Castmates of Andre Braugher Pay Tribute To The Late Actor
“I love this first picture,” Melissa Fumero, who starred alongside Braugher in Brooklyn Nine-Nine wrote on Instagram, next to a photo of the two of them on a beach. “The moment before that photo is Andre and me sitting on a little wooden deck over looking the ocean in Malibu. We were having our first, of many, deep conversations…. when out of a nowhere a big wave splashes the rocks below us, and we get hit! We get so startled that we jump up and run off the deck…..and then crack up laughing. We were shooting the Beach House episode. I will remember all the advice you gave me. I will remember all the times we laughed because your laugh was one of the all time greatest laughs to have ever existed.”
“Can’t believe you’re gone so soon,” Terry Crews wrote on Instagram who also starred alongside Braugher in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. “I’m honored to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent. This hurts. You left us too soon. You taught me so much. I will be forever grateful for the experience of knowing you. Thank you for your wisdom, your advice, your kindness and your friendship. Deepest condolences to your wife and family in this difficult time. You showed me what a life well lived looks like.? Rest In Peace, Andre. I love you, man.”
