I gotta really think about that one. Andre, IMO is the GOAT cop on the GOAT cop show (and I'm not even going to do Homicide vs The Wire vs The Shield because that's another post entirely). Nobody could fuck with Pembleton in the box. And after he had the stroke? Sheeeiiit... Braugher turned in a performance that has not, and I don't know if it will, be topped.

Not to say Goggins didn't do the damn thing. He made Shane's role perfectly believable as the guy you love to hate, but kinda feel sorry for, at least up until he took Lem out. IMO his acting was second only to Chicklis in that series, and only by a slim margin. But you;re talking some rarefied air with Braugher, and I"m not sure he goes that high.

<-- Dave Thomas knows what's up...
