Andre Braugher, the Emmy-winning actor known for roles in numerous television series including "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Men of a Certain Age" and "Homicide: Life on the Street," has died following a "brief illness," Braugher's rep, Jennifer Allen, told to CBS News. He was 61.
After making his film debut in 1989's "Glory," Braugher achieved widespread recognition in 1993 for his role as Det. Frank Pembleton in "Homicide: Life on the Street." He spent six seasons on the show and was nominated for best lead actor at the 1996 and 1998 Emmy awards, winning in '98.
Braugher left the show after the 1998 season, but returned in 2000 for the made-for-TV movie "Homicide: The Movie." He also played the Pembleton character in a 1996 episode of "Law & Order."
