"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" Fans Are Sharing Their Favorite Captain Holt Moments In Honor Of Andre Braugher
"Andre Braugher will always have a special place in my heart."
Andre Braugher, the Emmy Award-winning actor who was known for his work on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Glory, and Homicide: Life on the Street, died at age 61.
According to the New York Times, his death was confirmed on Tuesday by his longtime publicist Jennifer Allen. She said that he died after a brief illness.
According to Deadline, Andre's family asked in lieu of flowers that donations can be made to theย Classical Theatre of Harlem, where he served on the board.
As soon as news broke, actors who worked with Andre on his various projects started sharing how much he impacted their lives and how his incredible work changed TV forever.
And fans, like myself, also began sharing how much Andre's work on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Homicide, and more made a lasting impact on them and how much he will be missed. Here are some of the best reactions:

andre braugher had a way of speaking like he loved every weird little clause of a sentence, like somehow his voice and his gravity could hold onto more separate thoughts and rhythms and linguistic turns than most people could ever hold at once. it was such a pleasure to hear him.

A good 70% of Brooklyn Nine-Nineโs appeal was Andre Braugherโs ability to nail literally any line delivery. They clearly wrote toward it in later seasons, where theyโd just see can he make saying single words funny and he always could. pic.twitter.com/nOIklWdHwg

Get yourself a renowned Shakespearean actor for your ludicrously silly comedy, and you get scenes like this peppered in amongst the goofing and slapstick - โgravitasโ doesnโt even come close to describing Andre Braugherโs mastery of big speeches pic.twitter.com/0lu5niVrR6

Soulful, empathetic, & with a vocal delivery as powerful as it was rich in emotion, in the '90s, nothing was more thrilling than watching Andre Braugher's scenes in "the box" on HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET. A tremendous talent, he will be greatly missed. #RIP pic.twitter.com/yj2evN9kYX

Andre Braugher brought to life one of the most interesting & complex characters in television, Frank Pembleton in Homicide: Life on the Street. A monumental performance, full of detail, intelligence, depth, personality, & energy. Braugher shone among the amazing Homicide cast. pic.twitter.com/GmZHqApQFZ

Detective Frank Pembleton was the single greatest detective in TV history due almost entirely to the magnetic, powerhouse and idiosyncratic performance of Andre Braugher. I'm gonna need a moment. pic.twitter.com/tBtE7KKj9j
