RIP

For some reason I remember his performance in City of Angels really vividly even though he's not really known well for it.

B99 is one of the better tv sitcoms in a long time tbh

Man, you could tell he was going to be good way back in Glory when he fit right in with stars like Denzel. He did some amazing dramatic work in Homicide: Life on the Street (created by the same guy who did The Wire) its first few seasons before it became a much more conventional police show. It's a shame you can't find that to watch anywhere -- probably some music licensing bullshit.

Just bought the Homocide DVD set since it doesn't exist on any streaming apparently, sucks if his legacy is just b99 and a show like homocide is forgotten

Rewatched the H:LotS pilot on https://hurawatch.cc -- what a cast, though half of them are gone now :depressed. Definitely going to go through the first three seasons again including the Robin Williams and Steve Buscemi guest spots.

He was in -The Mist- as a hard ass Black White hater.

[Tyronn Lue]

Just in time...I was sitting on the pot late last night and came across a passage that concerns the deceased.

It is contained in the non fiction book "Violent Screen" by Stephen Hunter published in 1995. He's reviewing the film...-Primal Fear-..."Alas, it's sad to report that "Homicide's" great Andre Braugher appears as Vail's investigator, with hair no less. The part, while well enough performed is so far from the demonic splendor and concentrated fury of his "Frank Pembleton" that it feels a little indecent. Can't somebody out there write a terrific script for Braugher and (Ed) Norton? Let tomorrow begin now, please! I'm tired of waiting."

"Violent Screen" is a terrific book and I so highly recommend it. It is treasured in this home.

The [Epilogue] is an article by Hunter that was published on June 21, 1981, entitled "Father of Darkness" concerning the man who was Hunter's father. It's harrowing and heartbreaking and a cautionary testament wherever man dwells.
