Former 'The Cosby Show' star Geoffrey Owens spotted working as cashier at New Jersey Trader Joe's

Owens seems to have fallen on difficult times after his starring role as Elvin Tibideaux on 'The Cosby Show'

Geoffrey Owens, best known for his role as Elvin Tibideaux on 'The Cosby Show,' was recently spotted working as a cashier at a Trader Joe's by a couple of shoppers. The now 57-year-old was snapped working the counter at one of the chain's stores in Clifton, New Jersey, with an ID badge bearing his name confirming the former actor's identity.

Though he looked much older now, 50-year-old Karma Lawrence and her wife, 40-year-old security manager Yanelle, had no trouble deducing who the cashier was. They managed to snap multiple photos of him, that depicts an actor who has possibly fallen on hard times. His hairline had receded quite a bit and he sported a shaggy beard. His Trader Joe's t-shirt was stained and he had also put on quite a bit of weight.
