Geoffrey Owens Reportedly Accepts Tyler Perry's TV Offer After Trader Joe's Job-Shaming
Geoffrey Owens just landed his next small screen role.
After being job-shamed when photos surfaced of him bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, the 57-year-old Cosby Show alum was flooded with support from celebrities and fans alike. Most notably, producer/filmmaker Tyler Perry offered the actor a job on one of his shows — and according to TMZ, Owens has accepted the gig.
The outlet reports that Owens was cast in a recurring, 10-episode role on Perry’s hit OWN drama, The Haves and the Have Nots. The show, currently in its sixth season, shoots in Atlanta, and Owens will reportedly fly there next week to begin filming.
The news comes just days after Perry first reached out to Owens via Twitter, writing: “#GeoffreyOwens I’m about to start shootings OWN’s number one drama next week! Come join us!!! I have so much respect for people who hustle between gigs. The measure of a true artist.”
