This is terrible news… I am in incredible pain
I’m devastated.
I have never been sadder.
😐
Shit! I’m halfway through watching Brooklyn Nine Nine for the first time. He’s really fun to watch and absolutely nails the role. Rest in peace you badass mofo.

Way to spoil a major plot line for the person you’re replying to…
Now you’ve done it. You’ve made me turn my chair.
(I don’t feed the trolls and they definitely didn’t deserve this reply. You were the closest cool person.)

61 is too damn young to go.
rest in peace 😞
Shout outs to the stubborn Brent from The Mist. A small part, but that’s where I saw Braugher first
The Mist is also where I first saw him, he did an excellent job in that role.
Most likely, there will be some improved access to his older roles like on Kojak. Even back then, he was a standout. Stole a lot of scenes he was in.
Ah shit, that sucks. He was my favourite character on B99 :'(
So sad. I know he’s mostly known nowadays for Brooklyn 99, but I first remember him from Primal Fear.
Glory. Yes, sir.
Watched it again within the last few years, and about a quarter of the way through I’m like WAIT THATS CPT HOLT. Never made the connection before because he’s so much younger in that movie, and wasn’t a name like Denzel or Broderick
Strangely, I remember him from Men of a Certain Age the most.
This might add new context to that show now.
Either way, very sad indeed
Such an underrated show. I wish it got more praise that was definitely deserved
I first remembered him from Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the bad general guy. Loved him in B99 as Captain dad … Holt. RIP
Never seen anything with him in it, still sad to gg at only 61.
Go watch Glory. He’s phenomenal in it. He was one of my favorite actors.
Son of a bitch that was him.
Everything about Homicide: Life on the Street was stellar. Then the producers went on to The Wire.
not to mention starting detective john munch’s career
Wait so they just yoinked a character from a completely different show and shoved him into L&O?
I had to look this up and apparently the character Munch is in:
- Law & Order
- The X-Files
- The Beat
- A Very Brady Sequel
- Law & Order: Trial by Jury
- Arrested Development
- The Wire
- 30 Rock
- Sesame Street
- Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
One of the big connectors in the “Tommy Westphall” universe

Who is Munch in the wire?
Munch is Munch.
yea munch was featured in some crossover between homicide and the original law & order, so when homicide got canceled in 99 they offered richard belzer a spot as munch on svu since it was in the works at the time and he was already in universe
Wasnt he also on Mythbusters?
he’s hilarious as the straight man to Michael Jai White in Thick as Thieves
Holy shit. First we lose Matthew Perry and now this.
2023 going out with a couple of gut punches.
Nah it was the guy from John wick. One more to go.
Nooo Captain dad I mean Holt :(((
Well, shit.
He was one of my favourite TV “dad” figures in Brooklyn 99.
Find ‘Homicide : Life On The Street.’ He payed a Jesuit educated detective.
I
Captain dad
