The guy who played Elvin on The Cosby Show.....

Trader Joe's is one of the best jobs in retail, they treat their workers pretty good. At least he doesn't work at walmart

He used to teach classes at Uta Hagen's school. Granted, Uta made them give half their salary back to the school.

I think he also went to Yale. You'd think they could use their connections to find something for him. (Meryl, find this guy a job)

His father was also a politician in the House of Representatives. Doesn't he have any connections through that?

People who've left the spotlight should be left alone.

People like this guy and Nikki Blonsky should be allowed to live their lives without having to spend each day of their lives justifying it to random people when they take regular jobs and live normal lives.

It's different if you're Data Plato or a laundry list of other people who stay in the news for all the wrong reasons. But other folks shouldn't have to be reminded that their lives may have been better and their dreams are merely an echo of their past.

[quote]It's different if you're Data Plato or a laundry list of other people who stay in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Why is Miss Plato always the go to name for fucked up child actresses. I was one too ya know? Where's the respect?

Actually, it's the same for Dana Plato, but whatever R3.

At least he's not on crack and homeless, like so many other unemployed actors.

The guy is earning an honest living. Leave him alone.

[quote]Wearing an ID badge bearing his name, the balding 57-year-old sported a stained Trader Joe’s T-shirt while manning his post.

I thought everyone at TJ's wore Hawaiian shirts.

Dana Plato continued to put herself in the news by committing crimes.

Erin Moran also continued to put herself in the news by providing interviews to air her grievances.

It's one thing to do a story on the "plight" of someone who might now be homeless or in trouble. But, if person is just working and living his life, it's seems more like mockery, than anything else. I mean, noting the "stained" t-shirt just seems intended to humiliating him. He's working in a grocery store where staining from activity is likely to occur. It's not like he's Matthew Perry or some other wealthy star going out unshaven and bloated in filthy rags. People who work get dirty.

Dana Plato was abused her whole life. She came from foster homes or whatever it was. The only pattern she knew was abuse. She killed herself at 34. What is your problem?

As others have said, just let the guy have his life. It’s cruel to mock him - he’s working.

this is story is ridiculous. The man is a working actor, look at his IMDB Page.. He's done television shows the last two years. Obviously, he needs the money for whatever reason. Just because you made money doesn't mean you've kept money.

His mother shouldn't have talked to the reporter.

The guy has a very respectable acting career and has had parts on Broadway and Off Broadway and on many television shows. Do you have any idea how many aspiring actors would kill for his resume?

This is hack reporting.

[quote]Dana Plato was abused her whole life. She came from foster homes or whatever it was. The only pattern she knew was abuse. She killed herself at 34. What is your problem?

I'm no blaming her. I'm simply saying that there is a qualitative difference in reporting on someone like her whose actions continued to make her newsworthy and other people who've gone on to live quiet lives, where that normalcy is mocked.

I like him. He used to drink coffee and read at the café on the UWS that I like to go to in the 90s. At least he isn't on drugs or welfare. He is taking care of his business and there is dignity in that. I really hope peace and happiness.

this café

Asshole article. I guess he has a gap in employment or has lost his money. He has worked steadily. As noted by r11, a very nice acting career many would envy. Fuck off Radar online for trying to humiliate a man for taking care of his responsibilities.

And his mother is a bit of a drama queen butthole for talking to them

The person who tipped off the reporter (his own mother for chrissakes!!) is the one who's at blame here. Of course this man should be able to do whatever the fuck he wants.

Radar Online is a shit publication anyway. Should have started there.

He had a small part in The Affair last year.

He is an accomplished actor, something that shit stain publication Radar Online can't claim. Go pick on someone who deserves it. Disgusted by this culture sometimes

Also, with NYC being so expensive, it's easy to understand why he has a side gig working at TJ's. There is probably flexibility in the schedule which allows performers/actors who need to to audition, etc.

[quote]Trader Joe's is one of the best jobs in retail, they treat their workers pretty good.

That's abundantly obvious from the fact that they employ lots of white Americans (who simply won't work somewhere if it's not an AWESOME place to work).

Maybe he likes working there.

Maybe they offer a great benefits/medical package.

Who cares. If I went through his line I'd tell him jow much I enjoyed his work.

[quote]Trader Joe's is one of the best jobs in retail, they treat their workers pretty good.

Their cashiers are the worst.

Cashier: Oh, I love these cookies. They go great with chai tea.

Me: STFU and give me my change. I want to go home.

One of these days when a cashier starts that, I'm going to hand the product to them and say, "On your recommendation, I don't want this now."

Trader Joe's cashiers are like Chick-Fil-A cashiers.

"It's my pleasure."

"Honey, I know pleasure, and that's not it."

Don't be a snide shit, R23. Cashiers are just trying to get through their day same as you.

Maybe he owns the place.

Someone should cast him and Jordan Peele as father and son

[QUOTE]When Radar called Owen and asked about Trader Joe’s, he slammed down the phone

Mary!

He could be researching / prepping for a role.

He gained weight.

30 years later, I did too.

Hunt down Karma Lawrence...it’s her fault that he was exposed.

In addition to other valid points in this thread, I also have to wonder why people seem to believe actors deserve everlasting fame. Many people have had to take les prestigious jobs in order to survive. Why should it be different for someone just because he had a fairly high profile supporting role thirty years ago?

Also, be grateful he doesn't have to write poems for pharmaceutical companies.

he's great in its always sunny.

I'll trade lives with him.

This article talks about how the pay scale for guest television actors has crashed in recent years. With the 5 million original series being produced right now, costs are shaved where possible, and guest actors have taken the brunt of it. So even though Owens has been working, it's quite likely he doesn't earn very much. This article cites $900 for a day's work in some cases, which is likely around what he made.

With the exception of Rashad who still does theater and the occasional film, none of the Cosby kids never really broke through into mainstream success (even though his character was his son in law). It sucks having to deal with the public on any level. So I respect him and lot of retail and food workers for this. At least he still works as an actor. Probably just trying to make ends meet.

It happens to the best.

BEST SCENE EVER, R39. May you be rewarded for that.

[quote] People like this guy and Nikki Blonsky

What's Blonsky doing these days?

What is Cockroach doing?

Elvin? I always thought his name was Alvin.

Better than what Pill Cosby ended up to be.

I don't blame the guy, he's working, making money, not taking drugs and being a stupid attention whore like lots of actors these days.

It's difficult for most actors to live on just their acting roles. Even successful ones can't always sustain the same level of income throughout their career. There is always ebb and flow. Some take behind the camera jobs, others take jobs outside the entertainment business. He probably work at the store either part time or between gigs. Good for him.

He was supremely cute on the show.

Irresistible smile.

The article is mean spirited - in a strange way too mean for Datalounge.

I agree that when people leave the spotlight, they deserve to live as citizens at whatever level of privacy they choose.

The man works for a living, nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, this article made me feel yucky. The thought of people whispering and giggling at someone like that. It just seems cruel.

Those who giggle are probably drug addicts themselves, so. Let them giggle until they stumble into the sewer.

He better bring the woman in his life some coffee!

r38 Malcolm-Jamal Warner works all the time. He's been on many TV series as a regular or a recurring character.

Most important question: does he get a discount at Trader Joe's?

And has NO ONE speculated on whether or not he's gay? What has happened to my Datalounge?

The only person who should be humiliated is the asshole who thought this was "investigative journalism." What a disgrace this loser must be to think we should essentially look down on a man for having a "regular" job, just because he was once a TV show.

To the asshole who wrote it, no Pulitzer is ever coming your way.

once ON a TV show*

[quote]he's great in its always sunny.

The crackwhore was perfection.

This man is not very business savvy. Reality tv was designed for washed up sitcom stars.

I'm not sure why a medical secretary couldn't leave the guy alone and just go about her business. He just doing his job and living his life. Meanwhile, Ms. Newark NJ found it all necessary to get up in his business.

An ugly, unnecessary, mean-spirited article. Why on earth mock and humiliate this man? What did he do to deserve such embarrassment?

And I'm guessing he makes more working at Trader Joe's than the asshole reporter who wrote this garbage.

Unforgivable article. But what the hell happened to the man’s looks? He used to be adorable and now there’s not even a trace of his younger, sexy self. It’s weird.

R59 it’s called being in your 50s, genius.

Hey...it's happens. I was a very successful child actor, but hit a dry period in my 20s and spent most of my childhood earnings...I still act when I can on television, theater and film....but also work part time at Sears to have a steady income. Not all actors on a hit show are set for life....

R3 Nikki Blonsky is still desperately clinging to whatever scraps of fame she can get.

WOW. Awkward

Nikki Blonsky...Nikki Blonsky...Nikki Blonsky...What a beautiful, beautiful name.....

Is it THAT surprising? Not everyone who lands an acting good, even a good one, is destined for stardom and riches. I remember him showing up in an episode of It's Always Sunny a few years ago, but don't remember him doing anything consistently outside of Cosby. And, maybe it's been said, but I respect that he's doing what he needs to do; not being entitled, acting like he can't be a cashier because he'd be too embarassed. Elvin can't be the first actor to go on to a "plain" job/career.

Oh, and her looks like an adorable adult Ewok.

Jesus Christ. I'm down a Nikki clickhole

There's a whole separate thread on this.

Nikki does this Cameo service that lame people buy for $20 (Dina Lohan charges $75). Elvin could do something like that, people idolize celebs in America, even the has-beens or Dina Lohans. Though I think working at Trader Joes is more respectable and has better benefits.

Nikki Blonsky has been a Reddit meme staple for a good couple of years.

Even the comments section at the link is ripping radar. And I love that they refer to it as "exclusive" like it was a real get worthy of Woodward and Bernstein.

And the OP in that "whole separate thread" apologized when he realized he'd created a duplicate, r68, so sit the hell down.

Good for him. Work is work. Money is money, and we all need and want money.

And let's remember Cosby cost ALL of the cast to lose out on residuals because of his criminal behavior.

[quote]The person who tipped off the reporter (his own mother for chrissakes!!) is the one who's at blame here. Of course this man should be able to do whatever the fuck he wants.

I doubt his elderly mother tipped off the dumb reporter. She was just duped by this vulture reporter.

R73 Good point. The regular incoming funds from the Cosby Show residuals have probably diminished considerably, so the actors that relied on the money to supplement their income no longer have that.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

It's a job.

He's working. Good for him.

This is so fucked up to make fun of him like this.

Justin Bateman calls the person who did this "TRASH" tweeting

So, 26 years after one TV job, this guy looks differently (shock) and is earning an honest living at a Trader Joe’s. The people taking his picture and passing judgment are trash.

I’ll also add that GeoffreyOwens is one of the VERY few people on the planet who has acted on a hit TV show. That is something I’m certain that Karma Lawrence has never, and will never do. #Respect

The loss of residuals has to hurt. He has at least one credit a year since the Cosby show. So he's tried to act and is still an actor, but obviously he needs to supplement his income, even more so now. So he teaches theater, works at TJs, and whatever else. It's the life that most people lead - doing what you gotta do to pay the bills. Far from shameful.

Casting director Jen Euston tweets

This really pisses me off. I’m a fan of Geoffrey’s & when he’s right for something I always bring him in to read. He’s talented & I think age looks great on him! Check out his IMDB page. He’s a working actor in NY. But guess what? Actors can’t make living wages like that anymore.

Former "Little House" actress, now business anchor Melissa Francis tweets

As a former series regular who also worked for minimum wage AFTER Hollywood I respect the hell out of Owens - every paycheck has dignity no matter the size

Is TJ minimum wage? I know it doesn't pay a ton, but is it technically more than minimum? Though, NYC area might have a higher minimum.

Honest work - good for him. The journalist is the pathetic one. I always thought Geoffrey was cute, I’d still let him nail me.

I bet this will get him a few more acting jobs.

I guess it's true what they say.

Karma is a bitch.

[quote]Justin Bateman

Has she transitioned?

I’d still suck his dick.

Justine Bateman followed up with this:

Justine Bateman @JustineBateman

A special note for the few who are critical of this post, who insist that “we’re making it worse by spreading the story,” Geoffrey Owens contacted me directly to express his gratitude for the post and for all the positive responses.

[quote] I’d still suck his dick.

I bet it's a nice thick one

If not for bro Jason supporting her, Justine would be a 3rd shift stocker at Big Lots.

Americans are the worst. If you’re on welfare you’re trash. If you’re working a minimum wage job you’re trash. If you’re a black president you’re trash. Basically Americans hate the poor (and black people). We get it.

R93, thank you for visiting, President of Munchkinland. We admit we err regularly, but not much more so than everyone else on Planet Earth. Send our regards to Glinda the Good and one day we'll tell you how she got that name.

[quote]Is TJ minimum wage? I know it doesn't pay a ton, but is it technically more than minimum? Though, NYC area might have a higher minimum.

It's more than minimum wage. The store he's working at is in New Jersey. He's probably living there because it's cheaper than NYC and he can commute in for auditions or acting gigs.

Trader Joe's is a great job if you want flexible part-time work. It's well above minimum wage and they have fantastic health insurance and benefits, which you're eligible for at a low hourly threshold.

It's a shitty article, but Geoffrey is going to have the last laugh — he'll get a ton of acting offers from this.

He should play Cosby in the inevitable biopic. I see a little gold statue in his future!

R93 you mean that same Black president that AMERICANS voted for TWICE?

Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself

I agree with others, leave him alone. Many former actors take ordinary jobs, there'd nothing wrong with that.

Interesting the show was such a massive hit and not one of the younger actors could break out into stardom. Bonet tried but failed. Malcolm still eeks out a living as an actor. Too lazy to imdb the other ones. Yet it’s not unheard of for actors to be pretty typecast after a hit show. In fact probably happens more often than not.

Raven Symone sort of broke out. It was only one show, but it was big and it was something totally separate from the Cosby show.

That’s So Raven was actually quite big during its Run, r101.

Maybe not all the Cosby kids wanted to stay in the business.

I think we mentally lock people into place, especially when they are young actors, far too often. It’s a hyper-competitive, often ugly business to be in. Why should we question when someone moves in another direction? Or if someone needs to supplement irregular income with a regular job, especially one offering health insurance?

Don't forget my talk show!

[quote]I thought everyone at TJ's wore Hawaiian shirts.

That was 20 years ago. Most TJs switched to tshirts in 1988, then eventually ditched uniform tops altogether.

R93 fuck the idiots on here. I understood completely what you were saying and agreed.

R98, you idiot, this so-called news about Owens is aimed at the same deplorables who think Obama is trashy.

I was sad to see him get this kind of attention.

I may have to go back to retail myself, after almost 20 years in the corporate world, because I just cannot find a job. And it makes me very sad, but I feel a bit more pride that all work is good work and deserves respect.

It was some lesbian that took that photo.

Does Trader Joe's offer health insurance?

R109 Apparently yes

He was the one married to Shia Leboeuf on the show? Not Lisa Bonet, right?

“I may have to go back to retail myself, after almost 20 years in the corporate world, because I just cannot find a job. And it makes me very sad, but I feel a bit more pride that all work is good work and deserves respect.”

Don’t feel bad, you weren’t a better person when you were in the corporate world than you are now.

That's the big draw of Trader Joe's as a part-time job — they have always let you get on the company health insurance at a part-time level.

Karma’s a bitch.

Karma being Karma Lawrence, I hasten to add, the hag who snapped Geoffrey’s photo and sold it to the Daily Mail with the words,

“I would have thought after The Cosby Show he would maybe be doing something different. It was a shock to see him working there and looking the way he did. It made me feel really bad. I was like, ‘Wow, all those years of doing the show and you ended up as a cashier.’”

What about his tits, R76? What would you do with them?

I don't think there is anything remotely shameful about working at Trader Joe's. When I retire and move out to the boonies, I'll never be able to find a part time gig in my field. There's a good chance I'll end up doing something like Mr. Owens. I won't be old enough to collect Soc.Sec. so a part-time job with health insurance doesn't sound so bad at all to me.

Who gives a fuck where he works....is he gay and available? Woof!

OP, so what's your point, cunt?

Karma Lawrence is a fucking cunt.

What happened to his and Sondra's wilderness store?

[quote]“I would have thought after The Cosby Show he would maybe be doing something different. It was a shock to see him working there and looking the way he did. It made me feel really bad. I was like, ‘Wow, all those years of doing the show and you ended up as a cashier.’”

She's despicable.

One doesn't "work a cashier." One works as a cashier at a cash register.

[quote]What is Cockroach doing?

Funny you ask as there were reports he was working as a car salesman a few years after "Martin" went off the air.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. Are you all insane???

He’s a man, working at a job and getting paid for it, like most Americans. Listen, assholes, I’ve met people who have graduated from Ivy Leagues, who have driven taxis and limos for a living. Another one I knew worked as a carpenter.

You guys are jerks. A job is a job, and he has nothing to be ashamed of.

R125, have you actually read the thread?

Most people are going after the assholes who wrote the article.

This is worse than when Sondra would Pwhip him in most every episode.

R125 Clearly you spent one second looking at this thread before you shat out nonsense.

Most of us are defending him. Read the thread....you fat whore!

I don't know why Karma thinks that it's so bad to be a cashier. Some people probably don't want to sit on their ass all day long. And also, if you're a "people person", you might thrive in an environment where you make small talk with different people all day long. When you leave your job at the end of the day, you don't stress about deadlines over the weekend. And you get a discount on your groceries.

Also, I think he looks great. If he lost some weight, then, damn....

He's a daddy bear!

The New Yorker weighs in.

And so has Sag-Aftra. These are great tweets.

He was doing... ummm... research.

So? At least he's working. There's dignity in all work, provided it's done correctly.

Wow, for what accounts this almost unanimous, gracious defense of a humble working actor? Not that he’s not deserving, but this is DL, where we’re regularly asking the burn victim why she was stupid enough to sleep in a house on fire. R125 assumed that this thread woyld be mean for a reason.

I don’t think the fascination is entirely malicious, even if the article’s tone was nasty. We hold celebrities in such high esteem that witnessing them doing everyday activities is mind boggling. Layer onto that our assumption that celebrities are rich, and you have an object of fascination without any necessary schadenfreude.

I think that running this article via the Daily Fail and Fucks News implied that a black man who was once successful, wasn’t able to manage his money wisely, thus, he’s working as a cashier @ TJ’s.

I can name two well known actors right now, that I personally know, who are doing something other than solely acting, in order to make money. Interestingly enough, neither of them are black men. Wonder why they haven’t received any attention for their off screen work???

I'm changing my name to Data Plato

[R136] We all family here tell us of these two actors. You don't have say their name, but give us a hint. Thanks love

Tyler Perry is offering him a job.

His smile is infectious.

Karma is also a lesbian.

The only laugh at loud moment of The Cosby Show is the scene where Elvin impersonates Cosby's voice while lecturing the girls (Vanessa and Rudy).

It was a female customer, who took his photo. Elvin was the check out of her groceries.

Already mentioned ^^. Karma, being her first name, is coming right back at her.

Geoffrey, not Elvin.. R143.

In her selfish, cowardly way she did him a YUGE favor by exploiting him.

All these posts and nobody asked who R61 is? Who are you? Any hints? Better yet, any gossip?

Interestingly, he graduated from Yale with honors and is the son of a former United States Congressman. Fascinating dude.

I love how Karma is trying to backpedal, as if taking the pic was the only thing she did that was wrong. Her comments were in poor taste too.

I am thinking the actor is the cutie from Who's The Boss?

"Interestingly, he graduated from Yale with honors and is the son of a former United States Congressman."

He was completely estranged from his father. Don't know the whole story, but Geoffrey and two brothers were from his fathers first marriage, then Dad got remarried and had two more kids. Maybe he wasn't that involved in their lives. Though, he was married to the first wife for 25 years, so who knows the reason.

Geoffrey had been working there for 15 months and said he got recognised every day. So every day for over a year someone said “Hi! Weren’t you Ervin? Take care man” and one bitch sells him out to the tabloids.

One bitch in 15 months.

I saw his interview with Robin Roberts and he didn't seem particularly traumatized about being "outed." He just said, "you gotta do what you gotta do to pay the bills." He also explained that acting isn't always a road to riches, and thanked everyone for their support. Finally, he said that while he'd gladly take auditions because of this exposure, he doesn't want to just be given roles because of this. He was very classy.

It was an excellent interview- what a well spoken guy. Not surprising I guess, Yale grad, actor and acting professor.

He was on CNN tonight and seems like a nice guy. He did say people forget the Cosby show was 26 years ago, and he does theater-but everyone knows it doesn't pay well.

I'm blanking on the actress's name that was in Sideways, but she said she was in foreclosure right before she got that part.

Virginia Madsen Sandra Oh?

Those are the two female leads from Sideways. Giamatti's ex-wife and Thomas Hayden-Church's fiancee are more minor roles.

Link to the GMA INTERVIEW. He’d been working at TJs for 15 months before the story broke.

Virginia Madsen.

This would make a great movie plot ala In and Out without the gay angle.

[quote] but this is DL, where we’re regularly asking the burn victim why she was stupid enough to sleep in a house on fire.

OMG I want this on a t-shirt. Perfectly said.

They are worse than Claire in shaming this fine man.

Karma is a lesbian. Her kind hates men and is always looking for new ways to humiliate those born with the penis blessing.

Karma is a medical secretary and I think her job is in jeopardy. She's in charge of a lot of confidential information and she clearly can't keep her big mouth shut. I wouldn't want her looking over my files.

The Fail really took it on the chin with the article. They closed the comments section which was blasting them.

Nicki Minaj Explains Why She's Giving Geoffrey Owens $25,000

Nicki Minaj is all about giving back.

On Wednesday, the "MotorSport" rapper revealed on her Beats 1 Queen Radio show that she is donating $25,000 to former Cosby Show actor Geoffrey Owens after he was shamed for working at Trader Joe's. ET caught up with Minaj at the Daily Front Row Fashion Awards in NYC, where she explained why she wanted to help out the actor.

"Some people are on the internet and seeking attention, and he’s just the antithesis of that. So I felt like, 'Oh my God, could you imagine?'" she told ET during the event's red carpet. "We all have done jobs like that and I just thought, what if that were me? Or a family member and they were minding their own business, working to feed their family and somebody tried to humiliate them? I don’t like the way that feels."

Minaj, meanwhile, confirmed to ET that she was going to reach out to Owens, who is best known for playing Sondra Huxtable's doctor husband, Elvin Tibideaux, on The Cosby Show. "Tell him that I’m going to have my team contact him because I hope he doesn’t take it the wrong way," she said. "I just want to help him in any way I can."

During her radio show, the rapper was upset someone would take a photo of the actor while he was "bagging groceries to feed his family."

"That man is now getting so many opportunities," Minaj expressed. "I personally want to donate on behalf of Queen Radio $25,000 to Geoffrey Owens. You know why? Imma tell you something. This man is a whole f**king legend in these streets."

Owens made headlines this week after a woman snapped photos of him while he was working at the grocery store. The pictures were later published by multiple outlets. The 57-year-old actor then appeared on Good Morning America to talk about the attention he had received after being shamed for having a job at Trader Joe's. Owens, however, also received a slew of positive and supportive messages from fans and fellow actors.

Tyler Perry even tweeted that he was offering Owens a role on one of his OWN shows. ET sat down with Owens this week, where the actor expressed his gratitude and thanked Perry for the offer.

"That was kind of cool. I mean, that kind of sounded like he was saying, 'Come work with me.' I'm so, like, skeptical. Like, really?" Owens told ET. "Are you actually saying come work with me? Because we've never worked together before. So, that's a very, very generous thing for him to say. And we'll see what happens with that. But, that's encouraging."

Owens has actually stopped working at Trader Joe's for now but is thankful for the outpouring love and support.

"When I quit, the guys at the store said, you know, 'Don't quit, let's keep it open, let's have it like an indefinite leave of absence,'" he shared. "OK, that's cool, that's great, but basically I left at that point because I felt like, just for my personal sake, my dignity and my emotional wellbeing, I didn't want to be in the store while I felt like people might be staking out the place as they did, actually. People came to the store and they were staking it out and stuff. I didn't feel like that was going to be good for my spiritual being, so I felt like I needed to at least temporarily step out, and I think that was the wise thing to do, actually."

Tyler Perry is just giving him a job because he wants to sip on some Geoffrey Owens’ ding.

R164, I wondered how the Fail responded to the boomerang. Won't stop them but good. I like how this story turned out and I hope every asshole along the supply chain learned something.... from the people who took the freak show pictures and sold them onward to the lets sell souls in editorial at the Fail. The best we can hope for these days is that normal people reinterpret their intentions and show them up for what they are, which mostly happened, and that's a good thing.

I think Owens said the most thoughtful and articulate thing. In spite of the fact that the Fail tried inspire the worst in people, and ironically, it inspired the best in them.

I'm astonished, considering what high art The Cosby Show was, brimming with superior talent..

Thanks for the link r157. Great interview.

Geoffrey Owens appeared on NCIS New Orleans!

He did mention in an interview that residuals had dried up because of the Cosby indictment.

Also, the $25k that Niki minaj gave him, he donated to charity.

He is a class act.

I hope he does porn. I wanna look at that thick hairy dong.

[quote]Tyler Perry is just giving him a job because he wants to sip on some Geoffrey Owens’ ding.

I think Tyler likes his studs to be young and hot. I'm judging this by the men he cast in his films. They are beyond goodlooking.

Geoffrey has a nice round brown belly. I wonder if it is lightly downed with soft black hair?
