The Cosby Show's Geoffrey Owens Laments Death Of co-star Malcolm-Jamal Warner: "This Tragedy Has Almost Left Me Speechless"

"People still tell me that it’s because of your show that I found out that I had dyslexia," the actor said in an interview.

Since then, Cosby has stayed out of the public eye, only making the occasional remark, including when his former costar Malcolm-Jamal Warner died on July 20. After Warner drowned in Costa Rica, Cosby's spokesperson Andrew Wyatt told PEOPLE that the actors kept in touch.

Cosby now lives life out of the spotlight and has not returned to acting in Hollywood. He remains married to his wife, Camille, with whom he has welcomed five children since their 1954 wedding. Two of his children — Ennis and Ensa — have since died.
