After the tragic passing of actor Andre Braugher, Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans started sharing their favorite moments of him.
It’s always a tragic when you hear your favorite actor passes away, especially if that actor happens to be part one of your favorite comfort shows.
2023 has seen two of these losses in the last few months with the passing of Matthew Perry (Friends) and now Andre Braugher, who is best known for his role as Captain Raymond Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
After the announcement of Braugher’s passing, Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans were quick to share their favorite moments from the series that highlighted the actor’s impeccable comedic timing.
B99 remember Braugher as the sassy yet stoic Captain Holt
To say Captain Holt was one of the best characters on Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a bit of an understatement as fans were drawn to his stoic, charming personality.
As the boss of the precinct, Holt was always around for the squad as a dry ear to lean on or an unwavering, loyal leader who would do anything for them.
