Geoffrey Owens, known for his role on "The Cosby Show," continues to struggle financially six years after viral photos showed him working at Trader Joe's. He stated that many people misunderstand the earnings of middle-class actors. Owens, 63, left his job at Trader Joe's due to privacy concerns after the photos circulated. He has since taken on acting roles, including in "Poppa’s House," but still finds it challenging to make ends meet. Despite receiving offers of financial help, including a $25,000 donation from Nicki Minaj, Owens donated the money to charity. He has returned to Trader Joe's, as acting alone does not provide enough income for a comfortable living.
