It's still unbelievable to think that such a talented and charismatic man tragically died at 54. 54!
Without a doubt, Malcolm-Jamal Warner made an impact on millions through the character Theo from the Cosby show, playing the only son amongst 5 children in the Huxtable family. In many ways, I'd like to think there is a "Theo" in every family because the character was relatable. We struggle sometimes in school and in life when it comes to matters of the heart, but when it comes to having a strong support system, of some sort, we turn out ok in the end.
From the kid who thought he didn't need to get A's in school and getting by was sufficient enough; to the college graduate that made his parents proud, Malcolm made those moments not only comedy that still makes you laugh today, but made Theo truly come to life.
I am thankful to have the memories of watching him every Thursday night on the tele when television really had shows worth watching and even taught us something about being kin...
