While Allen's hand definitely made a huge difference, much of the show's popularity was thanks to its intensely charismatic cast, who managed to be both hilarious and capable of real dramatic depth. It's no surprise so many of them have gone on to long and interesting careers after graduating from A Different World. Here's where they are today, and how they got there.
When the character graduated high school, she was spun off into her own show, leaving Brooklyn 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 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. It was retooled, making Denise Huxtable 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 Huxtable's roommates, as well as a journalism major involved in a long-distance relationship.
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. Tomei, however, went on to bigger things. She was nominated for two more Oscars, for 's In the Bedroom and 's The Wrestler , and has plied her craft successfully in both comedies and dramas.
Season one of A Different World acquainted us with Whitley Gilbert, a snobby Hillman student whose stuck-up attitude was often played for laughs, in contrast to her more down-to-Earth classmates. The character, however, proved popular, and when Bonet left the show, Whitley was moved into a central role. Her personality was also mellowed and given added depth, and her opposites-attract romance with the nerdy Dwayne Wayne became one of the series' central arcs.
Whitley remained involved with Hillman as a dorm director even after graduating, and ended the series married to Dwayne Wayne and carrying the couple's first child. This success lead Guy to a long and active career as an actor, dancer, and choreographer, as well as a director of stage productions. With his trademark flip-up sunglasses, nerdy charisma, and rhyming name, Dwayne Wayne seemed destined for pop culture resonance from his first appearance on A Different World.
The character started out in a supporting capacity but became central to the show in season two, fueled largely by his on-again, off-again romance with Whitley.
As the years went on, he lived in Japan, became a math professor, and, in the end, staged a grand gesture to win the love of his life. The character was praised in the press and remains fondly remembered.
Kadeem Hardison's performance as Dwayne Wayne made him one of A Different World 's breakout stars, and the actor has gone on to a long and incredibly prolific career in film and television.
