We’re heartbroken to report the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner at the age of 54 from an apparent drowning.
A generation grew up with Warner as Theodore “Theo” Huxtable—the beloved only son of the Huxtable clan on The Cosby Show, which first aired in 1984 when he was just 14 years old. His portrayal helped redefine Black boyhood on screen, offering humor, vulnerability, and depth across eight seasons.
But Warner’s talents extended far beyond the sitcom world. In 2015, he became a Grammy Award winner for Best Traditional R&B Performance, sharing the honor with Robert Glasper Experiment and Lalah Hathaway for the powerful track, Jesus Children.
He was an actor, poet, musician, and storyteller—but above all, a father, partner, and friend. We extend our deepest prayers and love to his family, loved ones, and all those touched by his presence. May he rest in peace.
