Geoffrey Owens — Grocery Store Employee


The Cosby Show during the ’80s was one of the biggest shows on TV. The whole cast racked up serious firepower, and one of them is Geoffrey Owens, who played the role of Elvin Tibideaux. His talent suggests that he really belongs in acting, and it paved the way for him to become the founder and artistic director of The Brooklyn Shakespeare Company.

He also spent time helping people get a degree in performing arts at Columbia University, Yale, the Adult School of Montclair, and Pace University. However, recent news broke out that a couple of lads saw him on the counter of a local grocery shop in New Jersey. Whatever the case may be — whether he’s doing fine for himself or is struggling with money — what’s certain is that his role in The Cosby Show will always be remembered.
