Donnie Wahlberg is finally getting his dream of shooting a TV series in his beloved hometown of Boston. There’s just one catch: He’s playing a New Yorker.The die-hard Red Sox fan is transplanting his Danny Reagan character from the Big Apple-based procedural Blue Bloods to a new CBS spin-off, Boston Blue, stepping purposefully into the New York-Boston rivalry.
“I loved New York for 14 years working there. I loved it so much. But I would never root for any of the New York teams,” he says. “I’ve never stopped being a Boston fan. Still die hard, still loyal to the end.”
