[Nobody_Important]

This is so depressing. He was such a great actor that had a lot of work left in him.

R. I. P.
Great actor, seemed like a great guy.

 

[gow3isben]

How? That is too young

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

He was hilarious in Brooklyn 99. Very sad to see him go so young. Vale

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

He was hilarious on brooklyn nine nine; rip.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Sad. Any idea what the "brief illness" was?

I guess it sounds like the family is blunting it, like when Iwata's cancer was called a "growth".

 

[Ownage]

A great actor.

 

[poppabk]

This one hit hard. Loved him in Homicide, and then for him to turn up as a great comedic actor in Brooklyn nine-nine and then to die so soon after with so much promise.

 

[EviLore]

RIP, early seasons of Homicide were some of the best TV ever.

 

[Blackage]

That really sucks, RIP.

 

[AJUMP23]

Great actor. Young guy.

 

[John Marston]

Too young and why do I think it's cancer. Of course.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I've enjoyed his portrayals of characters. One of the more recent ones was when he was in The Mist. I should watch that one again.
Also, Brief Illness? ....

 

[Blade2.0]

Ah man. One of my favorite actors. The wire and Brooklyn nine nine. Way too young.

 

[Puscifer]

Him and Lance Reddick are two wild deaths this year for me.


If you never seen André Braugher in Thief it's worth hunting down, it's a DAMN SHAME how FX acts like it doesn't exist.

 

[John Marston]

Ah man. One of my favorite actors. The wire and Brooklyn nine nine. Way too young.

He wasn't in "The wire".

You racist prick

 

[ElRenoRaven]

WTF!!!!!!!!!
Just saw this due to this post. This sucks. He was so good on B99

 

[Soodanim]

I only know him from B99, but he was one of those actors that made me say "I should really see what else he's done, he's got something about him".

 

[Blade2.0]

He wasn't in "The wire".

You racist prick

oh shit! I thought, this whole time, that he was the Hamsterdam guy in the Wire. the one that starts the arc. Where the hell did I see him first, then. lol well shit. I still loved the guy.

 

[H4ze]

God damnit, that's sad, I loved him in B99
Godspeed bro!

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Fuuuuuck two great black actors dead same year.

RIP Andre

 

[Slayer-33]

Damn, RIP

 

[Fbh]

Damn, rip.

Only really know him from B99, but he was great in it.

 

[winjer]

What a shame. He was awesome in Brooklynn 99.

 

[Ben87fr]

He will always be Frank Pembleton to me, Homicide was a great show

 

[Kenpachii]

Rip

 

[DeafTourette]

He will always be Frank Pembleton to me, Homicide was a great show

For me, when Frank had the stroke was when I knew he was an excellent actor!

Too young.

 

[marjo]

Very sad news. He was immensely talented. Rest in peace.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

RIP

 

[jufonuk]

RIP in your Honor I will be eating rice.

 

[belmarduk]

He wasn't in "The wire".

You racist prick

Oh wow. I was thinking the same thing. Glad I didn't post that!

 

[Chuck Berry]

Ill always remember him from Primal Fear with Richard Gere and Ed Norton. Great supporting role. Great actor.

 

[jason10mm]

He was always fun to watch, always gave it his all. Terrible shame, RIP.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Great actor, what a shame. He has some obvious roles, but Men of a Certain Age is super underrated and underappreciated, and I remember him being pretty good in Last Resort too.
