While playing a grieving individual partaking in a desperate attempt at justice may seem like it would be a daunting affair, Larry Manetti not only pulls off the part but also has a great time in the process. The actor admits he is a "Blue Bloods" fan and only has good things to say about his time on set as Sam Velucci.
"I love the show, and I watch it religiously," Manetti said to TV Insider. "I worked with Vanessa Ray, and she was so wonderful, giving, and a great actress. We got along like bread and butter. Selleck and everybody on the show bent over backward for me, treated me like a king. I never did a show as a guest star that I was so enthused and excited about." If there is one thing to know about Manetti is that he has done a vast amount of guest spots on various shows, and it seems like his time on the CBS crime-drama is a solid contender to be the best over all the rest.
His special guest appearance also is enjoyable because it is a reunion of sorts for the "Magnum P.I." players, a moment which Donnie Wahlberg commemorated on his Instagram in a family dinner photo that features Manetti. While Sam Velucci isn't at the family dinner, had he shown up, that ordeal could have easily become a candidate to make the list of the show's best dinner scenes.
