IMO he was always the funniest person on Brooklyn Nine-Nine which is quite the feat because it's a pretty stacked cast.

His descriptions of Wunch were absolutely brilliant.

Everything he ever said about Wunch was gold, his one liners to her were always my favorite lines of the show

He played the Straight man very well, specially since his character was gay.

Really? I thought it was obvious. I don't try to hide it.

Andre Braugher was a very talented guy. Getting him on Brooklyn Nine-Nine was a huge win and without Homicide: LotS his comedic turn wouldn't have been funny in and of itself. As much as I like the entire cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine I think he was the only actor whose character would have turned out wildly different if it had been played by someone else.

I'm currently deep into the 7th season of Scrubs right now and I was just thinking what series I should start next so it looks like Brooklyn Nine-Nine is gonna be it. R.I.P.

Or house. He's in there towards the end.

RIP. He was a standout in anything he was in.

Homicide was one of the best shows from the 90s and he was the best actor on the show.

RIP, Captain Holt is hands-down one of the best sitcom characters ever. He was an absolute pleasure to watch 😢

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Legit, he was the only reason I watched that show.

😞 he will be missed, never seen another actor like him.

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh no... What a shame. I loved him in everything I saw him in.

Ugh! That friggin' sucks. I really enjoyed Homicide; I've got all the episodes on DVD.

[-] jtk 2 points 1 year ago

Andre Braugher, 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' (oh cool he has a cool new project 👍 ...) and 'Homicide: Life on the Street' (Hmm, hadn't heard of that one 🤔 ... Oh fuck, they mentioned more than one show 🫣... Shit).

died Monday after a brief illness.

WTF does that mean?

[-] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 15 points 1 year ago

Died = to pass from physical life: expire

Monday = day of the week between sunday and tuesday

After = following in time or place

Brief = a short period of time

Illness = sickness, an unhealthy condition of body or mind

[-] CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I'm with you - I don't know if I've seen those words together like that in that order.

Does that mean something like covid/extreme flu? "brief" tends to mean minor - so what "brief illness" is fatal?

[-] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Brief as brief in time. So very acute and very fatal
