ABOUT MALCOLM-JAMAL WARNER
As an Emmy-nominated actor and Grammy award winning poet, Warner has positioned himself as one of the most accomplished talents in the industry today. As a staple in television and film for nearly 30 years, Warner first rose to national prominence by starring as Theo Huxtable on the celebrated and long-running classic television series “The Cosby Show.” His work on the show garnered him a Primetime Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, and set the stage for him to have a long career in the public eye. Warner starred in FOX’s hit medical drama “The Resident.”
As a seasoned director Warner has worked on a host of television series, including “The Resident,” being a regular director [and producer] on the comedy series “Malcolm & Eddie,” and also having directed several episodes of “The Cosby Show,” “All That,” “Keenan & Kel,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Sesame Street,” and the AIDS awareness video “Timeout: The Truth about HIV, AIDS, and YOU,” which starred Magic Johnson and Arsenio Hall and earned Warner the NAACP Key of Life Image Award. His short film, “This Old Man,” received critical acclaim on the theater festival circuit.
When not acting and directing, Warner is a poet and a bass player. In 2015 Warner nabbed his first Grammy Award for “Best Traditional R&B Performance as a Featured Performer” on Robert Glasper's version of the Stevie Wonder classic "Jesus Children of America." Warner’s jazz-funk band Miles Long has performed in several major jazz festivals, and has opened for artists that includes Earl Klugh, and the late Luther Vandross, and also performed at the historic Apollo Theater.
In September 2015 Warner released his 3rd album, “Selfless,” which brought an evolution of music to the table, melding spoken word and soul music into once cohesive album. His 4th album, “Hiding In The Plain View,” was released in September 2022 and has garnered him a 2nd Grammy nomination for the inaugural “Best Spoken Word Poetry Album.”
