'Brooklyn Nine-Nine': Why Captain Raymond Holt deserves to be Commissioner in season 6
If there is one thing 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' fans want more of than the Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago aka 'Peraltiago' wedding, it is their beloved Captain aka Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher) finally acquiring the Commissioner title. Why? Simply because not only is he the first openly gay black man to have made it to captaincy in what was predominantly a homophobic, racist police force, but he is also easily the funniest, warmest, most fatherly figure ever without exhibiting any of those traits in the slightest.
Over the last five years, the character has been played by Braugher, who has made a name in the industry for vastly different, serious roles. And while Holt is anything but a comedic clown, most of his quirks come off as hilarious - in a manner Sheldon Cooper's (Jim Parsons) from 'The Big Bang Theory' does.
