He was a revelation in Brooklyn 99. Don't get me wrong, he'd always been fantastic as an actor, but his deadpan delivery and comic timing made that show work so well and was completely unexpected as he wasn't someone I associated with comic roles. Despite being cast as serious so often in his career, guy had a smile that could light up a room whenever he flashed it on screen. He'll be missed.

That is just horribly sad and a huge loss. Andre was so great in Brooklyn nine nine, one of the funniest characters in all of tv comedy history along with being with one of the most likeable. Brilliant actor in all he did. Im so sad to hear this. Rest in Peace sir. One of the best.

Aw, that's very sad, 61 is no age at all.
Like everybody else, I thought he was great in Brooklyn 99, but I also really liked him in The Mist.

I am extremely sad about this one.
Brooklyn 99 was an important show for a lot of people like me.
When Rosa came out as bisexual, Captain Holt said a bunch of shit to Rosa that I never got to hear from my own father. It mattered to me.
And he's even younger than my dad was when *he* died, which is just depressing.

Between Ray Stevenson, Lance Reddick, and now Andre 2023 had been a rough one for me with tv actors i really liked dying before their time. RIP

The scene with Jake and Holt in the Brooklyn 99 finale hits extra hard now.

RIP It's been a lousy year from start to finish on that front. Alan Arkin, Paul Reubens, Arleen Sorkin, Richard Roundtree, Matthew Perry, Ron Cephas Jones, Mark Margolis, Ray, Lance, and Andre are all actors whose work I've enjoyed, all of them gone this year.

Honestly, I think he was the heart of that show, both in performance and holding the stories together. I need to check out more of his other stuff because he was so damn good. He was in Duets and Primal Fear. Both quite good films.

He was a tremendous talent. What a loss.

I recommend Get on the Bus, a lesser-known Spike Lee film. It's about a group of black men (who don't know each other and have nothing in common other than their race and sex) taking a cross-country bus trip to attend the Million Man March. In contrast to the 'Noble' characters he portrayed in Homicide and B99 in Lee's movie, he is a homophobic, sexist, and narcissistic actor so it shows off his range and is a really good film.
