Summary
- Co-stars and creator honored Andre Braugher's unique comedic talent.
- Braugher's serious approach to comedy and character impressed cast.
- Fond memories shared include Braugher's singing and distinctive 'caw-caw'.
Stars from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, alongside series co-creator Dan Goor, recently gathered at New York Comic Con to honor the memory of their late co-star, Andre Braugher. Braugher passed away in December 2023 after a battle with lung cancer. The panel was marked by emotional reflections on Braugher's immense talent and humanity.
Goor recalled Braugher's remarkable ability to embody comedy with seriousness and joy, noting that the actor, who hadn't extensively done comedy before, embraced the role of Captain Raymond Holt with enthusiasm. Braugher's dedication was evident in his interactions, including a memorable instance where he sought a detailed understanding of police work from advisors, contrasting with the lighter approach of other cast members.
Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, and Stephanie Beatriz also shared personal anecdotes. Lo Truglio fondly remembered Braugher's signature "caw-caw" sound at the end of scenes. Fumero spoke of Braugher's daily singing in his dressing room, which often lulled her to sleep during filming. Though Beatriz did not share a specific story, her visible emotion underscored the deep respect and affection the cast held for Braugher.
