He earned 11 Emmy nominations in his career, including a second win for the 2006 miniseries Thief. At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, the actor reflected on his role as Holt in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and as other police officers.“I look up after all these decades of playing these characters, and I say to myself, it’s been so pervasive that I’ve been inside this storytelling,” Andre said at that time.
