About John’s Father Andre
Andre was an actor.
He was well known for his role play as Detective Frank Pembletin's series Homicide: Life on the Street.
He was born in 1962 to his parents, Sally and Floyd Braugher. He had his birthday on July 1.
Andre died on December 11, 2023.
Married life of Andre
Andre was married to his wife Ami Brabson at the time of his death.
He met Ami on the set of Homicide, and they worked together on the show.
They tied the knot in 1991. Andre and Ami were parents to three sons named Michael, Isaiah, and John.
They shared a wonderful life and had so much love between them.
Andre always prioritized his wife and children over his work.
Sadly, the couple got separated by Andres's death in December 2023.
Spending time with him and his siblings was his father's priority
John's father while shooting for Brooklyn Nine-Nine in Los Angeles would always fly home every weekend to see his children.
During an interview in 2020, Andre said he made a choice along the way that his wife and children were too important not to spend a lot of time with.
He added that both the health crisis and the democracy crisis that they were going through demonstrated to him that there was no substance in the bling.
The focus on celebrity-ness was not real so he just chose in his own way to sort of drop out.
He didn’t get any leading roles in movies or television shows but he never regretted it as he chose to stay close to his family and his home.
He said he had an interesting career but he thinks it could have been larger and could have spanned more disciplines, directing, producing, and other different things, however, it would be at the expense of his own life.
He gave up roles that required him to travel to places like Australia, Prague, San Paolo, and many others to shoot because he had three sons and he wanted them to know their father as someone other than the guy who takes them to the circus every once in a while.
Andre wanted to be there through the course of John and his siblings' lives because he knew how important fathers were.
He also talked about his father. He said his father didn’t really get why his son was giving up becoming an engineer to be an actor.
He added his father was just simply scared for him and his father was watching him, in his eyes, throw away a perfectly good career to experiment with the arts.

Andre Enjoyed Change
Andre was one of the talented actors who had won Emmys so many times.
He gave his entire life to his acting career and managed to create his audience.
He was a great dramatic actor who played the dramatic characters for a long time.
But in 2013, he joined Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a comedy series.
It was a significant change for Andre to go from being a dramatic actor to a comedic actor.
When he signed up for Brooklyn, he felt that he needed that change in his life.
He played many dangerous, emotional characters, and it was time for him to do something different.
He wanted to grow as an actor, and taking a comedy role was challenging for him, too.
Despite the significant change, he gave his best and nailed his comedic character.
Andre Counts His Breakout
Andre's role played Raymond Holt in the series Brooklyn Nine-Nine from 2013 to 2021.
It was a comedy series, and the role played by Andre was full of humor.
Andre revealed that he had significant experience working on the set of the show, but it was hard to control laughing because the show and dialogues were too funny.
He said his cast tried to make him break out during the shoot, and he had to control it hard not to laugh.
He did have breakouts during the shoot, and he counted his breakouts so that he could decrease them next year.
Andre Hates Doing Improvs
Andre gave an interview to TODAY where he talked about his thing with the improv.
Many actors enjoy doing improv, but Andre was quite different from other actors.
When he worked in a comedy show, he was around comedians and found them so fast and talented.
His co-actors, Andy Samberg and Michael Schun, are great comedians who are so fast at making jokes that Andre finds himself behind.
They make jokes and move on to another joke so quickly that Andre couldn’t even think of one joke at that time.
So whenever his costars talk to him about improvisation, he tells them he prefers sticking with the original scripts.
