Off screen, Warner managed to sidestep the pitfalls and scandals that so many child stars face. After “The Cosby Show” ended in 1992, Warner went on to other beloved series, including “Malcom & Eddie,” “The Resident” and “9-1-1,” an impressive career transition for any actor who has grown up on television.

He and Eddie Griffin led the sitcom Malcolm & Eddie from 1996 to 2000, and Warner was also well known for his role as Alex Reed on Reed Between the Lines, which he starred in alongside Tracee Ellis Ross from 2011 to 2015.
