I was sitting on the couch watching TV with my partner when I got the news alert that Andre Braugher–star of the beloved sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the gripping drama Homicide: Life on the Street, and much more–had died. At first I simply couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He was only 61, and as far as I’d famous he wasn’t sick. As we all know, though, death is like that, stealing away those we care about when we least expect it.
At first glance it might appear strange to speak of a celebrity as someone that I emotionally tend about, but that’s just the way I am. And I know that I’m not alone. As Emily St. James pointed out in the aft

Actor Andre Braugher has passed away at the age of 61 after a brief illness, and fans, co-stars, friends, and family are mourning the deficit worldwide.
Perhaps best established for portraying Captain Ray Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Andre is survived by his on-screen husband, Terry Crews, as well as his real-life wife Ami Brabson and three sons, Michael, Isaiah, and John.

Although his strong presence lent itself adv to a matter-of-fact, gay, Black cop – who chose not to conform to any of those stereotypes – Andre also had a soft side that he showed both on and off-screen. By rendering a character with several defining minority characteristics in a subtle, straight-laced way that highlighted who he was, not what he was, Andre effectively propelled television forward and changed the way audiences might associate with characters.
“This is one more facet of Holt as opposed to being Holt’s defining characteristic, and that’s what’s
When the news broke last month that Andre Braugher had died from lung cancer, aged only 61, it stunned me in a way a celebrity death hadn&#;t in quite a while. As Raymond Holt, the stoic police precinct captain on the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Braugher had become a familiar presence in my life: even when I wasn&#;t watching the show, I would constantly see gifs of his deadpan delivery of lines like &#;I&#; cannot&#; on social media, or mentally hear him scream &#;Booooooone!!!!!!!!&#; with only the slighest prompting. He was the show&#;s secret weapon, playing a man so humorless it was hysterical, yet so kind, so thoughtful, and empathetic, that you couldn&#;t help but see him as a surrogate dad.

For an older generation, Braugher was Detective Frank Pembleton on Homicide: Life on the Street, a role that earned him a Primetime Emmy Award, an NAACP Image Award, a Satellite Award, and two Television Critics Association Awards. As a younger person, I first recall seeing him in the thoroughly thankless r

I don&#;t know if you&#;ve already heard but Andre Braugher recently passed away at
He was an incredibly accomplished star with a long and storied career (just review out his imdb page!) but his, arguably, most recognizable and celebrated role was that of the dead-pan Captain Raymond Holt on the beloved Brooklyn 99
Even though he was straight in real animation, his character on Brooklyn 99 did huge things for LGBTQIA2S+ representation and continually subverted gay TV stereotypes. In he told the Huffington Post how important to him it was that Holt&#;s same-sex attracted identity be part of “a complex character, rather than a defining characteristic.” All of this meant a lot to many people, including myself.
I believe this is one of those situations where you don&#;t realize just how much someone or something meant to you until it&#;s gone. I wasn&#;t expecting to be this sad about someone I&#;d never met but damn, this one hurts. I like to think that wherever he is he&#;s playing catch with Cheddar.
