The world is mourning the loss of Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
Following the Cosby Show alum’s tragic passing at the age of 54 in an accidental drowning, Warner’s former colleagues and cast mates from his decades on TV expressed their grief over the news.
Among them was Warner’s onscreen dad Bill Cosby, whose rep Andrew Wyatt confirmed to E! News that the 88-year-old was just as devastated to learn of Warner’s passing as he was when he learned of his own son Ennis Cosby’s murder in 1997.
The 88-year-old’s rep added that Cosby recalled Warner, who played Theo Huxtable to his patriarch Cliff, and his son playing together as children, noting they “were amazing together.”
Another member of Warner’s onscreen family, Geoffrey Owens, shared the accident has nearly rendered him “speechless.”
“Malcolm was a lovely man; a sweet and sensitive soul,” Owens, who played Theo’s brother-in-law Elvin Tibideaux, added in his statement shared with NBC News. “I respected him for many reasons, including the fact that he genuinely loved the act of creation. He had the mind of an actor and the heart of a musician.”
