Samuel L. Jackson said he was "floored by this loss".
"Andre Braugher was an extraordinary actor & an even more exemplary human being!" he wrote on Twitter.
"I really thought I’d see you again. My deepest condolences to Andre’s family, to Ami, to the boys, and to all his friends and loved ones. It was an honor to be in your orbit for a time, Sir. May you Rest in Peace, my friend," Melissa Fumero added.
Terry Crews said it was an honour to work alongside Andre.
He said working and laughing alongside the actor for eight years is something he will never forget.
"I can’t believe you’re gone so soon. This hurts. You left us too soon," he wrote.
