He (Homicide) and Dennis Franz (NYPD Blue) are my top two cops ever seen on TV. For you young guys who haven’t watched Homicide it was a very well done show and Braugher’s character made the show.

I wouldn't say he's underrated, because those who are familiar with him think he's a wonderful actor. He's a very underappreciated actor.

So sad to see him gone.

Did I draft him in the TV draft? I know I had Peralta but not sure if I went with the stack or not.

Man, he was so great in damn near everything he was in. He gets a ton of TV love but he had some memorable movie roles too - Glory, The Mist, Frequency, City of Angels, I'm probably forgetting a ton.

Super talented actor.

Way too young.

He was a great actor. And 99 is an excellent show.

I have that draft saved somewhere. I'll try to find it.

This really hurts - and for posters that will say why do you care about celebrity deaths? I will answer with this, I only have a few handfuls. But it's because they entertain us and we get to know their characters and body of work.

Robin, Michael K., some shite I can't even explain right now.

First movie I remember watching that he was in was Striking Distance, he played a prosecutor very convincingly.

Baw went to Stanford… sharp cat.

So many heavily dramatic roles, then kills it in 99 comedically (though playing the straight man, ironically )

Homicide is the best network police drama. He was excellent.
