GEOFFREY OWENS – 59 YEARS OLD

Although Geoffrey Owens is known as the son of the former United States Congressman Major Owens, he is best known for his role as Elvin Tibideaux on The Cosby Show. Decades have passed, photos of Owen working in Trader Joe’s emerged, and some said it was “job shaming,” to which he agreed. What everyone does not know is that Geoffrey Owens is also very successful academically. He only read one year in high school, and then entered Yale University with honors and graduated in 1983.

The degree of attention the snaps received affected his work. Hence, the producer Tyler Perry offered Owens a role in The Haves and the Have Nots, which began his return on television. He also had a guest-starring role on NCIS: New Orleans at the time and a role in the movies Fatale and Hide and Seek.
