Early lifeWarner was born in Jersey City, New Jersey and was raised by his divorced mother, Pamela Warner, who served as his manager.[1] He was named after Malcolm X and Jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal. At the age of nine Warner demonstrated an interest in show business which led to enrollment in acting schools.



With appearances and roles on many televisions shows and films, he landed his most successful role as Theo Huxtable, the only son of Heathcliff Huxtable, who was played by Bill Cosby on the NBC sitcom, The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992. Warner auditioned for the role on the very last day of the nationwide search and was chosen by Cosby himself. He also starred in Jeremiah, was the voice of The Producer character on The Magic School Bus and co-starred for 4 years on the UPN sitcom Malcolm & Eddie.
Warner was on the CBS sitcom Listen Up with Jason Alexander and the host of the literacy-promoting children's show CBS Storybreak. He guest-starred on an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air playing the role of Hilary's boyfriend, and has directed several music videos including British R&B group Five Star's "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons" (1994) as well as many sitcom episodes including The Cosby Show, Kenan & Kel, and Malcolm & Eddie.
While he is quick to point out that his name is Malcolm, not Theo, he says he has no problem with being recognized as Theo Huxtable, and contends that he has nothing but positive memories of The Cosby Show. In 2003, Warner showed his musical chops & released his debut EP, "The Miles Long Mixtape." In 2007, Warner followed up with his second CD entitled, "Love & Other Social Issues."



Warner dated actress Michelle Thomas, who guest starred for several episodes as Justine Phillips, Theo's girlfriend in The Cosby Show. At the time of her death, Michelle and Malcolm were dating. Malcolm was at Michelle's bedside during her death from stomach cancer on December 22, 1998.
Warner also dated actress Karen Malina White, who played Charmaine Brown on The Cosby Show and A Different World. Warner is currently married to Karen Malina White.[2]
