Geoffrey Owens
Geoffrey Owens made a name for himself by starring as Elvin Tibideaux in The Cosby Show. Many of the actors were making plenty of money from the show’s reruns, but after networks pulled the show after Bill Cosby was thrown in jail, Geoffrey, among others, is in financial shambles.
Geoffrey wound up being unable to pay back his loans, and the job offers had stopped coming in long before the Cosby incident. In fact, things got so bad for Geoffrey that actors like Tyler Perry actually gave him opportunities to audition for movies and shows. He’s worth about $300,000 at the moment, but it appears that he’s going to make more appearances in upcoming movies.
