00:00 Two-time Emmy winner Andre Braugher passed away on Monday, December 11.
00:07 The actor was ill for a long time, resulting in his death at the age of 61.
00:14 But Andre Braugher, also known as Captain Holt, made generations laugh with his hilarious
00:21 and subtle comedy.
00:23 The actor, who received two Emmys, was famous for playing dark and mysterious films and
00:29 suddenly turned his path towards a television comedy series, which obviously later won the
00:36 hearts of people.
00:38 But what was the reason behind this sudden transition?
00:42 Andre worked in thriller movies like Salt, The Gambler, The Mist, A Better Way to Die,
00:49 and many more.
00:50 But Andre desperately wanted a change.
00:53 That is the one prominent reason behind Andre accepting Captain Holt.
00:59 In an old interview with Today, he said that he needed a change.
01:04 He had been working on shows that dealt with dangerous subject matter and a lot of emotional
01:10 turmoil.
01:11 He wanted to grow as an artist.
01:13 He said, "I need to do something different and challenge myself."
01:17 And thus, he never looked back while having that transition at such an odd age.
01:23 He said that he was lucky to be part of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
01:28 Through Brooklyn Nine-Nine, his mind was expanding and his capabilities as an actor, his ability
01:34 to mind the comedy were really rising up for the first time in his career.
01:39 This character of the first black gay captain in the New York Police Department, Captain
01:45 Holt, was so hilarious that not only the audience but Andre himself fell many times and broke
01:52 many times on camera while shooting the series.
01:58 This homicide actor's transition to comedy genre was a successful attempt which gave
02:04 glory to his career.
