Rec. #623: Andre Braugher Is a Serious Actor

The rousing finale of Brooklyn Nine-Nine Week




What: Andre Braugher is a Juilliard-trained capital-A Actor who is known for embodying intense dramatic roles with simmering emotion. Now, as a lead on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, he plays Captain Raymond Holt, who has a defining characteristic of being largely without affect.

Sometimes it's played for laughs.


But sometimes Holt's seriousness also brings surprising pathos to this goofy comedy.


[I'm not crying, some ghosts must just be chopping onions.]


How to get it: See Holt's thoughts on who gets called "doctor" here (for laughs). See a gif sequence of Holt's speech to Rosa Diaz here (for pathos).
