‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Star Andre Braugher Dead at 61

Buy Me A Coffee

Andre Braugher, the two-time Emmy-winning maestro of deadpan humor, has shuffled off this mortal coil at the age of 61.

You probably know him best as Captain Raymond Holt from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, where he cracked smiles as often as he handed out promotions. And who could forget his stellar performance as Detective Frank Pembleton in Homicide: Life on the Street? That man had more gravitas than a black hole, and we loved every stoic second of it.

The tragic news hit the airwaves on Tuesday, December 12, leaving fans to mourn the loss of this comedic genius. In a twist that even the best TV writers couldn’t script, Andre’s family is asking for donations to the Classical Theatre of Harlem instead of the usual floral arrangements. Because nothing says “rest in peace” like supporting the arts.

The cause of death remains a mystery, shrouded in more secrecy than a detective’s informer. According to Deadline, Andre departed this world after a “brief illness.” Talk about a plot twistโ€”did the illness even have a character arc?

But let’s not forget the man’s big-screen moments. From Glory to Primal Fear, City of Angels to Salt, Andre was the unsung hero of every movie he touched. He made us laugh, cry, and question our life choicesโ€”all without cracking a smile.

Surviving this comedic maestro is his wife, Ami Brabson, and their three kidsโ€”John Wesley, Michael, and Isaiah. Our hearts go out to them in this time of sorrow. Andre may be gone, but his deadpan legacy will live on in the annals of television history. Rest in laughter, Captain Holt, you’ve earned it.
