Notes & TriviaGalleryCreditsReferencesCommunity content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted. I have often wondered about DeMarcus King. I can't see why Flex Alexander wouldn't have committed to the series if he had been asked. I think they didn't invite him to become a regular cast member after the pilot episode, which took place probably a year prior. But I do think he would have a great asset to the cast.

See About archive blog posts. “Blue Bloods” is the story of a multi-generational family of cops in New York City. Frank Reagan is the police chief and son of a former police chief, Henry Reagan. Frank’s eldest son, Danny, is an Iraq War veteran and seasoned detective who has some Jack Bauer tendencies. Jamie is his youngest son, a law school graduate who just graduated from the police academy. The only daughter, Erin, is a prosecutor and single mom. Another brother died allegedly in
the line of duty, and Frank’s wife also has passed away. Who made it: “The Sopranos” writing team Mitchell Burgess and Robin Green. Thumbs up: The Reagan family is a highly likable bunch. Crime fighting plus family squabbling could make for an interesting series. Tom Selleck on TV again is a huge plus, and the role requires more of him than his easy charm. Wahlberg, Moynahan and Estes are strong too. Thumbs down: The episode could be tighter. The mystery involving the deceased brother is awkwardly introduced. Flex Alexander as Danny’s partner on the force doesn’t work. Verdict: With the right balance of crime stories and family drama, this series has a lot of potential. — Maria Elena

Early life[edit]Born in Harlem, Alexander is the son of Alethia Knox and Robert Whitehead. As a teen, he began dancing in New York night clubs earning the nickname "Flex" due to his acrobatic dance skills. After being discovered by DJ Spinderella, he began touring with rap trio Salt-n-Pepa and remained with the dance troupe for three years. In addition to dancing, Alexander also choreographed for Mary J. Blige and Queen Latifah. In 1989, he made his stand-up comedy debut and eventually turned to acting, making his film debut in the 1992 film Juice.[1] Alexander also was a regular cast member of the sketch comedy show, Uptown Comedy Club, from 1992 to 1994. Career[edit]Alexander's first television role was on the short-lived 1993 ABC sitcom Where I Live, starring Doug E. Doug. Despite being critically acclaimed, the series was canceled that same year. Alexander then guest starred on episodes of Sister, Sister and The Cosby Mysteries before moving to Los Angeles in 1995 to concentrate on acting.[2] In 1996, he landed a starring role on another short-lived sitcom Homeboys in Outer Space. The series was critically panned and canceled the following year.[3][4] Later that year, Alexander co-starred in yet another short-lived series, the Steven Bochco-created Total Security. Following Total Security's run, Alexander guest starred on Brooklyn South and The Parkers, and also had roles in several films including the 1998 direct-to-video release Backroom Bodega Boyz and She's All That (1999).[5] From 2000 to 2001, Alexander appeared as Maya Wilkes' husband Darnell during the first season of the UPN sitcom Girlfriends.

In 2004, he portrayed Michael Jackson in the VH1 television biopic Man In The Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story,[7] which garnered him another NAACP Image Award nomination. He refused to play Jackson with prosthetics, but did mimique his voice, copied mannerisms and had a makeup job done to lighten his skin tone. He also refused to "cast judgement" over the singer's legal troubles of the time and said "we should pray for him".[8] Alexander returned to One on One for two more seasons, however, during the last season, his character was written out and reduced to a recurring role when the show's premise was rebooted.[9] Following the end of One On One, Alexander had roles in the 2006 film Snakes on a Plane, opposite Samuel L. Jackson, and the 2007 horror film The Hills Have Eyes 2. He also had a role in Clement Virgo's Poor Boy's Game, with Danny Glover.
