I'm absolutely gutted this morning to read the actor who played Raymond Holt on Brooklyn 99 has died. Of course he's played other roles but this for, for me, the iconic one!

I used to love all his barbs at Wuntch

Captain Wuntch, good to see you. But if you're here, who's guarding Hades?

What are your favourite quotes?

Charles: I'm not saying blackmail him blackmail him. We just insinuate that we know what's going on and let him fill in the blanks.
Captain Holt: Oh, so it's like he blackmails himself?
Charles: Uh-huh, you just go up to him and say, "Commissioner Grayson, how's your wife?"
Captain Holt: Commissioner Grayson, how's your wife?
Charles: No, that just sounds like you really wanna know how she is. Insinuate. Maybe add a pause before "wife."
Captain Holt: Commissioner Grayson, how's your ... ... wife?
Charles: Too long.
Captain Holt: Felt it. Ugh, this is not my strong suit.
Charles: No, no, sir, sir, sir. You're doing great. Just forget the pause. Use your eyebrows like this. How's your "pump, pump, pump" wife.
Captain Holt: How's your pump, pump, pump wife.
Charles: Eh, it was a little bit better in my head. Try this. How's your "pump" wife "pump, pump."
Captain Holt: End on a double pump? That's risky. He'll see right through me.
How about "Pump, pump" how's your "pump"?
Charles: You forgot to say wife.
Captain Holt: Ah, good note.
Charles: How 'bout this? How's your "pump" wife "pump", Grayson, "pump"?
Captain Holt: That's the one.

This is such sad news. I watch B99 all the time.
My absolute favourite episode is where he and Jake get the mumps.
"Jake, Balthazar has a sister, meet...Penelope" oh hoooo mumps on mumps

And the banter with Wuntch
"Diaz fetch me a bucket, it's time to melt a witch"

"Boston? But it's so close to Salem. You DO know what they do to witches up there?"

Was gutted yesterday, what a character Holt was and RIP Andre.

‘If I die send my regards to Kevin’

’what should I say?’

’Regards’

I find this one quite fitting but it always makes me and DH laugh and we regularly ask the other to pass on our regards 🤣

Holt - ”When I die, please give Kevin my regards.”

“What do you want me to tell him?”

Holt - “Regards.”

Just posted this - me and partner do the exact same 😂
