peenie 1,691 Posted September 1, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 928 Posted September 1, 2018 This is a story why? Im supposed to feel bad/embarrassed/chastise the guy because hes working and putting food on the table? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandrus1 413 Posted September 1, 2018 What a POS the person is that put it on the internet. Leave the guy alone, I respect that he's working. Agreed, this is super sh1tty.... They think this guy made enough off that show to never work again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,714 Posted September 1, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 1, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EternalShinyAndChrome 2,545 Posted September 1, 2018 What a POS the person is that put it on the internet. Leave the guy alone, I respect that he's working. 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,567 Posted September 2, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandandy 3,311 Posted September 2, 2018 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 ######.
