God.I’ve worked with a lot of wonderful actors.
But too damn soon.
His scenes in Homicide were critical inspiration for The Shield.
I had the privilege of working with him briefly.
My 13 ep-and-out show was a minor speed bump in his incredible career.
My condolences to all who loved him.https://t.co/IeqDVFA4WO
Just crushed.
He was so much fun.
And he had so much life.

Holt in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
His performances will continue to inspire future generations and we will miss him tremendously.
Andre was the heart and soul of the Nine-Nine and will forever be our Captain.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Andres family and loved ones at this time.
But even greater than his acting talent was the happpiness and joy he brought to those around him.
And his smile… he had the greatest, brightest, most wonderful smile.
Our thoughts and love go to his beautiful, amazing family, whom he loved more than anything.
We are grateful for the time we had with him.
This is impossible for me to process.
He was best actor in the world.
An incredible human being.
An incomprehensible losshttps://t.co/778v5NGNI4

This really shook me!
I said, oh whats your handle so I can follow you too.
He said, No.
I like it that you dont know its me.
We both fell out.
He was a good man.
One of my other favorite memories was me, him and Terry Crews talking on set.
He then leaned in and said Gotta keep em on they toes.
Again, I fell out!
RIP#andreBraugher
Andre Braugher was a megawatt talent.
Reliable, dependable, emotional.
Whenever he was part of a cast I knew it meant the show would be great.
But what a mark you left.
His deadpan delivery balanced the insanity of the show perfectly.
And he was able to convey such warmth even as he was doing his masterful slow burn.
So sad to hear this.pic.twitter.com/clTHJDWaTL

I cant stop crying.
So many of my favorite moments editing and directing were because of him.
Gone way way way too soon.
