Since Blue Bloods became so successful, Tom Selleck was willing to shave his iconic mustache for the show and fans wanted to know why Jennifer Esposito left. Despite that, Blue Bloods still came to an end. Thankfully for fans of that hit TV show, it was announced that Blue Bloods was getting a spin-off called Boston Blue.

When the plans for Boston Blue were first announced, most of the discussion was about Donnie Wahlberg headlining the spin-off. However, over time, fans have learned more about Boston Blue, and they have a lot more reasons to be excited about the upcoming series. One example of that is the fact that it was recently revealed that the former star of one of the best shows ever made has joined the cast of Boston Blue.

Boston Blue Added The ER Actor Gloria Reuben To Its Cast

As Blue Bloods fans will already know, one of that show’s greatest strengths was how talented the its cast was. As a result, when it was announced that Blue Bloods was getting a spin-off called Boston Blue, that show needed to accumulate an equally talented cast.

At first, the only actor who was attached to Boston Blue was Donnie Wahlberg, since the spin-off focuses on his Blue Bloods character. Since then, several other actors have been announced to be starring in Boston Blue.

Recently, it was announced that an actor with an incredible filmography will be starring in Boston Blue. Fans have recently learned that Gloria Reuben will be starring in Boston Blue after she previously headlined ER. Between 1995 and 1999, Gloria starred in ER as the character Jeanie Boulet. Gloria was such a memorable part of the highly acclaimed show that she later made a return to ER for a special appearance in 2008. Since ER was such an incredibly successful show, it aired for a truly impressive 15 seasons. As a result of that longevity, ER inevitably became less popular and relevant over time. That makes it less remarkable that people like Shane West, Linda Cardellini, and John Stamos starred in ER, since the show wasn’t as noteworthy by their tenures.

However, Gloria was a part of ER pretty much from the show’s start. A recurring guest star during the first season, Gloria was promoted to ER’s main cast for the second season and remained in that position until she left the show following its sixth season.

As the Television Academy’s official website shows, Gloria was nominated for an Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series Emmy Award twice. As a result of her performance as ER’s Jeanie Boulet, Gloria was nominated for that highly esteemed award in 1997 and 1998.
