What a POS the person is that put it on the internet. Leave the guy alone, I respect that he's working.

Working for a living is nothing to be embarrassed about.

I met him on the PATH train once. He started talking to me like he wanted to get to know me. I realized he just wanted to talk to me about God. This was in the late 80s.

This is a story why? Im supposed to feel bad/embarrassed/chastise the guy because hes working and putting food on the table?

Agreed, this is super sh1tty.... They think this guy made enough off that show to never work again?

[Hardcore troubadour 12,631]

If he was getting residuals , that's dried up a few years ago when Cosbys raping and drugging came to light. No one airs the show anymore.

Since graduating laude from Yale University in 1983, Owens has worked as an actor, director and teacher in theatre, television and film. And at Trader Joes....

Do people think he was paid similar to what Cosby was? Of course he needs a job. A guy was on a tv show decades ago and hes supposed to be well off still? TJ is a good place to work.

He also went to Yale, so there is something going on. Nevertheless, the man was doing honest work and shouid be let be.

Couldn't stand the guys acting. Him and Lisa Bonet were just painful to watch and listen to.

[nospk 230]

Looks like he gets paid in groceries

[kutulu 1,545]

What a pear shaped loser!

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

He is doing more than Virgil the wrestler.

[Cdub100 3,380]

This is stupid

[kutulu 1,545]

It's a different world now

Yep, that's pretty shitty of Fox News to do that. Most of us can relate to what he's going thru (falling on hard times). He's making an honest living and he may have some other issues going on that a simple picture can't capture.

 

Poor guy. Maybe he now gets the internet to help him out. I'd contribute.

[Voltaire 4,558]

Good job Geek Club

 

There's dignity in work. When I look at him, it's not that that 'could be' me, that WAS me when I hit bottom. Like HT pointed out, what he earned in residual dried up with Bill Cosby's misconduct and the man has to get on with life somehow. A lot of people choose to throw in the towel. Not him. He's not leeching off the taxpayers, he remains a taxpayer.

[fandandy 3,311]

I'd contribute.

Why? Dude graduated top of his class at focking Yale, prolly earned a few million acting. If there's not more to this story that maybe he owns the Trader Joes but is actually just working there due to some damn poor financial decisions he can suck it. I wouldn't give him ######.

[bandrus1 413]

Few millions as the probably 7th star on an 80's sitcom?

 

Come on now

He doesn't want your money. You can suck it.

Every day when he leaves, they should announce "Elvin has left the building".

And when all these dogooder nitwits in here drop some coins in his cup he'll say, Thank you. Thank you very much...

Didnt he work in a grocery store in the show?

Good for her and for him. We could use more stories like this in the news.

[shotsup 832]

While the job shaming was disgusting it all worked out for him landing acting gigs.

[wiffleball 4,639]

Cool move on his part. But by Christmas he'll be wanting that 25 Grand back I'm pretty sure.

Coke n hookers for me

 

Not polite to give away someones blessing.
