There have been challenges Abigail Hawk has had to overcome while playing Detective Abigail Baker on “Blue Bloods,” but out of all she has had to endure, working with Tom Selleck was most certainly not one of them. In fact, her experience with the show’s star has been worthwhile and inspiring for the actress. “I absolutely adore Tom and I’m exceedingly grateful for him. He has really been a huge champion of mine,” Hawk said in an interview with PopCulture.com. “I appreciate the fact that he recognized that I had a lot I want to say in the industry and he’s a huge advocate for women.” The actress also commended his ability to see her as an equal despite Selleck being a seasoned player in the industry. “I have a seat at the table with him if that makes sense. Even though I’m much younger than him, much greener in every sense of the word, he never makes me feel less than… We talk on the same level.”

It seems pretty clear that Selleck and Hawk have a stellar working relationship on the show, and the actor that plays Frank Reagan has tremendous respect and adoration for his co-star. He even covered for the actress’s absence after her pregnancy. “Tom Selleck literally rewrote a scene around the delivery of my son, which is a pretty awesome legacy,” Abigail Hawk said in an interview. When taking Hawk’s testimony into account, Selleck is truly an amazing actor that also knows how to work a schedule in his favor no matter what the situation entails.
