House M.D and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andre Braugher passed away

Popular actor Andre Braugher has died in the United States. He was 61 years old. Viewers remember the actor well for his role as police captain Raymond Holt in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine series. He also starred in the cult TV series House M.D and the feature films Salt, The Mist and many other projects.

The cause of the star's untimely death is a short illness. This was confirmed by the actor's agent, The Guardian writes.

Brower was born in 1962 in Chicago. After graduating from Stanford University, he entered the Juilliard School in New York, where his career in films and TV series began. He got his first role in 1990. In the movie Glory, dedicated to the American Civil War, the actor played one of the soldiers of the first African-American regiment.

However, Braugher's greatest fame came from his role as the imperturbable Captain Raymond Holt in the popular comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, where he appeared for eight seasons. The actor received two Critics Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and four Emmy nominations for his character, the unflappable homosexual precinct commander.

However, the movie star managed to win an Emmy for his role as Detective Frank Pembleton in the NBC series  Homicide: Life on the Street in 1998, and for the Fox project The Thief in 2006.
