In 2021, 'Blue Bloods' star Tom Selleck paid tribute to Nick during an appearance on 'The Talk.' "I did wanna say something about Nick … You know he did one show, but when you're so good that you move a writer to write another episode for you, that's a real validation as an actor," Tom, 79, shared. "And when the crew goes 'Yay!' because he's coming back, that's a validation for him as a person." Amanda was visibly moved by Tom's kind words, breaking down in tears as she absorbed the heartfelt tribute to her late husband.
