Fans, studios and costars alike were surprised by the news that award-winning actor Andre Braugher died on Tuesday after a brief illness.
Among them was “Homicide: Life on the Street” creator David Simon, who wrote Tuesday night, “Andre Braugher. God. I’ve worked with a lot of wonderful actors. I’ll never work with one better. Stunned and thinking of Ami and his sons and so many memories of this good man that are now a blessing. But too damn soon.”
“Andre Braugher was the actor that others in the profession would always aspire to be. He infused Det. Frank Pembleton on ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’ with both righteous ferocity and quiet dignity. In addition to his prowess as a dramatic actor, his comedy chops were also on full display as the determined and passionate Capt. Holt in ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine.’ His performances will continue to inspire future generations and we will miss him tremendously,” NBC and Universal Television representatives said.
“Everyone at FOX is devastated by the sudden loss of our friend and colleague, the incredibly talented Andre Braugher. He will most certainly be remembered for his iconic comedic and dramatic roles across both film and television, but he will be remembered mostly for his big heart, kindness and the lasting impact he made on his friends, family and fans everywhere. Andre was the heart and soul of the Nine-Nine and will forever be our Captain. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Andre’s family and loved ones at this time,” Fox Television representatives said.
Audra McDonald, who starred in “The Good Fight” with the actor, wrote on Instagram that “He was absolute joy, brilliance, and light.”
She added, “I cannot process the news of Andre’s passing. He was the most generous, brilliant, intelligent and hilarious soul. He kept us in stitches on set. He was such a joy to work with and had the most beautiful curiosity about all things and all people.”
Dirk Blocker, who worked alongside the actor on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” expressed in an Instagram post, “Fiercely intelligent, remarkably kind, supportive, generous and possessed a deep and extraordinary talent, and had even more to offer. I am devastated. I love him. The 9 years I was able to work with him and to just be in his presence was truly a blessing. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.”
“I loved every single minute of working with him,” co-star Terry Crews captioned a photo of Braugher, “Can’t believe you’re gone so soon. I’m honored to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent. This hurts. You left us too soon.
