Members DRW50 Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 André Braugher Dead: ‘Homicide’, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Actor Was 61 – Deadline This is just awful news. Braugher was always the best part of Brooklyn Nine Nine, in spite of a strong cast - he was genuinely hilarious, had great chemistry with everyone (especially Andy Samberg), and it was refreshing to see an older gay couple on a show who weren't just treated as tokens. Homicide was where I first saw him, and without him I don't think the show would have lasted half as long as it did. He was electric to watch, and the show took great advantage of that, yet Braugher never let the character become just a conduit for melodrama. He played the everyday moments with Kyle Secor or Ami Brabson (Braugher's real life wife) just as well as the flashy monologues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 Shocking and just awful. What a force of nature. I guess I should revisit Homicide - I know him best from so many other things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 WOW. I can’t believe this. He was such a commanding presence on Homicide and richly deserved that Emmy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wonderwoman1951 Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 just read about andre braugher’s passing. of course, there was ‘homicide,’ but i absolutely loved him in ‘men of a certain age,’ ironically, a show that ended long before its time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 If you can, do so. Frank Pembleton was so dynamic. Still get chills when I remember the character's stroke. And while the series had seen some decline in quality in later seasons, one exception was "Subway" in Season 6, with an equally-great performance by Vincent D'Onofrio, as a guy who either fell or was pushed (though it seemed the latter) into a subway track and certain to die once his body was freed, as Pembleton stayed with him 'til the end. That episode got a Peabody Award and a making-of documentary. Just sad it is not streaming anywhere. The only way to rewatch is buying the series DVD set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 Really?? That's malpractice, same with Knots and Millennium among others. I do remember the early episodes and the movie, which I really liked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) That's another show which has a lot of music (frankly, too much in later seasons as they used it as a crutch...so much so that they even joked about it themselves in one episode).

Members SFK Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 The holiday season can be tough enough. Ellen Holly's passing has still got me down, and finding out about André Braugher last evening brought on an awful weight of depression. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 I'm sorry to see the news about Shirley Anne Field. @Khan mentioned her stint on SB which is how I came to know her thanks to Gerald Waggett's book of soap opera lists. She swept in and saved the day when Samantha Eggar came to the quick conclusion that the rigorous demands of daytime were not for her. Interesting as Eggar later turned up on AMC as Charlotte Devane. Scenes of Field's mysterious, patrician, veiled Pamela are probably still on YouTube. Marj Dusay would assume the role. May Miss Field rest in peace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
