Alexei Navalny
seemingly.

“Disappeared” from jail about a week ago. Just before Putin announced he was running for President, again, to stay in power beyond 2030.

Run against a dead man AND count the votes. Stalin would be jealous.

Oh no! He was a favorite. Could do drama and comedy with equal dexterity. Much too young.

Damn damn damn.

I loved him as Frank Pembleton.

One of my all time favorite characters in any medium.

Feel the same way about his Brooklyn 99 character, Captain Holt. He was absolutely my favorite.

He was so good in Glory, which I am assuming was one of his earliest roles. So young.

Holt would have been a punchline in literally anyone else’s hands. If they don’t cast Braugher the show doesn’t work.

And Glory is an all-timer. Broderick doing the best dramatic work of his career but he had no prayer of hanging with Washington and Braugher.

He was excellent in everything. He was a submarine captain in a short-lived series and was the only reason to watch. He carried the series in “Brooklyn 99”. My favorite role was in “Tuskegee Airmen” as the Colonel. His delivery of the last line when he informs his captain, played by Laurence Fishburne, that their new job was bomber escort into Berlin: “We weren’t assigned, we were requested.” was unforgettable.

Glory is one of my very favorite movies. I’ve actually been in the house that is used early in the movie as the home of Col. Shaw in Savannah. It is the former home of Gen. Hugh Mercer, the great grandfather of composer Johnny Mercer and the location of the shooting that is central to Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil.

Still one of my favorite TV scenes is Pembleton, after Crosetti’s suicide, alone donning the dress uniform during the funeral procession. Been over twenty years, and that scene still sticks with me.
