Today while browsing the news at work I found some really sad news: Andre Braugher, who played Captain Holt in Brooklyn 99, passed away this week at 61. When I read the news, I was really shocked and saddened because Captain Holt was one of my favorite characters on TV. If you haven’t seen Brooklyn 99 yet it is about a department of police officers in the 99th precinct of Brooklyn, New York, who fight crime while also managing to have a sense of humor. Jake Peralta, played by Andy Samberg, loves to engage in pranks and other shenanigans but also loves his job in the 99th precinct. He works closely with Captain Raymond Holt, who is the commanding officer of the precinct and has a wonderful husband named Kevin and a cute dog named Cheddar. Andre Braugher played Captain Raymond Holt throughout the show and he brought me so much joy. Even though Andre Braugher is no longer here, and even though I never got to meet him, I really appreciate him and the work he did as an actor. He will be very much missed.
