Malcolm-Jamal Warner remembered after apparent drowning death at 54

$95 that salesman said this will last a lifetime and just think if I live to be 90, that's about a dollar a year. Malcolm Jamal Warner, an actor who rose to fame as the beloved Theo Huxtable on eight seasons of the Cosby show, died on Sunday. Officials say the 54 year old was swimming at a Costa Rican beach when he was swept away by a powerful current. Bystanders tried to rescue him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. One of my scrabble coming right up. The world watched as Warner grew up on the Cosby show, earning him an Emmy nomination seen by many as America's son in terms of the things that continue to perpetuate the negative stereotype of people of color. We've always had the Cosby show to hold up against that. I spoke with Warner's TV dad Bill Cosby yesterday. What do you want people to remember about him? Oh boy, he was never afraid to go to his room and study and make sure he followed whatever he had learned in the acting school he went to. Cosby said the fictional father and son last spoke about three months ago, chatting about Warner's successful pivot to music. He was very proud of what he had done. Warner was a Grammy winner. And aren't you tired of being hustled and played and was nominated for another Grammy for best spoken word poetry. And are we all tired of crying about how hard it is to be black in America, even if it looks like we've got it made. He has survived by his daughter and wife. He recently reflected on his legacy during a podcast with all of the darkness in the world. It is possible to maintain your soul and be a good person.
