Andre Braugherwas set to star inNetflixs murder mystery comedyThe Residencebefore his death.
The show has paid tribute to Braugher with a card memorializing him at the end of the eight-part season.
It was such a huge moment finding out we were going to work together.
Giancarlo Esposito was recast in the role, which is key to the story.
It was brutal and it was really hard for so many of us, added Davies.
Kelechi Watson added that she was very grateful that the show was able to continue following his death.
How do we handle this?
How do we go forward?
Ultimately, the decision was to have to recast.
In fact, Davies wrote that speech after Braughers death.
It had meaning to me that way, he said.
In the last episode, it felt almost like a eulogy to Andre when Uzo speaks about A.B.
I remember that day, it was so special to hear it out loud.
Kelechi Watson added, This show, weve been through a lot.
Theres a lot of joy and a lot of laughter and a lot of fun.
