AceShowbiz - Stephanie Beatriz has opened up about a recent reunion with the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" cast, where they gathered to remember their late co-star, Andre Braugher. Braugher, who played Captain Holt during the show's eight-season run from 2013 to 2021, passed away in December 2023 at the age of 61 from lung cancer.
Beatriz, alongside Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, and Chelsea Peretti, reunited in March to honor Braugher's memory. "It was a chance for all of us to get together and make each other laugh," Beatriz told People. "And it was also a chance to talk about Andre."
The castmates shared stories and memories of Braugher, who they said will always hold a special place in their hearts. "He lives in our hearts forever and ever," said Beatriz.
Terry Crews also spoke about the reunion, saying that it was a time to "reminisce and just think about how special our time together was." Crews shared a photo of the gathering on Instagram, which included other cast members such as Joe Lo Truglio, Joel McKinnon Miller, and Dirk Blocker. The caption read, "We laughed. We cried a little. We reminisced. We laughed some more. Nine Nine Forever."
After Braugher's passing, the cast and crew of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" expressed their grief and paid tribute to the actor on social media. Peretti wrote, "I will always cherish our conversations... I really hoped and knew I would see you again. Hate that I won't." Marc Evan Jackson, who played Braugher's onscreen husband, shared a photo of them together with the caption, "O Captain. My Captain."
Despite the loss of their beloved co-star, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast remains close friends. "We all love each other very dearly," said Beatriz. "I'll never let those people go. They can try and get rid of me, but it's not going to happen."
