So sad. I know he's mostly known nowadays for Brooklyn 99, but I first remember him from Primal Fear.
I first remembered him from Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the bad general guy. Loved him in B99 as Captain dad ... Holt. RIP
Glory. Yes, sir.
Strangely, I remember him from Men of a Certain Age the most.
This might add new context to that show now.
Either way, very sad indeed
This is terrible news... I am in incredible pain
Nine-nine 🫡
Shit! I'm halfway through watching Brooklyn Nine Nine for the first time. He's really fun to watch and absolutely nails the role. Rest in peace you badass mofo.
Damn. Any source on cause of death?
Article says "a brief illness", which narrows it down.
There is a journalistic shorthand at work here, "brief illness" usually means something discovered too late to treat, RIP Sir.
Yeah, my first thought was cancer, though there are plenty of other possibilities.
I'd agree that cancer is most likely, especially given his relatively young age. Acute issues (like a stroke or appendicitis) wouldn't really get called an "illness" at all, and most of the other terminal diseases you expect to see first diagnosed in people in their 60's (like early onset Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, ALS, etc.) don't typically have much of a mortality rate until people reach their 70's. Plus, cancer seems the most likely to fly under the radar until relatively late, given how many cases have few or no symptoms until after the tumor gets metastasized or inoperable.
Exceptions exist of course, but cancer seems to make the most sense to me.
Everything about Homicide: Life on the Street was stellar. Then the producers went on to The Wire.
not to mention starting detective john munch's career
Wait so they just yoinked a character from a completely different show and shoved him into L&O?
I had to look this up and apparently the character Munch is in:
yea munch was featured in some crossover between homicide and the original law & order, so when homicide got canceled in 99 they offered richard belzer a spot as munch on svu since it was in the works at the time and he was already in universe
One of the big connectors in the "Tommy Westphall" universe

Who is Munch in the wire?
Like they said in the article, Homicide Life on the Street is where I remember him from. Lots of good actors and performances in that show, but he was a standout. RIP.
RIP I saw him on Brooklyn Nine-Nine series and I loved him, he was young men, only 61 so sad!
Shout outs to the stubborn Brent from The Mist. A small part, but that's where I saw Braugher first
Holy shit. First we lose Matthew Perry and now this.
This is so sad. Mortality sucks.
he's hilarious as the straight man to Michael Jai White in Thick as Thieves
Never seen anything with him in it, still sad to gg at only 61.
