Tom Selleck To Play NYC Police Chief ... and Star on Broadway?

As if Tom Selleck weren't busy enough, Broadway World is reporting that he's looking to return to the stage.

"I'll probably do a Broadway play soon," he said. "There's a lot of possibilities but it requires time which I'm happy to say I don't have right now."

Selleck made his stage debut back in 2001 in the lead of A Thousand Clowns.

His next project is portraying New York City police chief Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods, which has been confirmed on CBS's Fall 2010 schedule. He also plays (now former) Paradise police chief Jesse Stone in the series of made-for-television films based on characters created by Robert B. Parker. The most recent of these aired earlier this month and will be released on DVD July 27th; see Mysteries on TV: Jesse Stone for more information.
