Brown As a fan of This Is Us and a new fan of Brooklyn Nine Nine, I am very much looking forward to this. When I read this I immediately thought of Homicide Life on The Streets. In that show, Andre Braugher played detective Frank Pembleton. That show also had a bottle episode that took place entirely in an interrogation room that consisted only of three men: Pembleton (Braugher), his partner Bayliss (played by Kyle Secor) and their suspect in the murder they had been investigating all season long, played by Moses Gunn. It was called 'Three Men and Adena.' It was THE standout episode of the season. Given the Braugher connection and the composition of the characters, I couldn't help to drawn the comparison. I hope that was sort of the intent/ easter egg for this concept. 6 Link to comment
possibilities January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 This will be good. But I had hoped he would be playing Holt's brother, because I'd like to see Brown try to match Braugher's speech pattern and general demeanor. We saw Holt with his sister, who is his polar opposite. I'd like to see him with a brother who's just like him. 2 Link to comment

I can’t think of a more “it” actor on TV, certainly not network TV, than SKB. For real this will be an amazing episode. 5 Link to comment
possibilities January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 I bet they are hoping to drive up ratings, and leverage it into a renewal. People sample the show for Brown, love it, then get on board for the series? Link to comment

For real this will be an amazing episode. This is definitely a pretty good casting choice. Then again, they've managed to snag a lot of pretty decent actors to guest star. This is just another solid guest star joining the ranks of an underrated TV show, and in a bottle episode which could drive up the ratings a bit. 3 Link to comment

thuganomics85 January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 Sweet, he's a great dramatic actor, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he'll do in a comedy. Plus, Sterling even gave a shoutout to Andre during his Emmy win for This is Us, so imagine it will be a dream to get to work with him here. 3 Link to comment
scrambled eggs January 6, 2018 Share January 6, 2018 (edited) I am so excited for that episode. I'll have to rewatch "Three Men and Adena" before it airs. Looking forward to seeing Andy Samberg present on the Golden Globes tomorrow. Edited to add: It turns out you can't find Homicide on any streaming channel (at least a search on my Roku turned up nothing). What the hell? Edited January 7, 2018 by scrambled eggs Link to comment

thuganomics85 March 1, 2018 Share March 1, 2018 (edited) Well, while we wait for this show to finally get back, at least we get more casting news: Gina Rodriguez will be appearing later this season. The article speculates who she might be playing, so fair warning for anyone who doesn't want to possibly be spoiled. No confirmation, but Spoiler they think she'll be playing Rosa's girlfriend.

DearEvette March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 (edited) Heh. the upcoming ep with Sterling Brown was inspired by the Homicide: Life on The Streets episode Three Men and Adena. Per Tvline: Quote Question: Do you have anything on Brooklyn Nine-Nine? —Sally Ausiello: Nothing except… this exclusive first look at Sterling K. Brow’sn upcoming guest stint! The episode — which will now air on Sunday, April 1 — was inspired by the classic Homicide outing “Three Men and Adena.” The story finds Brown’s perp being grilled by Andy Samberg’s Det. Jake Peralta and Homicide alum Andre Braugher’s Captain Holt. “It’s an episode that takes place completely in the interrogation room and its surroundings,” explains EP Dan Goor. “It’s one story [featuring] just Jake, Holt and Sterling K. Brown, and it’s really intense and really funny. It’s like a one-act play.” Edited March 14, 2018 by DearEvette 7 Link to comment
