‘Cosby Show’ star Geoffrey Owens quits grocery store job, speaks out about job-shaming

Cosby Show star Geoffrey Owens recently quit his job at Trader Joe's after a recent photo went viral showing him working at the grocery chain.

Geoffrey, who played Elvin Tibideaux on the popular '90s show, recently spoke with Good Morning America about the importance of work and how people stood up for him online after some tried "job-shaming" him for making an honest living.
