You were just a few yrs older than me. When I watched the Cosby show you were like my age and I could relate to you and kinda like an older brother. We all loved the Cosby Show and without you it would not be the same. Thank you for the laughs. I also liked you in the " OJ " movie when you played A.C. Collins. You were a great actor and most importantly a good person. You will be greatly missed by all.

I want to offer my deepest heartfelt sympathy to the family of Malcolm Jamal Warner which includes his biological family and his tv family. May you find comfort in knowing that he was loved by so many people who watched him grow up before our eyes. If I could take your pain away, I would. If I could find the words to say, I would. If I could turn your world around, I would. If I could pick you up when you are down, I would. I would turn your mourning into JOY! I would pray that God would heal your heart. And I´ll be there beside you, I would."

I admit I didn't watch The Cosby Show every week, but when I did, MJW was my favorite on the show. He had a sharp sense of humor, tempored with common sense. He was the kind of person I'd want to go to high school with. Rest in peace after your untimely death.

To say that you were a part of my life growing up would be a true statement. Yes, Theo was always my favorite!!! We watched you grow up and become a man right before our eyes. I recently did the binge watch of The Resident. Love that show, and your interpretation was absolutely so brilliant, beautiful and bright. What a character, but there were still the glimpses of that young man growing up in The Huxtible household. His eyes just sparkled! To his family I wish for you to know that our God is wrapping his arms around Malcolm and carrying home to next stage in heaven. Thanks for the memories!!! RIP MJW Rest well!!

My sincere condolences to your family. I, like most of us grew up watching Malcom on The Cosby Show. When I saw the news of his death, I said my cousin just passed away. I was very numb. I didn't realize it would hit me this way, but it did. With no idea it would have affected me this way. Family continue to be blessed, he was an amazing person to all who loved watching him on television. Rest in Peace Malcolm, your cousin (big fan really) will always cherish the shows you were on. Especially, The Cosby Show.
