Malcolm-Jamal Warner| 50

Malcolm-Jamal Warner was born on August 18, 1970, in Jersey City, New Jersey. He is an American actor, director, producer, musician, and author. From the age of nine, he showed a strong interest in acting, which led him to attend acting school. He is best known for his role as Theodore Huxtable on the NBC sitcom The Cosby Show.


In fact, he was so famous for his role that even now, he is still called by the wrong name. “People get it a little bit wrong because when someone calls me Theo and I correct them and say, ‘No, my name is Malcolm,’ they think I’m taking a stance and I don’t want to be associated with the show,” Warner explained to NPR’s David Green. “It’s not a problem at all,” he said. It just keeps happening. “You know my name is Malcolm,” Warner said, “but you still choose to call me Theo because you think you’re the first person to do so today.”
