"Andre Braugher has revealed that he took on a role in Men Of A Certain Age because he wanted a challenge. Braugher picked up an Emmy nod yesterday for his part in the TNT series. &amp;quot;I was looking for a new challenge,&amp;quot; he told Entertainment Weekly. &amp;quot;The last thing I wanted to do these days was pick up a gun or blow something up or talk tough. I&amp;#039;ve already done a lot of that.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I wanted to do something fun. Even though they call it a drama, it&amp;#039;s a funny show. Ray [Romano] is an excellent writer as well as a comedian. He&amp;#039;s plumbing new depths here.&amp;quot; Braugher also claimed that the show is popular with a middle age audience because of the subjects it tackles. &amp;quot;We are telling the story of their lives - something they would relate to right away,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Not a lot happens. It&amp;#039;s similar to Seinfeld [in] that it has a tendency to be a show about nothing. But it really stands up because Mike [Royce] and Ray are truthful writers. It&amp;#039;s really it&amp;#039;s about how people relate to each other and how they get out of these hijinks.&amp;quot; Men Of A Certain Age, which also stars Romano and Scott Bakula, will return for a second season in November.
