Geoffrey Owens is developing the post Trader Joe's resume.

L & # 39; former Cosby Show costar, who was recently criticized online for working in a grocery store, just won another gig, this time NCIS: New Orleans. He will play Commander Adams, an esteemed old friend of Pride (Scott Bakula), for both medical and spiritual advice.

Owens will appear in the sixth episode of season 5, towards the end of October.

"For Commander Adams, we needed someone with compassion, skill and heart. It's Geoffrey in a nutshell, "said executive producer Christopher Silber. "An accomplished actor who seemed to be the ideal solution to complete our extensive repertoire. We are lucky to have it in the series.

Earlier this week, Owens accepted Tyler Perry's offer to feature on the OWN series The Haves and the Not Nots. He will participate in 10 episodes of the sixth season of the series, which is about to start shooting in Atlanta.

Last week, the Daily mail and Fox News posted photos of Owens' grocery store, prompting many fans and celebrities to come and defend the actor. Owens worked at Trader Joe's for 15 months, but said he should give up his recent attention.

He is best known for playing Elvin Tibideaux on The Cosby Showfrom 1985 to 1992. He has since participated in several shows, including Divorced, It's always sunny in Philadelphia, The secret life of an American teenager, and Built to last.
