The entertainment world mourns the passing of Andre Braugher. The star of hit series like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and 'Homicide: Life On The Street' was 61 years-old. The the two-time Emmy-winning actor's passing on Monday caused an outpour of grief and condolences from fans across social media on Tuesday, when the news was released by his publicist.

Braugher's portrayal on FOX and (later) NBC's hit series Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013-2021) was deemed as iconic by fans and critics. The portrayal of the extremely monotone personality of the chief of police from the series was vital to the success of the show that also featured Andy Samberg and Terry Crews.
