Emmy-winning actor Andre Braugher died at the age of 61, last night, after a brief illness. The actor is known for starring in the famous comedy sitcom “Brooklyn 99”, and for playing Detective Frank Pembleton on NBC’s “Homicide: Life on Street”.

Most people are familiar with Braugher from his time on the 2013–2021 police investigation comedy series “Brooklyn Nine–Nine,” where he played distinguished Captain Raymond Holt. He became an instant fan favorite since his character was stern but had a strong sense of humanity.

The late talent left a wife and two kids. Hollywood celebrities, alongside his family and friends, are mourning his loss.

Actress Viola David wrote after sharing a picture alongside Braugher “Heartbreaking. You went way too soon. I loved every minute of working with you – your talent, your bottomless heart, your love of your family, your wife. You were a great man. God bless your children, your beautiful wife. You will be missed Andre Braugher.”
