Born on July 1, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois as Andre Keith Braugher, you'll recognize this famous American actor from either his Emmy-winning role as Detective Frank Pembleton on "Homicide: Life on the Street" in the mid-1990s, or his more recent claim to fame as Captain Ray Holt in the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" series alongside the likes of Andy Samberg and Terry Crews.
The youngest of four children, Braugher graduated from Stanford University in 1984 with a Bachelor's degree in theatre before moving on to graduate from Julliard with a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1988. A little-known fact about Andre Braugher: during the NBC coverage of the Olympic Games in both 2006 and 2010, Braugher succeeded James Earl Jones as narrator for the introduction to the Olympic Games.
