RIP Andre Braugher

[ZeroSum]

Andre Braugher, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ and ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’ Star, Dies at 61

Wow. I first saw him in Homicide - he was great in that. He was superb in Nine-Nine

 

[Jedisushi]

Way, way too young. Rest in peace.

 

[BROTHERFOSTER]

So sad and so young. Rest in peace.

 

[The Terminator]

I'm guessing cancer as always. *SIGH*

Awesome actor. Very sad

Oh... We are in the middle of re-watching Brooklyn 99 for the 5th time, this is so sad... RIP Sir.

‘Blessed with incredible gravitas’: how Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Andre Braugher was a talent like no other

From award-winning Shakespearean roles to changing the face of TV in gritty dramas, the actor was astonishing at everything he tried. Not least, his laser-focused deadpan turn as Raymond HoltAndre Braugher, Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor, dies aged 61

I just saw this article - the use of the word "gravitas" can't be a coincidence. I always think of this scene whenever I hear the word:

Too soon for such great talent. Saw the whole series "The Good Fight" and his appearance in the last part of it was a joy to see as well as in "Brooklyn Nine Nine"...RIP sir

I always remembered him as Thomas from Glory.

Man this hits hard!

I used to crash the set on “Homicide: Life On The Street” and talked with him frequently.

Frank Pembleton was the highlight of that show, just a brillant performance.

My deepest sympathy to Ami and the kids.

We have lost an amazing Actor

May he rest in Peace

I totally forgot that was him in this movie! It's easily in the top five Civil War movies. Every other year or so I would go to this big Civil War show in Nashville with my dad. One time they had a big case with an 1860-something Springfield rifle musket that was used by a 54th Mass. soldier at the Battle of Ft. Wagner (big battle in the movie near the beach). It was 1992 and the for sale price was something like $10,000. It was documented down to the exact soldier.

Agreed; Glory is one of the best Civil War movies (highly fictionalized in a lot of places in the movie, but still good).
