Geoffrey Owens

You may remember Geoffrey Owens from his role as Elvin Tibideaux on The Cosby Show. He went through quite an ordeal when the Daily Mail posted an article about him and his job as a crew member at Trader Joe’s. Geoffrey needed a way to keep paying his bills when no acting roles were available. He didn’t leave Hollywood like others in the business….

Geoffrey Owens is still auditioning for roles and doing some acting but needed an honest day’s work to stay afloat. The article written by the Daily Mail caused an overwhelming response from the public while using the Twitter hashtag #ActorsWithDayJobs. Not all celebrities can have ongoing projects, and it’s perfectly natural to find work elsewhere. Stars are people, just like everyone else.
