Veteran actor Bill Cosby has paid tribute to his late 'The Cosby Show' co-star, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who tragically died at 54 due to an accidental drowning. The incident occurred as Warner swam off Costa Rica's Caribbean coast during a family vacation, according to Variety.

Cosby, in an interview with ABC News, praised Warner's professionalism on set, describing him as a 'great studier' who always knew his lines. The actor cherished Warner's legacy from their time on the show and maintained a close friendship long after its conclusion.
