James Nuciforo, a former detective and actor on 'Blue Bloods', plays Detective Nuciforo and ensures the show stays true to real-life NYPD cop stories.
As a consultant for the police procedural since Day 1, Nuciforo works closely with the writers to ensure accuracy, sometimes sharing his own stories.
While 'Blue Bloods' tries to keep it real, Nuciforo understands the need for entertainment in a TV show.
In the latest season, Nuciforo enlisted the help of a 'legendary' Texas Ranger to assist country singer Lyle Lovett for an episode.
