āAnd during this recent interview in Manhattan, [Braugher] dwells on his two passions: his family and his work. What fuels that love for acting? āItās an emotional release,ā he explains ā an outlet that might otherwise lie beyond his reach. āMen are not usually forthcoming in the expression of their emotions.ā Growing up in a rough Chicago neighborhood, he was blessed with loving and demanding parents. āBut I was socialized in a certain way. Even as a kid thereās no real suitable outlet for emotions that donāt fall within a certain small range: anger, lust, ridicule ā Army emotions, I call them.ā Then, at Stanford University as an engineering major, he helped out a friend by filling a vacant role in a campus play. He liked it ā a lot. He had found a new major, and an unexpected calling. āAs an actor, Iām allowed ā encouraged! ā to explore emotions that have been basically unacceptable in my life. I have a huge well of emotional stuff, and once I give myself permission as an actor, it all comes to the surface. But Iāll be damned if I can give myself permission to bring it out as a man.ā āAs a father,ā Braugher goes on, looping back to one passion from the other, āIāve tried to encourage my children to have a broader and deeper emotional life than Iāve had. I want my sons to be able to express their feelings about things,ā he says with feeling he seems fully able to express.ā
