What The Cast Of A Different World Looks Like Today

A Different World might have started as a Cosby Show spin-off, but over the course of its six seasons, it established itself as a major success in its own right. We're taking a look at what the cast have been up to since A Different World ended.

Lisa Bonet played Denise Huxtable, daughter of the central family on The Cosby Show. When the character graduated high school, she was spun off into her own show, leaving Philadelphia for Hillman College in Virginia. Denise spent the first season of A Different World navigating the trials and tribulations faced by many college freshmen, including making new friends, dealing with romantic entanglements, and, most prominently, struggling to maintain her grades.

Bonet's time on the show would be fleeting, as a pregnancy led to her departure after just one season. She briefly returned to The Cosby Show, but "creative differences" arose, and she parted ways with it once and for all in 1991. From there, she embarked on a complex career, with notable roles in films like 2000's High Fidelity and on TV shows like Life on Mars and Ray Donovan. She's also been fairly famous for her personal life, first marrying rock star Lenny Kravitz, and later partnering with Game of Thrones and Aquaman hunk Jason Momoa. In an interesting bit of synergy, her daughter with Kravitz, Zoe, plays the lead in Hulu's series adaptation of High Fidelity.

Originally, A Different World was conceived as a show about a white girl's experience attending a historically Black college. It was retooled, making Denise the lead and her best friend Maggie Lauten the fish-out-of-water white girl. Cast in that role was a young actress who would go on to become a household name: Marisa Tomei. A military brat, Maggie was one of Denise's roommates, as well as a journalism major involved in a long-distance relationship. Showrunner Debbie Allen wanted Tomei to continue on the show in season two, but the actress decided, instead, to depart, and Maggie quietly disappeared from the cast of characters.
