Fans Rally Behind ?Cosby Show? Actor Geoffrey Owens After Outlets Shame Him For Gig At Trader Joe?s
Celebrity status doesn?t equate to financial freedom but the notion exists, creating false ideas and assumptions about those who bare a talent we don?t possess. It?s also what caused many gossip and news outlets to shame former Cosby Show actor Geoffrey Owens for having a side gig at Trader Joe?s.
On Friday (Aug. 31), a story regarding the theater actor was published by Daily Mail and shared on Fox News when customer Karma Lawrence snapped a photo of Owens working at a Trader Joe?s in Clifton, New Jersey. Lawrence, who is the wife of the store?s security manager, said she was shopping when she noticed the 57-year-old.
She went on to call the moment a ?shock? to her. ?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 said.
The story was picked up by a number of places but that didn?t stop fans from coming to Owens defense. Owens is not only an acting teacher at the Herbert Berghof Studio in New York but a consistently working actor.
He?s appeared on plenty of critically acclaimed series like Elementary, FX comedy It?s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, HBO?s Divorce and Blue Bloods.
He?s also been the source of inspiration for fellow working actors.
His upcoming projects include the film Impossible Monsters and the short film Fizzle. In addition to listing his accomplishments, fans called out the outlets for shaming the actor for having a ?regular job.?
Owens doesn?t have a social platform, but we?re sure the fan love is well appreciated.

Make your money King
I just can?t believe it
Wow
I go to that Trader Joe?s from time-to-time, does King have money stashed away?
fgdhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
King probably works part time for some extra lil side money
That lady is trash as hell for taking that photo and exploiting this man like that
Ain't nothing wrong with this get money, it clearly states he has upcoming gigs so its probably just another way to bring 8n consistent coin.

:guys: where does he work?
and this is prime example as to WHY a lot of stars should make sure they have a good education before getting into acting or get it in the midst of acting. SOMETHING.
Not being on tv and movies then having to work at damn Wal-mart til you die.
i'd kill myself tbh

He worked at a car dealership before he started booking roles again.
Ummmmm Americans are so fucking extra. Like who cares it?s his life. Make her miserable ass feel better about her life.

King is probably just doing it for the insurance benefits.

even if he was only a cashier now. People need to mind their business and I?m sure the lady shopping there and shaming him has a regular job too.

So you think it was fine for this woman to take a photo of this man while working and minding his own business? :uhh:
Let?s not forget them rerun checks have dried up since they pulled all reruns of the show.

!!! She does. Like someone stated earlier in the thread, she did this to make her feel better about herself and her life. That caption was disgusting.

This is true but his royalty check probably wasn't much anyway,tbh. Whenever a show continuously get played in rerun over the years, the lower the cast checks become.
Take notes, Blacktress.
The devil works hard, but god works harder.

:blessed:
So now we shading people for being hard-working ?
A lot of actors who started out in theatre like Geoffrey work side jobs all the time. Even actors who are on Broadway still work other jobs to make extra coin to stash more away. smh That woman needs to be slapped and the fact that she is the wife of the store?s security manager makes it even worse.
Ack!
