Kenny "Bud"

Kenny or "Bud", is a recurring character on The Cosby Show. The part of Kenny is played by Deon Richmond.

About Kenny
Kenny is Rudy's childhood friend. He initially expresses a lot of sexist views, such as believing that a wife shouldn't have a job, should cook for him and be older than him so she can die before him. His statements frequently annoy Rudy and she often proves him wrong. Most, if not all, of his misogynist views come from his older brother, who is the stereotypical lazy "loser." As Kenny gets older, some of these attitudes gradually start to go away. In a later episode, he acknowledges that a lot of the things his brother says are inaccurate. By the last episode, he considers Theo more of a brother to him than his biological brother.
