Malcolm Jamal Warner
An 80’s icon, Warner is perhaps best known for his role as Theo Huxtable, a teenager growing up in contemporary America, on the hit television series The Cosby Show. After eight seasons, he went on to star in the comedy series, Here & Now. He has also had leading roles in several high profile HBO telefilms, including The Tuskegee Airmen and Tyson. His other television credits include The Father Clements Story, Mother's Day and the after school special Desperate Exit.
Breaking away from the stereotype often associated with former child stars, Malcolm-Jamal Warner has not only achieved continued success in his acting career, but he has also received rave reviews in several new creative ventures. Somehow managing to juggle his full-time acting career with playing bass for his new jazz funk band, Miles Long, his Performance Poetry gigs and his civic-minded advocacy appearances, Warner doesn't leave much room for dreaming because he's already living his dreams. At age 30, he has accomplished more than many people do in a lifetime.
Always civic-minded, Warner has been involved in several programs that reach out to the community. He hosted the Emmy-award winning Kids Killing Kids and recently directed Teen Files: Truth About Violence.
