As great as The Cosby Show was, no one on the main cast really blew up though most of them had other projects.

Seems like the young guest stars got more mileage. I'm pretty sure Adam Sandler even had a guest spot.

It's interesting how the mainstream media is framing this as a FOX News hit piece when it originated on a black gossip blog, before the Daily Mail picked it up. Geoffrey Owens will get some more guest appearances out of this I reckon. And now that I think about it, I believe I have seen actors [who I recognize from older projects] in my neighborhood working at Trader Joes here in LA. Could just be a good company to work for.

Of course this article was written to make him look like a loser smh. That’s ok though because the exposure actually may end up helping him get a whole bunch of acting roles in the future (if he still has a passion for it)

Why is this a big deal, most people don’t do one show and coast off of it for the rest of their lives unless it’s something massive like Friends. He got a job that probably allows flexible hours or shift swapping with benefits so he can still do his craft while not having to turn into one of those actors you hear about that winds up on the street.
