Andre Braugher, Brooklyn Nine-Nine Star, Dead At 61

Andre Braugher's two most high-profile roles were certainly "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Homicide: Life on the Street," the latter of which earned the actor an Emmy win in 1998 and the former of which netted him an incredible four nominations for his role as Captain Raymond Holt. That said, he's appeared in numerous other projects, starting with his first role in the 1989 film "Glory" alongside Denzel Washington.

Braugher appeared in movies like "City of Angels," "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," and "Salt," and his last film major film role was a supporting turn in "She Said," a movie detailing the New York Times' investigation into disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein. (Braugher played real-life journalist Dean Baquet.) On the small screen, he played a lead role on TNT's "Men of a Certain Age" as Owen Thoreau Jr., repeatedly guest starred on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" as defense attorney Bayard Ellis, and appeared on the final season of "The Good Fight" as Ri'Chard Lane, a partner at the in-universe law firm. 

Andre Braugher has been working in Hollywood for decades, and losing this star so unexpectedly is quite a blow. He leaves behind a wide-ranging and exceptional filmography for fans looking to celebrate his achievements. Though he's gone too soon, he delivered extraordinary performances throughout his career.
