Malcolm-Jamal Warner played Bill Cosby's son on the hit family sitcom "The Cosby Show" during the show's run in the 1980s and '90s.

Beyoncé's website now directs to a message about Malcolm-Jamal Warner following his sudden death: 'Thanks for being a big part of our shared television history.'

Rasheda Williams, 46, of Detroit was about the same age as Rudy, the youngest character on "The Cosby Show" and Theo's little sister. Williams said she and others are mourning Warner's passing because of what they saw in the character he played.
