He died after a brief illness, according to his agent Jennifer Allen. Braugher was known for his role as Captain Raymond Holt in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," a crime comedy series that aired from 2013-2021. He won an Emmy for his portrayal of detective Frank Pembleton in "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1998, which was produced by Barry Levinson, Tom Fontana, and David Simon, the author of "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets." Braugher also won an Emmy for his performance as a master criminal in FX's "Thief" in 2006. In addition to his TV work, Braugher appeared in several feature films, including "City of Angels," "Frequency," "Poseidon," "Primal Fear," "Duets," "The Mist," "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," "Salt," and "The Gambler." Braugher was married to Ami Brabson, who also appeared in "Homicide: Life on the Street," and had three children. Despite his successful career, Braugher believed that his family was more important than pursuing a big lead role.
