Ugh that is awful, he's way too young. I absolutely loved him on Brooklyn Nine-Nine

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Remember him best for Homicide: Life on Street, Glory and a few others

RIP

 

[Habsrule]

Way too young. He was hilarious in Brooklyn 99

 

[Bounces R Way]

That sucks, 61 is way too young

RIP

 

[Teemu]

Wow, that's a shocker. One of very few to have such a memorable character in both comedy and drama.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Wow Brooklyn 99. And I just saw him on a commercial.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Bummer, I've enjoyed his work over the years

 

[DaaaaB's]

He was great in Homicide: Life on the Street as Det. Frank Pembelton. I'm not crazy about Brooklyn Nine Nine but he seemed to be one of the funniest characters. RIP

 

[Juve]

Damn! He was my favourite character on 99.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Damn this one hurts. Highly underrated actor

 

[Jumptheshark]

If you can. Watch life on the street. Great TV show from the 90s

I think only 3 of the OG cast is still with us.

When they started hiring the pretty people the show went down hill

Gosh, is it just my own impression or has there been a lot of celebrity deaths in these past 2 weeks? And yes, of course, his character on "Homicide: Life on the Street" is a very memorable one for me. And I would've figured that he was bit older than 61. Damn, that makes him 2 years younger than me.

RIP Captain Holt

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

He had such a commanding on screen presence... even in a comedy like B99.

Watch Homicide life on the street. A master at work

 

[Lehnerd Skinnerd]

Damn, this was a shock to wake up to. Loved him in Brooklyn 99. His character was hilarious, always totally deadpan.

61 is way too young, RIP.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Absolutely loved him in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Gone far too soon. RIP.

Gutted, Pemberton was a legend

He was great in Homicide: Life on the Street as Det. Frank Pembelton. I'm not crazy about Brooklyn Nine Nine but he seemed to be one of the funniest characters. RIP

Never seen Brooklyn.

Homicide is one of the 10 best shows in history
