Andre Braugher Won An Emmy For A Short-Lived, Critically Acclaimed Heist Series
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Andre Braugher won an Emmy award for a critically acclaimed FX miniseries that inexplicably failed to find an audience.
Andre Braugher, best known for his role as Captain Raymond Holt in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, won his second Emmy for his performance in the short-lived crime thriller series Thief. The 2006 FX miniseries starred Braugher as Nick Atwater, a master criminal who struggles to balance his heist work with family life. Despite receiving critical acclaim and positive reviews from publications like Variety and the Los Angeles Times, the show only had a six-episode run due to low viewership and was ultimately cancelled by FX.
Braugher expressed disappointment in the series' inability to connect with audiences, but remained committed to TV storytelling, stating, "I m going to be on TV as long as they re fighting the good fight." He continued to take on complex characters in subsequent roles, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine and other notable shows, ultimately winning the Emmy for his work in Thief.
