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.”

Yes it was filmed in baltimore. The building that served as their office / HQ was on Thames Street right on the harbor in Fells Point. It is gone now replaced by a luxury hotel owned by Mr Under-Armor.
Well, I always thought it was, but it was long enough ago that I couldn’t remember even if I had confirmed it was at the time. I remember watching it, but most likely not on a regular must watch basis. I do remember enjoying watching it. But being younger I had a lot more events competing for my attention. Some enjoyable and some not. 🙂
mindless?
the point is they are all dying unexpectedly and or suddenly from the jab...
this should be in the unexpectedly category.
brief illness my azz
so he dint die from the jab?
RIP! Great actor.
Man, I really enjoyed his work.
His performance in the episode where he played Detective Pembleton having a stroke and falling onto a table in front of his colleagues was so riveting...
He was great in the Homicide series.
It can be streamed from You Tube

I guess Yaphet and André are up there comparing notes now—“Heavenside: Life Is Complete.” RIP to both.
Thanks for the link, bert.
Yeah, I remember him too. Not surprised about Tom Hanks.
It was reported today that Braugher died of lung cancer. RIP and at least he’s not suffering now.
thx, God speed...
All I remember about "Homicide: Life on the Streets" is that the show was well-written and the actors were great. Andre and Yaphet were perfect in their roles. All the actors were. I think Giancarlo Esposito was on the show at one point.

I hope they're having a party with Richard Belzer, who I see also died this year, and the other cast members who've passed on.
Too bad about Andre. He was only 61. I hate cancer.
There was a news story a couple of years ago about Bob Dylan wandering around a residential area at the Jersey shore the afternoon before his concert, having gotten off his tour bus without his ID or phone, and wearing a hoodie. He was arrested by a young female cop who had never heard of him and didn't believe whatever he said to her. Of course he often looks bedraggled. When she walked him into the station, the older cops went out of their minds—LOL! I imagine Bob just totally went along and grooved on it. I also guess he didn't have any weed on him.
But I digress. Yes, I remember Esposito so well from Homicide, and of course Richard Belzer, also from Law & Ordure (it has become unwatchably woke.)
There have been a lot of people with latent cancers or in remission who have had it return after the jab. A pox on that entire thing.
Fun story about Bob Dylan. I can picture it happening. :-)
I don’t remember ever meeting anyone famous, with the exception of a couple of athletes when I was a kid.
