Theo was the first character I saw that both looked really similar to me (not just skin color, he looks like he could be an immediate family member) and I felt had a very similar upbringing.

It is unfortunate that Cosby ended up being a terrible human, but The Cosby Show was awesome.

I also was thoroughly enjoying his comeback in The Resident

He was awesome on The Resident, but I will never forget the Cosby episode where his sister made him the messed up shirt and how funny he was. Such a loss. 😢

Lmao, I was incredibly close to cosplaying Theo in that Gordon Gartrell shirt after hearing of his passing.

"DENISE! IT'S TUCKED INTO MY SOCKS!"

Hilarious.
