10 Captain Holt Quips from Brooklyn Nine-Nine That Have Us Saying "IJBOL"
He was played by the late Andre Braugher.
(SPOT.ph) Andre Braugher, a.k.a. the Nine-Nine's stoic, straightforward, yet lovable Captain Raymond Holt, has passed at the age of 61 due to a brief bout with lung cancer. Jennifer Allen, his publicist, broke the news to various media outlets on the morning of December 13 (Philippine Time). The shocking news has pretty much the whole of Nine-Nine's fandom and beyond distraught.
Braugher, who has had a long career in Hollywood, is known across generations as different memorable characters—mostly cops— including his circa 1990s portrayal of Detective Frank Pembleton in the NBC drama Homicide: Life on the Street and his 2009 role as used car salesman Owen Thoreau Jr. in the dramedy Men of a Certain Age. But many of you would only know him from his most recent starring role alongside Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Lo Truglio, and Melissa Fumero in Brooklyn Nine-Nine's eight-season run. This shot Braugher to household name status in our side of the world. As many look back on his illustrious career, we here at SPOT.ph would like to pay our own tribute to Braugher by hashing out some of our favorite laugh-out-loud Captain Holt lines from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
