For several generations, members of the family have been associated with law enforcement and played prominent roles in the New York City Police Department.
Tony Terraciano's Jack Reagan was one of the two sons of Danny, played by Donnie Wahlberg. Following his exit from the show, Terraciano went on to compete his pre-medical education and is currently on his way to complete his four-year medical degree. Here's everything we know about the Blue Bloods star.
Tony Terraciano's exit from Blue Bloods Season 5 explored in detail
As mentioned earlier, Tony Terraciano's Jack Regan was a staple of Blue Bloods ever since the pilot episode of the CBS show. He is the elder son of Daniel and Linda and had a charming and affectionable presence on screen. In terms of his temperament, he was mild-mannered, starkly in contrast with some of the other extreme members of the Reagan family.
Terraciano was cast on Blue Bloods at the age of 10 and he virtually grew up on the show, which has endeared him to millions of audiences. Almost in a bid to make sure that the on-screen character's fate is likened to that of the actor, Jack Reagan's airtime on the show was withdrawn after it was informed to the audiences on season 9 episode 5, titled Thicker than Water, that Jack had gone off to attend college.
In real life, Tony Terracino himself went to study at the Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2018. According to his Linkedin profile, Terracino studied neuroscience as a pre-medical student and graduated in 2022. He then went on to attend the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, a private school in the Bronx, New York. He is set to graduate with a Doctor of Medicine degree in 2026.
Following his exit from the show as a regular character, Terraciano has made a few guest appearances on Blue Bloods over the past seasons. His college campus is located near the shooting locations of the show, which allows him to make a friendly appearance once in a while.
