Why Captain Holt From Brooklyn Nine-Nine Looks So Familiar

In 2007, Andre Braugher teamed up with director Frank Darabont for "The Mist," an iconic adaptation of Stephen King's novella of the same name. In the film, he portrays Brent Norton, a man skeptical of the presence of monsters hiding in the titular fog. However, his skepticism turns out to be his undoing fairly early in the film.

One interesting thing to note about "The Mist" is the chaotic filmmaking style used to capture the footage. In an interview with Fangoria, Braugher explained that Darabont's style required the actors to be just as committed in the wide shots as they were in the close-ups. He said, "this wasn't the stately kind of formal filming in which you could delay your close-up until the afternoon and really get it together. It was gonna be as dangerous and uncertain in the master as it was in the close-up. So like on 'Homicide,' you just had to be ready. We had marks so we could find focus—you always want to be in focus—but we weren't married to them, because there was a lot of panic and confusion going on, and you were going to wind up two feet off your mark when you were scuffling around or batting down birds with flaming mops." So, unlike many other members of the cast, Braugher had experience with that type of guerilla filmmaking due to his time on "Homicide: Life on the Street."
