Andre Braugher, the two-time Emmy winning actor who starred in the hit television series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Homicide: Life on the Street,” died Monday after a brief illness. He was 61.
Braugher’s publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed the news of his death to Variety.
Braugher was known for his role as Captain Raymond Holt on the police procedural comedy series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” from 2013 until 2021. His character’s stoic and no-nonsense personality made him an instant fan favorite of the show, especially when paired with Andy Samberg’s hotshot Det. Jake Peralta in a scene.
He won a lead actor Emmy for his role as Detective Frank Pembleton on “Homicide: Life on Street,” and won another Emmy for miniseries or movie for his performance in “Thief.”

Too young....RIP.
Good actor. Great smile. RIP.
Yeah, I enjoyed it. It was based upon Baltimore’s homicide unit, not sure if it was filmed there, but I assumed it was. Baltimore was close to D.C. when I lived in No. Va. at the time is was on.
I thought maybe he already passed away at the beginning of the year, but that was Lance Reddick from “The Wire.” Both 1962-2023. Too young. RIP
First time I saw him was in “Glory.” Never watched Brooklyn Nine-Nine though.
RIP Andre.
He ate up the screen with his charisma. RIP
We’ve been binging early seasons of Brooklyn 99 lately. Have to be quick on the fast forward but same as any contemporary tv
I recommend the episode called ‘the box’
B 99 has some issues but it has some very good comedy and good story lines.
I remember his role as a detective on “Homicide: Life on the Street.” RIP, Andre.
Homicide: Life on the Street was a great television show about police officers and crime. Way better than usual formulaic police procedurals that air on network television.
It’s a shame that it’s not available on any streaming platform.
your mindless ‘point’?
Loved him in Homicide: LotS.
Am I crazy or do I remember him having a stroke during his tenure on that show? IIRC, it was mild enough he continue in his role.
Good actor, RIP
I thought he was very good in “City of Angels”.
Yes, it was filmed in Baltimore. I came across filming several times. One time in particular I was walking from the parking lot to my office building several blocks away and walked past a small side street. I saw police cars then heard someone yell “Get down! He’s got a gun!” and I dove behind a parked car.
Then I heard someone yell “Cut” and realized, now also noticing the camera crew, that they were filming a scene. I also worked for a cabinetry supply company for a while and the production co was one of our customers.
+1 on “City of Angels” - a movie I always enjoy albeit for a personal reason.
My wife, literally the “girl next door” had a striking resemblance to a young Meg Ryan. Sadly, she lost a battle with breast cancer at 28 and I suddenly became Mr Mom to my girls, 4 and 1, at the time.
So bitter-sweet memories when watching “City of Angels” and seeing a young “Meg Ryan”.
Re: 6 - good grief, just stop.
How intellectually lazy.
