Cosby Show Star who played Alvin now works as cashier at Trader Joe's

[Hardest Since MC Ren]

His agent sucks or dude didn't make moves

“He looked bloated and unhappy,” noted shopper Karma Lawrence, 50, a medical secretary.

TJ was my first job after getting out of high school. It's actually a great place to work. They treat their employees very well, the environment is chill af, and management gets paid handsomely. The floor "Captains" were clearing six figures iirc. He may even be one, as sometimes they'd help bag or work the registers when i worked there.

shyt fukking article btw.

Exactly. I’ve seen district and regional managers cleaning floors or bagging groceries if it was busy.

Yeah, like how do you even feel good about yourself when submitting the article?

You don’t. That’s the type of folk who shyt on others about petty things like what car they drive or where they work. Try to feel good about working in a dying medium like freelance print journalism by shytting on Grocers making more than you

So yall clowning and shaming a black man for actually working and making an honest living for himself... society is so backwards...

Exactly this. So what he's working at a store? Much respect to him.

man don't work, man don't eat

The only thing that's shocking is that he wasn't plugged into some soft political job. His late father,Major Owens ,was a Congressman

and I thought with his pop's connections that he'd be working an equally boring govt. job somewhere.

Think Brooklyn was part of his congressional district.

Gotta do what u gotta do but it’s not like breh been out there working since the Cosby Show. Living with ma duke as a 57 year old . At some point you gotta let that starving actor shyt go and get a real
Job. His wife on that show was underrated tho

Claire > All of them

I also had this shyt cause the media (especially internet media and folks on social media) get hard ons when black actors or black athletes fall on hard times.

These mothafukkas always circle jerk each other whenever a black entertainer is perceived to have money issues, lost material items or work low paying jobs.

And goofy nikkas will jump on the bandwagon and clown, but let Taylor Swift fall off and watch them show sympathy and offer support.

thats the life of an actor....i mean cole from martin works at a car dealership

He actually does comedy and stage plays

CARL PAYNE from "Martin"

I don’t disagree Id still take Claire ass down thru there to this day The oldest sister was bad tho

 

[NormanConnors]

tons of older actors and actresses are working normal 9 to 5s

I'm friends with a few...this is not news I really don't see the big deal

Article seems meanspirited

Comedians too

Shows you the popularity of the Cosby Show and how deeply engrained it was in people's lives.

Show went off the air over 25 years ago, Alvin was a minor character, and he has a full white beard now.

If I saw him out somewhere, it might take the next time watching an episode of the show to remember that it was him...but the fan knew right away.
I'm actually good at placing celeb faces in real life, but I wouldn't have caught it.
