Very sad news out of Hollywood; Actor Andre Braugher, who starred in films including ‘Glory’ and television shows ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’, and ‘Men of a Certain Age’ died at 61 after a brief illness. He was 61 years old. Deadline has more:
André Braugher has died. The two-time Emmy-winning star of series including Homicide: Life on the Street, Men of a Certain Age and Brooklyn Nine-Nine was 61. Braugher, whose first film role came alongside Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington in the Ed Zwick-directed Glory, died on Monday after a brief illness.
While Braugher peppered his resume with comedies, many will remember him for his ferocious portrayal as Detective Frank Pembleton in the NBC drama Homicide: Life on the Street. Put him in the box, sweating out and outsmarting crime suspects in the interrogation room, and you were looking at a weekly dose of tour de force acting, as good as it got on television during that period of time.
Fans are mourning the loss:
Aw man, Andre Braugher died. That really sucks, he was only 61
Loved him in pretty much everything I saw him in, excellent actor with a wide range. Requiescat in pace sir.
