There maybe more but these were the 2 that I saw recently. One stupid moment was when he and Theo met a new student in the Hallway who was a pretty girl. So if that was the case why would he tell the new Girl to call him COCKROACH??-lol And the other Stupid moment was when he and Theo was pretending to be in the The Real World and when he was pretending to be Theo's Employer, when Vanessa was the Banker and asked him can "I have the telephone number to your company" Why would cockroach say he didn't have one?-lol If they were role playing why didn't he just make up a number? Stupid Cockroach-lol

Why would anyone want to be called Cockroach anyway?

The guy who played cockroach was in a disagreement with Bill Cosby about his hair and he refused to change it so he left the show. Bill Cosby didn't want him using chemicals in his hair. He had like a S-Curl

He didn't want to cut his hair so he was axed from the show. He went on to play Cole on "Martin"

It had nothing to do with his hair length, it was what he was using, the chemicals, Duke, that stuff you put in your hair so you can have a S-Curl or Waves. If you don;t believe me watch Cockroach's last appearance on the Cosby Show and you will see that he has that type of hairstyle. It had nothing to do with him cutting his hair because Vanessa had a slanted Afro in season 5

I know. But it has been a while since I seen Martin. For some reason I see Cole bald. What kind of hairstyle did he have there? refresh my memory...

He had a low cut in the first two seasons of Martin and then when Afro's became popular in 1994, he had a afro for two seasons in a row

When I watched THS they said that it was because he didn't want to cut his hair so he was out because Mr. Cosby doesn't play.

Probably the REAL challenge would be to find two INTELLIGENT Cockroach moments during the show...
