And a supporter said,

“The Cosby Show understandably has a dark cloud around it now, but Malcolm Jamal Warner as Theo is one of the most important/iconic portrayals of a young Black man on TV. From his struggles with dyslexia to becoming an educator, Theo was so important in the 80s/90s.”

Following The Cosby Show, Malcolm’s career continued to flourish, and he went on to star in many more projects, such as Malcolm & Eddie, Major Crimes, and The Resident.
