Geoffrey Owens became well-known for his role as Elvin Tibideaux on the popular comedy “The Cosby Show.”
However, he is still having difficulty earning a livelihood as a middle-class actor six years after becoming viral for his work at Trader Joe’s.
Owens recently said, “I struggle every day to make my ends meet,” in an interview with V-103, a radio station in Atlanta.
Images of Owens working at a Trader Joe’s in New Jersey went viral in August 2018, igniting discussions on the struggles of the typical working actor.
Although he was aware of certain job-shaming remarks made by others, Owens said that he mostly got encouragement and support.
The actor said that he received a lot of attention and notice in his daily life for almost two weeks after his viral video.
