Before Starting
Blue Bloods

“Blue Bloods” has helped usher in a new generation of stars who broke out in a big way, including Sami Gayle, who portrays Nicky Reagan-Boyle. Some may think that Gayle's very first role was on "Blue Bloods," but she had a little-known role beforehand on a long-running series.
Sami Gayle appeared in the final run of episodes of “As the World Turns,” playing Hayden Lawson. A slew of other famous faces made their way onto “As the World Turns” over the years, helping to launch numerous high-profile careers.
Gayle's “Blue Bloods” co-star Vanessa Ray also got her start on the soap before she joined the main cast as Officer Eddie Marie Janko-Reagan. Gayle’s previous acting credits have prepared her well for the future, and it's exciting to think about what kind of films and TV series she could appear in next.
