The very sad news broke today that Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the extremely talented actor and director and producer whose greatest role Theo Huxtable kept us laughing on The Cosby Show, has passed away at age 54.
It was hard to name a favorite character from that show, but Theo was definitely up there on my list. Maybe because he was the only son of Cliff and Claire. A lot of the comedy was his to bear because of that and he did it magnificently!
When I think of all the Theo-centric episodes of The Cosby Show, there is one stands out above the rest, and I believe that a lot of other people are going to say that this is funniest the character had. Here in Warner's memory is a clip from the first season episode where Theo buys a "Gordon Gartrayal" shirt. The interaction between Theo and his parents is hilarious!
Thoughts and prayers going out for his family.
EDIT: Wow, there's a part 2 from that episode that's been uploaded! Here it is, Theo in the shirt that Denise made for him:

He seemed to have had a very good life. Grew up in the limelight but didn't have the problems that many young actors do. God's peace be with his family tonight.
