Morris Chestnut shared his experience working with the late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner in The Resident.
Talk to People magazine on Monday, the 56-year-old actor recalled the impression Warner left on him as an actor in previous years.
Morris said he “still can’t believe Malcolm isn’t here anymore.”
“He was a really good guy,” the actor added, showing a photo of them together on set.
“I remember that scene. Our characters didn’t like each other. He was very protective of everyone on the show and that’s kind of how he was,” he continued.
“He was just an incredible guy. I hate what happened to him. Rest in peace,” added the Watson actor.
For those who don’t know, Morris and Warner worked together on The Resident. The series ran for five years through six seasons from 2018 to 2023.
Warner, who played Dr. AJ Austin in the medical drama, died on July 20, 2025, after drowning while on a family vacation in Costa Rica. He was 54 years old.
Born on August 18, 1970, in New Jersey, Warner has appeared in several projects, including Ten Days in the Valley and American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson.
