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.

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.

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.

    • Yes, I like him too. He is a good actor, and I agree with your comments about his personality. I also want to add, I think that he comes across as realistic and IMO sane. Yeah, he's done some bad things, but he seems pretty in control for the most part and not the least bit crazy. I appreciate that type of behavior in someone who can behave like a villain. And I continue to buy that he really does love his daughters. Unlike Leslie who seems to only use and mistreat Eva, I have seen Bill soften when it comes to his daughters. And I do believe he would do what he felt he had to do to protect them. His love for his children, helps make him more layered as a character. I really enjoyed his scenes with Dani today. I enjoyed the show today. I thought that the scenes with Nicole being comforted by both her parents including them switching out to comfort her were sweet and cute. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Vernon. I love her relationship with her parents. I also liked Tomas/Eva scenes. He genuinely seems to care about her, and I am interested in seeing how things will play out between them and him and Kat.
    • Dani really got on my nerves. Her own life is a total disaster, yet she interferes with everyone else's. What could she possibly say to Ted that will change anything? That will help anyone? And as you said, while she bashes Bill, she wants him back -- all the while knowing who he is and who he's been for years. None of these scenes are pushing me to appreciate Dani. -- OTOH, Bill got some very good shots in at Dani. He won that face-off. -- June is just a ball of cliches and stereotypes to this point. I hope this goes somewhere. -- Martin flies off the handle much too easily, but I did appreciate that he grew calm and subdued, and even sad, with Ted. -- I'm glad Tomas is pretty, because damn, that acting. -- I'm glad Derek looks so good in tight jeans, because damn, that acting. -- LMAO at Leslie gaining entrance to Nicole's house because Nicole wanted the front door ajar so Door Dash could leave her takeout.

    • No, we would really do it.  Those pix were so famous! In early May 1970 Susan introduced Doug Williams to Julie. Her intent was evil. But, it backfired on her. Doug & Julie fell in love. Everyone knows the rest of this story.
    • Doesn't matter if its off topic. No need to point it out. Things will get back on topic soon enough. They always do . . . And I do love the off topic photos from the Bill Bell era!  So thanks.

          Thank you. I didn't realize there was confusion. You cleared it up.  It is more than crazy that this whole conversation is off-topic.
    • Sure!  And we promise, Mr Corday -- we will ridicule those wonderful old episodes daily on social media.   NOT!   
    • "To give her child a name" just means to make the child legitimate and be able to take the father's surname.  
    • I would say, Denise was the ONLY good thing about that insultingly ridiculous plot.  But all this took place near the end of Another World's "let's play everything for laughs" era.  Thank God that nonsense ended around 1988.
