Media ridiculing former Cosby Show star for working at grocery store

Faded Cosby Show star Geoffrey Owens is now a “starving actor” working as a cashier at Trader Joe’s! An exclusive RadarOnline.com investigation discovered Owens — who played Elvin Tibideaux on the long-running sitcom — scanning groceries in Clifton, N.J., for around $11 an hour.
People are so hateful. I’m sure Elvin had to swallow his pride and take that job. He should be commended and not ridiculed. This type of shite really pisses me off.

Agreed. Obviously something went very wrong for him but there's nothing wrong with an honest living.

Unless you piss people off online.

Supposedly Trader Joe’s has a great benefits package.

I’d rather work in a grocery store than chase teenage actors/musicians around Hollywood taking pictures and asking them dumb questions.

Has he acted in anything since The Cosby Show? Has he been looking for acting work?

Other alumni of The Cosby Show have done worse.

I imagine he did before applying to Trader Joe’s.

I think he pretended to be Tiger Woods in an episode of Always Sunny

This dude was "on" the show. He did not star on the show.
If they want to ridicule him, do it right.

Something didn't necessarily go wrong for him - maybe he stuck in acting too long. That's a tough career if you're not an A lister and it can turn on a dime.
If he's not a drug addict or getting arrested, Trader Joe's is probably a great place to work if you just need a job. Everyone there seems happy. Society laments celebrity culture then the media goes out and does a story like this.

He's had a pretty good career, it's hard to believe his net worth is only $500k

While he wasn’t THE star, he was a star. Everyone who watched tv during that time knew who Elvin was.

No kidding. Some of them made porn. Sometimes their costars were even conscious and consenting.

He was on two episodes of Always Sunny as Donovan McNabb and Tiger Woods
