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.

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.
