Fellow actors and producers of Fox's The Resident paid tribute to series co-star Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who died of an accidental drowning at age 54.
The 54-year-old former "Cosby Show" star died by drowning while on a family vacation, multiple outlets reported Monday.
“The Cosby Show” star Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died at 54. Warner was in Costa Rica on a family vacation and drowned while swimming near Cocles after allegedly being caught by a high current on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred between 2 and 2:30 p.m. local time.
Similarly to The Cosby Show, where Warner played Theo Huxtable, the middle child in an upper-middle-class Black family in New York in the '80s, Warner wanted to continue seeing different types of Black lives in the media — which is the intention behind Not All Hood.
