Though the show has long been over, the cast members have maintained their relationship quite well. Braugher’s death, therefore, came as a huge shock for the cast members. Terry Crews, who played Sergeant Terry Jeffords on the show, recently shared insights into the tight bond among the cast that grew stronger after they lost Braugher.

In a recent interview at the America’s Got Talent season 19 red carpet, 55-year-old Terry Crews revealed that the ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘ cast had a heartfelt reunion in New York City earlier this month. The gathering was to pay a tribute to their late co-star Andre Braugher, who died after living with lung cancer at the age of 61.

Oh man, reuniting with the cast,” he sighed with a pensive smile. “We laughed, we cried, we missed Andre Braugher, who we lost a few months ago. It was our time to reminisce and just think about how special our time together was,” he said.

The friendship that the cast has still retained after over eight seasons of shared experiences, is something Crews described as “a lifetime in television years.” He acknowledged the rarity of such a long-running sitcom, and said he feels grateful for the enduring friendships cultivated on and off-screen.

To have a sitcom go that long — I don’t know if it’s going to happen again,” he explained. “It’s very rare and we all recognize how fortunate we are and we love each other. We’ll always be a family. We’ll always be connected.”

It’s beautiful. It was wonderful,” he said.
