I had no idea that Earle (Grandpa Huxtable) Hyman Was A Successful Voice Actor - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Earle Hyman's other great 80's role was as Cliff Huxtable's father 'Russell' in The Cosby Show. He was born on October 11, 1926 in Rocky Mount North Carolina. In 2001 after more than 55 years and 2,135 Broadway performances he retired from he biz. Panthro and Mumra were by far my favorite characters on TC. There was however one one unfulfilled wish of mine that I wanted Panthro to perform. That being once for P to bust out the chucks and abuse Lion-O and Snarf. I bet he threw his fight with Lion-O because he didn't want the responsibility of leadership.

He gave us a little of his voice work in the Julius Cesear episode with Cockroach and Theo in season 3
