In Connecticut, a permit from the Department of Environmental Protection is
required for the importation into the state of any live fish or live fish eggs,
except for common aquarium species. Here's the text of the regulations
concerning common aquarium species (note that the importation or possession of
piranha and walking catfish is prohibited):
Section 26-55-1(h) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA):
(h) No permit shall be required to import, live common aquarium species. The
importation or possession of piranha of the subfamily: Serrasalminae, genera
Serrasalmus, Serrasalmo, Pygocentrus, Teddyella, Rooseveltiella, and Pygopristus
and walking catfish of the family Clariidae, genera Clarias, Heteropneustes,
Dinotoplerus and Heterobranchus is prohibited except that the Commissioner may
at his discretion issue permits for the importation and possession, when it is
in the public interest, for public display purposes, of single specimens of
piranha and walking catfish. Such possession permits shall be issued for a
calendar year and the applicant must request renewal of said permit prior to
December thirty-first of the year said permit is in effect. Renewal of said
permit shall be at the discretion of the Commissioner. Such permittee shall
report annually to the Commissioner during the month of December on the status
and health of the specimen for which said permit is issued, except that in the
case of death of said specimen the permittee shall report same to the
Commissioner within seven days.
Possesion or importation of a number of species (and groups of species) is
prohibited, below is the current list of prohibited fish (text from Sec.
26-55-1(i) of the RCSA):
(i) Live fish or live fish eggs of the following species, genera or families may
not be imported in to the state or possessed:
(1) Bowfin (Amia calva);
(2) Gars (Lepisosteidae spp.);
(3) Gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum)
(4) White bass (Morone chrysops),
(5) Freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens);
(6) Snail carp or Black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus);
(7) Silver carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix);
(8) Big Head carp (Aristichthys nobilis);
(9) Tench (Tinca tinca);
(10) Rohu (Labeo rohita);
(11) Calbasu (Labeo calbasa)
(12) Catla (Catla catla);
(13) Mrigal (Cirrhina mrigala);
(14) Mahseer (Tor tor);
(15) Crucian carp (Carassius carassius);
(16) Rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus);
(17) European whitefish, Orfe or Ide (Leuciscus idus);
(18) Any species of fish whose importation into the United States is prohibited;
(19) Any species of fish designated rare, threatened or endangered;
(20) Any species of fish which the Commissioner determines is potentially
dangerous to humans, established species of fish or established aquatic plants;
(21) Snakehead (including all members of the genus Channa and Parachanna or
their generic synonyms of Bostrychoides, Ophicephalus, Ophiocephalus, and
Also, this past summer, the importation and/or possession of live fish or live
eggs of all forms of sturgeon (family Acipenseridae) including "sterlet" was
prohibited. It was determined that a potential threat to Atlantic sturgeon and
the federally endangered shortnose sturgeon existed due to competition,
hybridization and disease transmission should other sturgeon be introduced to
Connecticut waters.
Please note that the introduction/liberation/stocking of any species of fish
into CT waters is also prohibited without a permit from the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) and that the use of, or sale of common carp
(Cyprinus carpio) and goldfish for use as bait is also prohibited.
Also, there
are a number of aquatic plants (some of which may be popular in the aquarium and
water garden trades) whose possession, transportation, sale, cultivation and/or
distribution is currently prohibited in Connecticut:
Curly leaved pondweed (Potamogeton crispus)
Fanwort (Cabomba caroliniana)
Eurasian water-milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum)
Variable water milfoil (Myriophyllum heterophyllum)
Parrotfeather (Myriophyllum aquaticum)
Water chestnut (Trapa natans)

To protect and conserve Florida's natural aquatic resources and help ensure public safety, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) prohibits (see Prohibited fishes) or restricts (see list above) certain non-native fishes and aquatic fauna. Moreover, no person shall allow or permit any freshwater aquatic organism not native to the state to remain in the waters of any pond which is not maintained or operated for the production of such non-native species.
The FWC uses well-defined criteria to determine where a species should appear on the list. The most current list is available by checking the statutes (See 68A-23.008). Species that were included on the list as of July 2003 are described on this page. In general, prohibited non-native aquatic species, listed in red in the link box above, may not be imported, sold, possessed or transported in Florida. Very limited exceptions are made by permit for viewing at large public aquaria or for research, provided Commission-approved maximum security requirements are met. No exceptions are made for certain prohibited species, such as piranha. Research permits for prohibited aquatic species are also very stringent.
Restricted non-native aquatic species, listed in brown in the link box above, may only be possessed under permit from the executive director. Prior to the issuance of such permit, the facilities where the restricted aquatic species are to be kept and waters where their use is intended may be inspected by Commission personnel to assure that adequate safeguards exist to prevent escape or accidental release into the waters of the state.
Note that much of the information on this page was taken from Fish base and "Living Fishes of the World," by Herald, or from the "Identification Guide to the Restricted and Prohibited Exotic Fishes," which was edited by Lt. Tom Quinn for FWC.

This program utilizes Zanzibar's unique ecological context to explore specific environmental topics, including coral reef conservation, tropical forest management, and resource management. Through thematic coursework and direct field experience, students examine issues arising from the tense juxtaposition of seasonal population growth and economic development with conservation of the local environment. Students learn to reframe notions of ecological sustainability in relation to local population needs, perspectives, and values.
Major topics of study include:
This program was a life-changing experience for me, and the Independent Study Project (ISP) proved to be the most rewarding. During the ISP, I was able to live and travel safely on my own for three weeks in rural areas of Zanzibar as I studied beliefs in spirits and sacred sites. I was forced to put myself out of my comfort zone, but in doing so I realized that I had learned much more of the culture and language than I had realized throughout the semester.
Julie Bardenwerper, Gustavus Adolphus College
Zanzibar's geographic and ecological assets, including its extensive coastline, flora, fauna, and tropical climate, create an optimal environment to examine coastal ecology and natural resource management. The area also provides students with an exceptional opportunity to conduct research on rare endemic species such as the Pemba flying fox, the largest fruit bat in the world, and the coconut crab, the world's largest land crab. Through thematic seminars and hands-on learning with academic and professional experts, students explore the diversity and natural resources of Zanzibar (known locally as Unguja), Pemba, and coastal Tanzania, challenging themselves to understand the larger questions of conservation practice in the region.
Each program phase exposes students to different perspectives on natural resource management and development through interactions with a variety of stakeholders.
By utilizing SIT's extensive regional networks, students have the opportunity to learn through a wide array of academic, professional, and community experts. Collaboration with both government and nongovernmental agencies, as well as with the Institute of Marine Sciences, provides outstanding experiential components to the program.
The program is based in the remarkable city of Stone Town, a UNESCO world heritage site, distinguished for its impressive cultural and architectural legacies. The city boasts magnificent Arab architecture, bustling markets, narrow streets and alleyways, mosques, and museums. From their base in Stone Town, students examine issues in marine and coastal environments through lectures and short excursions arranged through the Institute of Marine Sciences. Additionally, students begin Kiswahili language classes and have the opportunity to live with a host family, ensuring further immersion in the local language and culture.
Throughout the program, students participate in educational excursions that complement and enhance classroom learning. One of the first is a ten-day excursion to Unguja's sister island of Pemba. Pemba, a more rural community, is the base for addressing issues affecting villagers and local fishermen. Students typically take field trips to locations such as salt farms, an essential oils distillery, a rubber plantation, a forest reserve, the Misali Island Marine Reserve, and a farmer's field school that teaches local farmers about improved agricultural techniques. Later in the program, students spend ten days in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city. Students live in a guest house near the University of Dar es Salaam, where thematic lectures and educational excursions are presented by relevant professors from different departments at the University.
Excursions relate directly to the program's Environmental Research Methods and Ethics course, which instructs students on the techniques, methods, and ethics necessary for successful field research. Throughout this section of the program, students establish ideas for their Independent Study Project (ISP) and learn to properly develop their research topics.
Students spend the final part of the semester focused on an Independent Study Project (ISP). The ISP provides students with an opportunity to critically examine a topic relating to the coastal ecology and natural resource management in the region. Research on certain topics can only be done in Zanzibar, as some of the examined species are unique to Zanzibar.
Past ISP topics have included examining a variety of conservation, social, and ecological issues such as pesticide use and awareness, coral reef biodiversity, amphibian ecology, alternative income projects such as butterfly farming and oyster farming, sustainable use of natural resources for building materials, the changing value of fish in a subsistence economy in relation to tourism, and the expression of environmental ethics through storytelling. Past research conducted by students on this program has served as a valuable resource to the Zanzibari government and other organizations in the region.
Links to syllabi below are from current and forthcoming courses offered on this program. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
The interdisciplinary coursework in the Tanzania: Zanzibar — Coastal Ecology and Natural Resource Management program focuses on coastal ecology and natural resource management in the context of coastal Tanzania. Students examine the impact of human activity on the environment and the ways in which thoughtful and sustainable management of natural resources can serve both human and environmental interests. Students participate in a variety of research and cultural activities throughout the semester and learn from researchers, professionals, practitioners, and other development and conservation specialists. During the final month of the semester, students leverage their field study experience and research skills to conduct an Independent Study Project (ISP).

Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
Educational excursions give students an unparalleled opportunity to examine directly the consequences of ecotourism on coastal forests and ecosystems. Excursions are carefully chosen and integrated into the overall coursework.
Many of the excursions on the program take students directly into the water to explore marine habitats and coastal ecology. Through snorkeling, students gain a far better appreciation of what is occurring in the Indian Ocean by examining it firsthand under the guidance of local experts. Students begin to recognize what healthy coral looks like in comparison to unhealthy coral, and what types of marine life live in sea grass and the intertidal zone. Biodiversity surveys using transects and quadrats allow for practice with methodology, which some students can then use for their Independent Study Project. These hands-on learning experiences help students appreciate the interconnectedness of coastal ecology and a healthy biotic system.
Excursions give students hands-on, experiential learning opportunities to further illuminate thematic coursework and other classroom learning.
The SIT staff worked tirelessly to help me have a great semester. They were ready to assist me with any issue or answer any question I had but also didn't hold my hand or stop me from trying new things. They didn't shelter me from the difficult realities of developing nations. I felt that the SIT staff beautifully balanced supporting us with challenging us, and I hope that they understand how large an impact they have on the lucky students who arrive on the program each semester.

The program offers students two distinct homestay experiences to enable students to experience both urban and rural environments. Families typically tend to be middle-class, but the middle-class standard of living varies considerably between urban and rural settings.
Zanzibar homestay families welcome students into their family and involve them in many aspects of family life. Students share responsibilities such as cooking, attending religious celebrations, and visiting family friends and relatives. Typically, a student's absorption into a local family facilitates their acceptance and integration into the larger community.
Students have a four-week homestay with a Swahili family in historic Stone Town, a remarkable city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. During their stay in Stone Town, students study and practice Kiswahili in the classroom and at home with their family. Throughout the homestay experience, students participate in and learn more about the day-to-day cultural activities of the family, allowing students to experience Islamic traditions in the Zanzibari context. Homestay families often help students make contacts for their Independent Study Project. Many students stay in touch with their Zanzibar families long after their return to the US.
Students have a one-week homestay with a family on Pemba Island, the other large island in the Zanzibar Archipelago in addition to Unguja.

Winfield & Watson's Custom Car And Hot Rod Gathering - Custom Car And Hot Rod Gathering
Written by on February 1, 2009 Custom Car And Hot Rod GatheringIt's been said some of the best things in life are free, and when it comes to a custom car and hot rod show like Gene Winfield and Larry Watson's first annual gathering, we're here to tell you its true! The flyers for Larry and Gene's October 19, 2008 show started circulating in early June, and the buzz was well on its way to a major clamor by the time we rolled into to Mojave, California to take it all in. In the spirit of carpooling and just hanging out together to raise a little hell I rode up with Bob Ryder, Truckin's tech editor, and Michael Stanford, Street Rodder's art-director. I knew it was going to an incredible day as soon as Bob rolled up in a pitch black '08 Ford pickup that Truckin' had just finished running the wheels off for its truck of the year awards. On the flyer the hours for the gathering were listed from 11 a.m. to till 7 p.m. but somehow the three of us decided to roll out of Orange County at five in the morning, and as luck would have it, it turned out to be a good idea.
By 9:30 a.m. there was already a long line of every kind of cool vehicle parked alongside the highway in front of Gene's shop. We bailed out of the Ford and hoofed it the rest of the way to discover a proverbial custom culture smorgasbord. Check out some of the photos Michael and I shot, and you'll see what I mean. For those of you that would like to attend next year's show it will be held on October 18, 2009. For show information call (661) 824-4728.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3 DSLR with Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit - Black:
Moved from Canon SX30 to this new unit. Love it already, much easier than my old Pentax k1000 with a 400mm telephoto lense that I shot wildlife and motorsports with. I just love the operation of this unit, and with the 75 to 300mm telephoto lense its great for those distance shots.

"The Cosby Show" premiered on Sept. 20, 1984, and hung around for eight seasons, nearly single-handedly reviving the sitcom genre and topping the ratings along the way. Join us for a look at what the show's stars have been up to since its series finale aired on April 30, 1992.
The star of the show was comedian Bill Cosby, who played Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable. The character was an OB/GYN who ran a practice from the office annexed to his home. His playful admonishments of his kids and comical antics provided the driving force for much of the show's humor.
A veteran stand-up performer who previously had starred in the 1960s action show "I Spy" and the sitcom "The Bill Cosby Show" from 1969 to 1971, Cosby also appeared on "The Electric Company" and created the educational cartoon comedy series "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids." After "The Cosby Show" ended in 1992, he starred in the sitcom "Cosby" from 1996 to 2000 and hosted "Kids Say the Darndest Things" for two seasons. He also created the children's TV show "Little Bill," based off his book series of the same name, which ran from 1999 to 2004. He has also become known for his socioeconomic views and public speaking, emphasizing community, personal responsibility, and stronger parenting.
Phylicia Rashad played Dr. Huxtable's wife, Clair Olivia Hanks Huxtable. A successful lawyer and a loving, but no-nonsense, mother, the character was loosely based upon Cosby's real-life wife, Camille Olivia Hanks-Cosby. The role earned Rashad Emmy nominations in 1985 and 1986.
Rashad went on to play Cosby's wife once again in the 1996-2000 sitcom "Cosby." She also teamed up with Cosby to voice the mother in "Little Bill." In 2004, the Houston, Texas, native became the first black actress to win the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play, for her role in the revival of "A Raisin in the Sun." She's also made cameos in the TV shows "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Psych," appeared in the Tyler Perry films "For Colored Girls" and "Good Deeds," and had a supporting role in the short-lived NBC drama "Do No Harm."
Sabrina Le Beauf played Sondra Huxtable, the eldest of the Huxtable's five children. The character made her first appearance midway through the first season as a sophomore at Princeton University. She appeared sporadically during the show's early seasons and in a total of 55 episodes overall. Sondra married her boyfriend, Elvin Tibideaux, in season four and later gave birth to twins Nelson and Winnie (named after Nelson Mandela and his second wife Winnie).
Le Beauf almost missed out on the role of Sondra because she was a mere 10 years younger than her TV mom. A graduate of the Yale School of Drama, she later had a two-episode stint on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and voiced a character in the Nick At Nite animated comedy "Fatherhood," based off Cosby's stand-up act. She most recently starred in the 2009 movie "The Stalker Within." She also studied interior design at UCLA and has her own interior design business.
Lisa Bonet played Denise Huxtable, the second-eldest daughter in the family, known for her sense of fashion and oft-changing hairstyles. Her character left home in season 3 to attend Hillman College, a fictional, historically African-American college, that her mother, father and grandfather had all attended. While the show's producers created a spin-off series, "A Different World," to focus on Denise's life at college, the character was written out of the series after its first season. Denise later traveled to Africa, where she met and married Lt. Martin Kendall, a divorced single father. Bonet left the series during its seventh season.
Bonet, the mother of fellow actress Zoë Kravitz from her first husband, singer/actor Lenny Kravitz, has sporadically made appearances in films such as "Enemy of the State," "High Fidelity" and "Biker Boyz" post-"Cosby Show." Her most recent work includes a five-episode stint on the short-lived TV show "Life on Mars" and a role in the dramatic thriller "Road to Paloma," directed and written by and starring her second husband, "Conan the Barbarian" and "Game of Thrones" actor Jason Momoa.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner played Theo Huxtable, the family's middle child and the Huxtables' only son. Theo's academic struggles and troublemaking tendencies provided many storylines early on in the show's run. As the show went on, his character evolved from being an underachiever to a successful student. While a student at NYU, Theo learned he had dyslexia and he eventually became a student teacher, helping other children with dyslexia at a local education center. In the show's final episode, Theo graduated from NYU with a degree in psychology.
Following his role as Theo Huxtable, Warner appeared in several less popular sitcoms such as "Here and Now," "Malcolm & Eddie" and "Listen Up." Most recently, Warner appeared in the big-screen-flop "Fool's Gold" and the Lifetime TV series "Sherri." He starred in the 2011 BET sitcom "Reed Between the Lines" and has had recent cameos on the TV series "Community," "Key and Peele," "The Michael J. Fox Show," "Major Crimes" and "Sons of Anarchy." He is also a bass player and has released a couple of albums.
Tempestt Bledsoe played the tender-hearted, academic overachiever Vanessa Huxtable, the family's fourth-eldest child. Early on in the show she was portrayed as being nosy and was frequently squabbling with her younger sister, Rudy. At the beginning of the seventh season, Vanessa left for college one year early and the character appeared sporadically in the final two seasons of the series.
Following "The Cosby Show," Bledsoe enjoyed a year-long run as the host of her own daytime talk show, "The Tempestt Bledsoe Show." She's participated in reality TV shows such as "Celebrity Fit Club," "Fear Factor" and "Househusbands of Hollywood," and has had cameos on shows like "The Practice," "Strong Medicine" and "South of Nowhere." In early 2011, she took over as host for the Style Network's "Clean House," replacing long-time host Niecy Nash. She also voiced the character of Sheriff Hooper in the 2012 animated movie "ParaNorman" and starred on the sitcom "Guys with Kids," which lasted 17 episodes before being canceled in February 2013 Bledsoe has reportedly been struggling for decades with a skin condition called vitiligo, which chronically causes de-pigmentation of certain patches of skin.
Keshia Knight Pulliam played Rudy Huxtable, the youngest member of the family. The character became an audience favorite over the years and Pulliam earned an Emmy nomination for her performance in season two, becoming the youngest nominee ever.
The former child star has shown she's all grown up, portraying a prostitute in Tyler Perry's "Madea Goes to Jail" and appearing in lingerie in a video by rapper Chingy in 2004. In 2008, she joined the cast of the TBS sitcom "Tyler Perry's House of Payne," which earned her three NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series out of four straight nominations between 2009 and 2012. In 2013, she made a cameo opposite her former "Cosby" co-star Bledsoe in "Guys with Kids" and also appeared in the TV movie "The Love Letter." She also was recently a contestant on "Celebrity Apprentice."
Geoffrey Owens played Elvin Tibideaux, Sondra's boyfriend, and later, husband. Owens started out as a recurring character in the second and third seasons, but became a regular starting in season four.
Owens has had small parts in the movies "The Paper," "Stonebrook" and "Play the Game" since "The Cosby Show" ended in 1992. He's also had cameos on TV shows, including "That's So Raven," "Law & Order," "Boston Legal," "Las Vegas," "Medium," "FlashForward," "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Most recently he had a small part in the HBO series "The Leftovers." He also teaches acting classes in New York City and played Prince Escalus in a 2013 contemporary Broadway revival of "Romeo and Juliet" that starred Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad (the daughter of his "Cosby Show" mother-in-law) in the title roles.
Joseph C. Phillips played Lt. Martin Kendall, a Navy officer and divorced father who Denise Huxtable unexpectedly married in Africa. The character appeared frequently in the sixth season, but showed up in only a few seventh season episodes. His final appearance came in the season eight episode "Olivia Comes Out of the Closet," in which Kendall was posted to Singapore on a long-term assignment.
Phillips went on to portray attorney Justus Ward on the soap opera "General Hospital" from 1994 to 1998 and had a recurring role on the TV series "The District." He's also had guest roles on TV shows such as "The Larry Sanders Show," "The King of Queens," "Las Vegas," "Jack & Bobby," "Bones," "Castle," "The Mentalist" and "The Event." He's also a conservative Christian commentator and writer.
Raven-Symoné was introduced during the show's sixth season in 1989 as 3-year-old Olivia Kendall, Martin Kendall's daughter and Denise's stepdaughter. She and her father and stepmother lived with Cliff and Clair and she continued to live with them while her parents were in Singapore during the final season.
One year after "The Cosby Show" ended, Raven-Symoné landed a role on the sitcom "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper." That same year, she released her debut album, "Here's to New Dreams," which charted the single "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of" at No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. From 2003 to 2007, she starred in the Disney Channel series "That's So Raven" and soon began acting in films, with roles in "Little Rascals," "Dr. Dolittle" and "College Road Trip." She also starred in the 2003 Disney Channel movie "The Cheetah Girls" and its sequel and the short-lived ABC Family sitcom "State of Georgia." She has also lent her voice to the animated series "Kim Possible" and films, such as Disney's direct-to-video "Tinker Bell" series of movies.
Earle Hyman played Russell Huxtable, Cliff's father, in 40 episodes of "The Cosby Show" despite being only 11 years older than Bill Cosby. In 1986, he earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Performer in a Comedy Series for his role in the episode "Happy Anniversary."
Hyman, who made his Broadway debut as a teenager in 1943, is also known for voicing the character of Panthro on the animated show "ThunderCats." After "The Cosby Show," he made a cameo on Cosby's follow-up sitcom "Cosby." His most recent screen credit came in 2001 in the Canadian TV drama "Twice in a Lifetime."
Clarice Taylor played Anna Huxtable, Cliff's mother, in 19 episodes of "The Cosby Show." She was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1986 for the role. The stage veteran also appeared on shows like "Ironside," "Sanford and Son," "Nurse," "Spenser: For Hire" and "Due South," and in movies such as "Play Misty For Me," "Sommersby" and 1995's "Smoke," which was her last screen appearance. She died from congestive heart failure at age 93 on May 30, 2011.
Erika Alexander played Pam Tucker, Clair Huxtable's distant cousin, on 21 episodes during the show's last two seasons. The daughter of a single mother, Pam came to live with the Huxtables after her mother moved to California to take care of Pam's grandmother.
Alexander went on to star on the sitcom "Living Single" for five seasons. She's also had roles on the TV series "Judging Amy," "Street Time," "Heist" and "In Plain Sight," and in movies such as "54," "Full Frontal" and "Déjà Vu." She had a supporting role on the 2013 AMC crime drama "Low Winter Sun" (pictured) and has had recent recurring roles in the sitcoms "Last Man Standing" and "Let's Stay Together."
The show's semi-regular characters also included the friends of the Huxtable children, with one of the most memorable being Rudy's friend Kenny, or, as Rudy called him, "Bud." The character was played by Deon Richmond, who appeared in 32 episodes over the course of the show.
Richmond went on to play the role of Darren Dixon in the sitcom "Getting By" from 1993 to 1994. In 1997, he joined the sitcom "Sister, Sister" during its fifth season and became a regular during its sixth and final season. He's also had roles in movies like "Scream 3," "Not Another Teen Movie," "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" and "Hatchet," and appeared in a 2014 episode of "Psych." He's seen here in the short-lived 2006 sitcom "Teachers."
Peter Costa played Rudy's silent friend Peter Chiara, who always responded to trouble by running away, on 13 episodes of the show. In 1987, the role would earn him a nomination for a Young Artist Award.
Costa, who made his film debut with an appearance in the 1984 film "The Flamingo Kid," has had only two on-screen appearances since "The Cosby Show," with small roles in the 1990 film "The Lemon Sisters" and the 2003 film "To Be Legendary." He is currently a drummer for three New Jersey-based bands, Torrential Downpour, the Kreptaka Bar Band and PT Grimm.
Carl Anthony Payne II played Walter Bradley, aka "Cockroach," Theo's best friend in high school over 12 episodes during the shows second through fourth seasons. Theo and Cockroach always seemed to be getting into trouble, whether they were listening to a recording of "Macbeth" for a school assignment instead of actually reading the play or planning to shave their heads to audition for a music video.
Payne's brief but memorable run on "The Cosby Show" came to an end when he was let go over his refusal to cut his hair. He went on to star in the sitcom "Martin" as Cole Brown, one of Martin Lawrence's main character's best friends from 1992 to 1997. More recently, he appeared in the BET series "The Game," played Antonio "L.A." Reid in the VH1 biopic "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story," and had a role in the Up TV (formerly Gospel Music Channel) six-episode series "For Richer or Poorer."
Karen Malina White (left) played Charmaine Brown, Pam's best friend. She appeared on "The Cosby Show" for 14 episodes over its last two seasons and also became a regular on the final season of "A Different World."
White, who also starred alongside Morgan Freeman in 1989's "Lean on Me," had recurring roles on "Roc," "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "My So-Called Life," and also starred alongside her "Cosby Show" castmate Malcolm-Jamal Warner in the sitcom "Malcolm & Eddie" from 1996 to 2000. From 2001 to 2005, she also lent her voice to the character of Dijonay Jones on the Disney Channel animated series "The Proud Family." She's most recently had cameos on the TV series "Suits," "Southland" and "The Mentalist."
Michelle Thomas played Justine Phillips, Theo's longtime girlfriend, making appearances in nine episodes from 1988 to 1990. Thomas went on to play Myra Monkhouse, Steve Urkel's girlfriend, on "Family Matters" and briefly played aspiring singer Callie Rogers Stark on the soap opera "The Young and the Restless." She also had a real-life relationship with Malcolm-Jamal Warner. She died of stomach cancer at age 29 in December 1998 with Warner reportedly at her side.
Dondre T. Whitfield played Robert Foreman, Vanessa's boyfriend, appearing in six episodes of the show between 1985 and 1987. Robert was immortalized when Vanessa uttered his name for Stevie Wonder to sample on his keyboard in a guest appearance.
Whitfield had a starring role in the short-lived sitcom "Between Brothers" and played Terrence Frye on the soap opera "All My Children" from 1991 to 1994. He has also had minor roles in movies like "White Man's Burden," "The Salon" and "Mr. 3000," and in TV series such as "The Jamie Foxx Show," "Martin," "Girlfriends," "Ghost Whisperer," "CSI: Miami," "Eureka" and "Cold Case." Most recently he has had recurring roles on the ABC Family drama "Make It or Break It" (pictured) and the primetime soap opera "Mistresses." He also had 2014 cameo on the TV series "Hart of Dixie," playing Lt. Governor Alex Byrd.
Wallace Shawn, best known for movies like "My Dinner with Andre," "The Princess Bride" and "Clueless," played Jeff Engels, the Huxtables' neighbor. He made appearances in four episodes of the series between 1987 and 1991.
Shawn is also known for voicing the character of Rex in the "Toy Story" movies and has recent roles in movies such as "Admission," "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" and "Furry Vengeance," and in TV shows like "Gossip Girl" (pictured), "Eureka," "The L Word" and "The Good Wife."
Before becoming a star on "Saturday Night Live," Adam Sandler made his acting debut in 1987-88 by appearing in four episodes during the fourth season of "The Cosby Show" playing Smitty, Theo's high school friend.
Sandler has gone on to star in such box office hits as "Billy Madison," "Happy Gilmore," "The Wedding Singer," "50 First Dates" and "Grown Ups" (pictured).
Sandler was hardly the only star to make an appearance on "The Cosby Show" before becoming famous. The show also featured a pre-fame appearance by a 5-year-old Alicia Keys, as Maria, a guest at Rudy's sleepover party during a 1985 episode.
Angela Bassett, who would go on to earn an Oscar nomination for portraying Tina Turner in 1993's "What's Love Got to Do With It" and who has also starred in movies like "Boyz n the Hood," "Malcolm X," "Waiting to Exhale" and "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," appeared in single episodes in 1985 and 1988, playing a different character each time.
Just as she was becoming one of the world's most famous supermodels, Naomi Campbell appeared in two episodes of "The Cosby Show" in 1988, playing Julia, a girl Theo yearned to date.
Before going on to star in the sitcom "Head of the Class" in the late 1980s, Robin Givens got her start in acting by playing one of Denise Huxtable's friends in a 1985 episode of "The Cosby Show."
Vanessa A. Williams, who would go on to appear in the TV shows "Melrose Place," "Soul Food" and "Murder One," appeared as two different friends of Theo's, first playing Jade in two episodes during the show's fifth season and then Cheryl in two episodes in the seventh season.
Before finding fame in the late 1980s on "L.A. Law," Blair Underwood was getting his feet wet with small parts in various TV shows, including a two-episode stint on "The Cosby Show" as one of Denise's boyfriends.
Gilbert Gottfried made a memorable appearance in a 1987 episode, blowing Dr. Huxtable's cover while Cliff and Theo are dressed down and posing as poorer customers to get a bargain price on a new car.
The same episode also featured an appearance by comedian Sinbad, who played the car salesman and who would go on to star in "A Different World."
The show also had its fair share of guest appearances by established stars, many of them famous musicians, reflecting Cosby's own passion for music. Among them was Stevie Wonder, who memorably played himself in a 1986 episode in which the entire Huxtable family visited the Motown legend in the studio after Denise had a fender bender with his chauffeured limousine.
Jazz great Lena Horne (far right) also played herself in 1985, singing to Cliff on his birthday in the first season's final episode.
Tito Puente, known as "The King of Latin Music," played a musician in a 1986 episode where Cliff's Dad performed with a band, whose other members also were played by jazz greats Art Blakey, Jimmy Heath and Joe Wilder.
Jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie played Mr. Hampton, Vanessa's music teacher, in a 1984 episode.
Sammy Davis Jr. played Ray Palomino, the estranged, illiterate grandfather of a young woman about give birth on her own, in a 1989 episode.
Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo guest starred in a fifth season episode in 1989 as Alberto Santiago, one of Cliff's colleagues who gives Clair a much needed 46th birthday boost by signing "Bessame Mucho" to her.
Blues guitarist B.B. King played Riley Jackson, "The King of the Blues," in a 1990 episode. After seeing Jackson perform at a blues club, Theo and Elvin discover that he's friends with Cliff and Clair. Jackson paid a visit to the Huxtable home later in the episode, at one point even singing the blues with Rudy's friend Kenny.
