A former actor on “The Cosby Show†has reportedly accepted an offer to appear on producer Tyler Perry’s television show after he said he had been shamed online for a job bagging groceries.
Geoffrey Owens accepted Perry’s offer to appear on the show “The Haves and Have Nots†in a recurring role for 10 episodes, TMZ reported on Friday.
Owens will reportedly fly down to Atlanta to begin filming next week, the outlet noted.
The deal comes shortly after The Daily Mail originally shared photographs of Owens working as a cashier at a New Jersey Trader Joe's. Fox News later picked up the story.
