Actor and musician Malcolm-Jamal Warner stops by HuffPost Live to discuss his third album, “Selfless,” and his role in the upcoming series, “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson.” He is best known for his roles as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show and as Malcolm McGee on the sitcom Malcolm & Eddie. He also starred as Dr. Alex Reed in the sitcom Reed Between the Lines along side Tracey Ellis Ross. But did you know that Warner was also a Grammy award winning musician?
In 2003, Warner released his debut EP, The Miles Long Mixtape. In 2007, Warner followed up with his second CD entitled Love & Other Social Issues. In 2015, Warner was awarded a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance for the song Jesus Children featuring Robert Glasper Experience and Lalah Hathaway.
In this interview, Warner talks about more that just his projects. He also talked about his love of hip-hop music, his thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement, and the controversy surrounding the Bill Cosby rape allegations and its affect on the legacy of the Cosby Show. Our founder, Jonna, had the opportunity to ask Warner about his latest role – playing the friend of OJ Simpson during that infamous ride in the Bronco. Check out the full interview below. You’ll see Jonna at the 17:33 minute mark.
