In 1982 Warner made his TV debut, appearing in an episode of the mystery series Matt Houston. He was cast in several other programs before landing a role on The Cosby Show. He soon became familiar to television audiences as Theo Huxtable, one of the five children of the show’s lead characters, played by Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad. For his performance as the likable Theo, Warner earned an Emmy Award nomination for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series in 1986. In addition to acting on the show—which ran from 1984 to 1992—he also directed several episodes.
Warner later starred in the television series Here and Now (1992–93), playing a volunteer at a youth centre, and Malcolm & Eddie (1996–2000), about two best friends. For the latter show, he also directed 17 episodes. Warner later produced and starred in the television series Reed Between the Lines (2011–15), a comedy about a married couple juggling their work and personal lives. In 2012 he won the NAACP Image Award for outstanding actor in a comedy series. In addition, Warner costarred in the TV movies The Father Clements Story (1987), about a priest’s efforts to adopt a troubled teen; Tyson (1995), a biopic about boxer Mike Tyson; and The Tuskegee Airmen (1995), a World War II drama centring on the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military.
Warner continued to act, and in the 2010s he had notable recurring roles on Community, a comedy set in a community college; Sons of Anarchy, a popular drama about an outlaw motorcycle gang; Suits, about lawyers in New York City; and Major Crimes, a police drama. He also appeared in season four (2014–15) of the anthology series American Horror Story, and in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (2016), he played Al Cowlings, a friend of Simpson’s. Warner later was cast as a doctor on the medical drama The Resident (2018–23). In 2023 he portrayed a revenge-seeking father in an episode of the crime series The Accused.
Although Warner primarily acts on television, he occasionally has appeared in feature films. His movies include Drop Zone (1994), Restaurant (1998), Fool’s Gold (2008), and Shot (2017). As a stage actor, Warner received critical acclaim for his performances in the Off-Broadway play Cryin’ Shame (2001) and in the stage adaptation of the 1967 film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., in 2013–14.
