He is noted successful for the positive, confident attitude in all his endeavors that leads to success. An only child, his parents separated when he was two but stayed close, united by their care for their boy. He published his autobiography in 1988, "Theo and Me; Growing Up OK." When he left home, he bought a half-million-dollar house in Coldwater Canyon that he shared with his steady girl from 1988, until they separated in late 1994. Even though they separated in 1994, they remained friends and Malcolm was at Michelle's bedside in 1998 when she died of abdominal cancer. In 2000, Warner still remains unattached, keeping a house in Studio City with his two dogs. He states that he just wants to live life right now and think later about marriage and a family. By the end of the '90s he was directing and the voice of the producer on PBS's animated "The Magic School Bus." A CD will be released the summer of 2000 with his performances on stand-up base with the L.A. jazz-funk band, Miles Long. It will be produced under Warner's own label, "The Wonder Factory." By 2002, he was starring in a TV sci-fi series "Jeremiah." He has been dating castmate Karen White for the past five years.
