- Bostonians, assemble! Donnie Wahlberg is sharing the "other Boston guys" he'd like to see make an appearance on *Boston Blue*.

- His picks include Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and brother Mark Wahlberg.

- The *Blue Bloods* spinoff follows Donnie's character Danny as he moves from the Big Apple to Beantown.

Donnie Wahlberg is trying to manifest a bunch of wicked-cool cameos for *Boston Blue*.

The 56-year-old actor revealed that he’d love to have fellow Bostonians Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and his very own brother Mark Wahlberg guest star on the popular* **Blue Bloods** *spinoff series in the future.

“I’d like to get some other Boston guys in it,” Wahlberg said on Wednesday’s episode of* **The Tonight Show*. “Let’s see, Mark Wahlberg, maybe? I don’t know. He don’t want to act with me.”

To remedy the issue, host Jimmy Fallon noted that Mark didn’t have to necessarily play himself onscreen. “He could play Marky Mark,” he pitched, referencing Mark’s past music career.

Donnie was immediately on board. “Like old, retired Marky Mark,” he replied, noting that this older version would likely be found “selling hot dogs at the Celtics game.”

But the “Good Vibrations” performer isn’t the only famous Bostonian on Donnie’s* Boston Blue* dream cast list. He also suggested “Ben and Matt,” better known as longtime pals Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, for a guest spot, too.

And heck, Donnie’s even open to Fallon making an appearance on the show if he’s interested. “Now, you’re not a Bostonian, but you do a good accent,” he said. “You would be a great guest.”

To which Fallon responded, “I would love to do it. I’d love to do a Boston thing in there. Anything.”

*Boston Blue *follows detective Danny Reagan (Donnie) as he bids farewell to NYC in order take on a new position in the Boston Police Department. There, he teams up with Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green) to solve cases and attempts to reconnect with his rookie cop son, Sean (Mika Amonsen).

While visiting *The Tonight Show*, Donnie explained that he finds himself accidentally slipping back into his Boston accent when playing native New Yorker Danny on the Boston-set show.

“It happens now more than before because I was surrounded by New Yorkers when I was playing Danny Reagan in New York,” he said. “So I was constantly on my toes and they’d laugh at me if Boston ever slipped out.”

He also said the rest of the *Blue Bloods* cast would “torment me” whenever New York beat Boston in any sporting event. “But I learned!” he said. “So now I do that to all the Boston characters in the show as a New Yorker.”
