Trader Joe's, the grocery chain with packaged goods from around the world, seems to be the perfect place to revive an acting career. It's in a New York Trader Joe's that Geoffrey Owens has been rediscovered, and now the former actor "Cosby Show" has landed a bargain with none other than Tyler Perry.

Of course, it was not a comeback. Owens, who has acted several times since the end of the "Cosby Show," was photographed working on a cash register at the store, and the Daily Mail and Fox News published articles and stories last week.

The customer who broke Owens' photo said, "It really hurt me. I was like: "Wow, all those years spent doing the show and you ended up as a cashier."

Not cool. And many of them were quick to come to Owens' defense and avoid "shame".

"Suppress that, man trying to put food on the table and trying to humiliate him?

Delete that. The man tries to put food on the table and you try to humiliate him? https://t.co/Uo6ierGEeC

Terry Crews, the star of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," responded to Ali by sharing his own experience between the end of his NFL career and the beginning of his acting career.

"I swept the floors after the @NFL. If necessary, I would do it again. Good honest work is second to none, "he said.

Nicki Minaj was ready to put her money where she is, offering to give Owens $ 25,000.

"Some people are on the Internet and are looking for attention, and that's just the antithesis," the rapper told Entertainment Tonight. "Then I thought, 'Oh my God, can you imagine? We all did this kind of work, and I thought, "What if it's me? Or a family member, and they were busy with their own business, working to feed their family, and someone tried to humiliate them?

Minaj's help may not be needed. Owens, 57, accepted a job offer from Perry and will appear in 10 episodes of "The Have and Have Nots." Perry serves as creator-writer-director of the OWN series.

"#GeoffreyOwens I'm about to start shooting OWN's number one next week!" Perry tweeted to Owens earlier this week. "Come join us !!! I have so much respect for people jostling each other between concerts – the measure of a true artist."

Perfect timing since Owens resigned from Trader Joe's. He worked in his Clifton, New Jersey store for 15 months, but said news of his job in that country was out of control.

Owens appeared on "Good Morning America" ​​earlier this week, the label of his trader Joe priding himself on being displayed on his jacket.

"This case of" Cosby ", who was ashamed to work at Trader Joe's, will pass," Owens told Robin Roberts. "In a while, it will disappear. I hope that what does not happen is the idea that people are … rethinking what it means to work – the honor of the worker and the dignity of work.
