So sad about this. I remember watching Homicide and thinking, “Who is this guy? Wow he’s a good actor.” I’ve been captivated with him ever since.

RIP Mr. Braugher

Exactly what I said.

Unfortunately, I never saw Brooklyn Nine Nine but I will try to find it on one of the streaming services. RIP Pembleton.

He was always my favorite in Homicide - Life on the Street - one of the best police series ever. "G" was a very close second. I believe he has also passed away.
The episode with the guy under the train (Vincent D'nofrio) was one of the most nail biting, stressful plots (for me) and I wept at the end.

One of the best episodes aired on TV. Acting by all was superb.

I cried too. It was that good.

ABC’s Wotld News Now just mentioned that he died from recently diagnosed lung cancer.

Andre Braugher was one of the three stars of “Men of a Certain Age,” a well-received cable dramedy about a group of college buddies grappling with the insecurities and disappointments of middle age. Initially, producers were hesitant to cast Braugher in the role of Owen Thoreau Jr. The series premiered in 2009 on TNT, and the actor, who died Monday at 61, garnered two Emmy nominations for his performance as a frustrated car salesman.

“We were fortunate to get a lot of really good people to read for us … and Andre Braugher — he had no business reading for anybody. He should just be given any part that he wants,” said Mike Royce, the showrunner of the series. “But he flew in from New York to read with Ray. It was his dedication to the craft and also his lack of ego to do that.”

Does anybody know if he was a Smoker by chance?

Underrated drama that flew under the radar. The writing was solid and the three leads were really, really good together.

He told the New York Times in 2014 that he had "stopped drinking alcohol and smoking years ago"

Yet cancer still got him.
