is never going to do a show in Canada. Knowing him, he will fight to do it in New York, because he wants it to be authentic.” And true enough, the show ended up being filmed right in the Big Apple, letting Moynahan and Jack do away with tiring commutes.
Perhaps it also helped that she’s successfully co-parenting with Brady. “Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own,” she told People. “I don’t think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love.”
