So sad. I know he's mostly known nowadays for Brooklyn 99, but I first remember him from Primal Fear.
77 0 ReplyGlory. Yes, sir.
14 0 ReplyWatched it again within the last few years, and about a quarter of the way through I'm like WAIT THATS CPT HOLT. Never made the connection before because he's so much younger in that movie, and wasn't a name like Denzel or Broderick

I first remembered him from Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the bad general guy. Loved him in B99 as Captain dad ... Holt. RIP
12 0 ReplyStrangely, I remember him from Men of a Certain Age the most.
This might add new context to that show now.
Either way, very sad indeed
7 0 ReplySuch an underrated show. I wish it got more praise that was definitely deserved

Like they said in the article, Homicide Life on the Street is where I remember him from. Lots of good actors and performances in that show, but he was a standout. RIP.
24 0 ReplySo sad… so unbelievably saddened by this.
22 0 ReplyEverything about Homicide: Life on the Street was stellar. Then the producers went on to The Wire.
21 0 Replynot to mention starting detective john munch's career
9 0 ReplyWait so they just yoinked a character from a completely different show and shoved him into L&O?
I had to look this up and apparently the character Munch is in:
- Law & Order
- The X-Files
- The Beat
- A Very Brady Sequel
- Law & Order: Trial by Jury
- Arrested Development
- The Wire
- 30 Rock
- Sesame Street
- Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Damn. Any source on cause of death?
20 0 ReplyArticle says "a brief illness", which narrows it down.
28 0 ReplyThere is a journalistic shorthand at work here, "brief illness" usually means something discovered too late to treat, RIP Sir.

19 1 ReplyShout outs to the stubborn Brent from The Mist. A small part, but that's where I saw Braugher first

This is so sad. Mortality sucks.
10 0 ReplyAnother -1 for mortality, why combine consciousness with it? Friggin' cruel is what it is.
4 0 ReplyBut a good reminder of mortality to revitalize your spark in life! I hope he lived a good life and we certainly know that Captain Holt would have wanted us to use this reminder to make the best of what we have left.
