Early life

Braugher was born in Chicago on July 1, 1962, the youngest of four children born to Sally, a postal worker, and Floyd Braugher, a heavy equipment operator. He was raised in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago's West Side. He attended St. Ignatius College Prep for high school, and earned a scholarship to attend Stanford University, where Braugher graduated with a BA in theatre in 1984. He then attended the Juilliard School's Drama Division, graduating in 1988.

He played Kojak's sidekick in the late 1980s ABC television film revival of Kojak. He subsequently moved on to a role on the television series Homicide: Life on the Street as Detective Frank Pembleton, a self-righteous, fiery, unyielding, Jesuit-educated police detective.

The play set during the American Civil War revolves around three people, Jewish Confederate soldier, and two former slaves who celebrate Passover over dinner.

He narrated the introduction to the Olympic Games on NBC from 2006 to 2010. Braugher narrated James Patterson's Alex Cross book Cross Fire (2010).
