Malcolm-Jamal Warner dead: 'Cosby Show' actor who played Theo was 54
In addition to eight seasons on the hit NBC sitcom as the son of Bill Cosby's Cliff Huxtable and Phylicia Rashad's Clair Huxtable, Warner was also known for his role as Malcolm McGee in the 1990s UPN sitcom "Malcolm & Eddie" and as Dr. AJ Austin on the Fox medical drama "The Resident" from 2018 to 2023.
But it is his role as the lovable but at times clueless teen son of the Huxtables that made Warner a household name in the 1980s.
Warner also served as the voice of The Producer in the PBS children's series "The Magic School Bus." He directed episodes of "The Cosby Show," "All That," "Kenan & Kel" and "Malcolm & Eddie."
The "Reed Between the Lines" actor also dabbled in music and poetry, going on to win a Grammy Award for best traditional R&B performance for the song "Jesus Children" in 2015, and receive a nomination for best spoken word poetry album for "Hiding in Plain View" in 2023.
