Heartbreaking news today... Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the man who brought Theo Huxtable to life on The Cosby Show, has passed away at age XX.

He died tragically in Costa Rica after being swept away by a powerful current while swimming at Playa Cocles. Authorities have confirmed the cause as accidental drowning.

For millions of us, Theo wasn’t just a character, he was family. The cool older brother, the relatable teen, the one who made us laugh and grow up with him. The Cosby Show wouldn’t have been the same without him, and neither would our childhoods.

But Malcolm was much more than Theo…

He won a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance
He just launched a podcast, Not All Hood, sharing real voices from his community
He acted in Malcolm & Eddie, Suits, The Resident, AHS, 9-1-1, and The Magic School Bus
He was a mentor, an artist, a storyteller, and still had so much left to give

A brother to a generation lost too soon.
