[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised by how many see him as an icon and have such strong attachment to him. I do remember him from the Cosby show but haven’t heard or seen of him since. We had a few shows we watched regularly as kids but I haven’t heard anything about most of those actors / actresses in decades and they definitely weren’t central to my life or childhood memories. [/quote] I think that's exactly it -- I'm his age, and I was surprised by my gut reaction. It felt like I had lost a brother. And one of my Black friends drew out some really interesting things about his portrayal of Theo -- that he struggled being a relatively weak student in a family where the parents were Black professionals. The storyline of him having dyslexia was compassionate and realistic, and it was before we know everything we now know about learning differences. It all combines to make for a memorable character from a good young actor. [/quote]
