From "The Cosby Show" to "The Resident," Malcolm-Jamal Warner expanded what Black masculinity could look like on TV.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's journey from Theodore Huxtable on "The Cosby Show" to his diverse acting career, Grammy-winning music projects, and his private family life.

Actor and director Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known for his role on "The Cosby Show," has died in an accidental drowning in Costa Rica, where he was vacationing with his family, officials there said.

Malcolm’s portrayal of Theo not only served as a counternarrative to the stereotypical image painted of young Black men in America, but his character was even a surrogate brother for Cosby Show viewers when it was on-air from 1984 to 1992.
