Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the actor best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on the television series 'The Cosby Show,' has died at age 54.
Warner died in a drowning accident while on vacation with his family in Costa Rica according to local authorities.
The incident took place at Playa Grande near Cahuita on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast on Sunday afternoon, when Warner was pulled deeper into the ocean by a strong current. Rescue efforts by bystanders were unsuccessful, and Warner was pronounced dead at the scene.
Warner began his acting career at age 9 and gained fame as the only son of Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad’s characters on 'The Cosby Show', which aired from 1984 to 1992. He received a Primetime Emmy nomination in 1986 for his supporting role on the show.
Warner later spoke about the impact of 'The Cosby Show' in portraying the Black middle class on American television, noting the show’s significance for both Black and White audiences.
Beyond acting, Warner built a varied career, appearing in shows such as 'Touched by an Angel,' 'Community,' 'Suits,' and 'American Horror Story. He also starred in the sitcom 'Malcolm & Eddie' from 1996 to 2000.
