Danny Reagan is one the two main protagonists, alongside his father Frank Reagan, in Blue Bloods. Danny is one of the third generations of Reagan family in public service. His grandfather Henry was a retired Police Commissioner, his father Frank is the current police commissioner, his brother Joe was a cop and detective in Warrants Squad, his younger brother Jamie is a beat cop and his sister Erin is an assistant district attorney in the Reagan family business. He is played by Donnie Wahlberg.
When Danny was a kid he wore a firefighter uniform, but his grandfather set him straight and told him no Reagan would ever work as a fireman in a million years. So, he switched on a police uniform as a costume and never took it off. Danny lives in Staten Island with his wife Linda who he married in 1996 and has two boys; Jack (2001) and Sean (2004). He worked with the NYPD for 15 years and also used to be a U.S. Marine veteran like his father Frank and his grandfather.
He fought in two tours of Iraq. Danny is an excellent detective, who cares about the people and he would do whatever it takes to catch the bad guy. He is willing to take a bullet for someone, even in his own family. Unlike any other detective in the NYPD, he doesn't follow orders or follow police protocol, but usually goes outside the law to catch the bad guys, which is what makes him a great detective and why people look up to him. Mostly he usually works in homicide or Major Crimes Unit. Just like his family, nobody cuts him any slack because of his father who is the Police Commissioner and his sister is a D.A. and his little brother is a beat cop. They do whatever it takes to catch the bad guys. Mostly the family always have Sunday dinners and discuss a lot of topics on the dinner table.
