Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the Emmy-nominated actor who starred as Theo Huxtable for eight seasons on “The Cosby Show,” has reportedly died. He was 54.
Warner was on vacation with his family in Costa Rica when he accidentally drowned while swimming, People confirmed Monday.
In addition to “The Cosby Show,” Warner amassed dozens of TV credits, including four seasons as the lead actor on “Malcolm & Eddie” and six seasons as A.J. Austin on “The Resident.”
Other appearances included work on “Sons of Anarchy,” “Major Crimes,” “Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce” and “Suits.”
Warner also won one Grammy for traditional R&B performance in 2015 and was nominated for spoken-word poetry album in 2023.
Of course, he was asked for his thoughts on co-star Bill Cosby when Cosby was accused of rape in 2015.
“He’s one of my mentors, and he’s been very influential and played a big role in my life as a friend and mentor,” Warner told Billboard. “Just as it’s painful to hear any woman talk about sexual assault, whether true or not, it’s just as painful to watch my friend and mentor go through this.”
