He got them from 1992-2014, on top of whatever he earned in salary off the show. How many more decades do you expect him to milk that stupid fucking sitcom?

The guy actually went to Yale and graduated with honors, and worked as an acting teacher for a few prestigious colleges for a bit, so perhaps they just caught him in a bad moment. His resume shows he's a bit of a rolling stone artsy type.

He was only in about 44 episodes and he was a minor character.   You also have to consider that the show was in the 80's so there wasn't that much money flowing around and there was only one person making the big bucks....Bill Cosby.   He had other acting jobs and he would have been fine with residuals if everything didn't happen like it did.   Now with his residual basically trashed and living in New York, he did what he had to do and took up an 11 dollar an hour job at Trader Joes


Honestly, I respect a person who rolls up his sleeves and goes to work rather than fuck family and friends over for money.   I think they need to leave him alone as he's getting the backlash and consequences for things he had nothing to do with

lol....more like 800 bucks a month at most.   Surprisingly enough...me, Bob Chick, and Dave Palumbo get residuals....so does True Adonis.    The only problem is that the amounts are like 10-15 cents a year.   Bob Chick might get about 25 cents more.   


Whenever I get mine, I usually just toss it out or something.   Cost more to drive to the bank to cash it....lol

is he an employee or a customer?  i can't see the badge on his shirt.  with a yale degree in ny, he could get upper five figures just opening doors and serving coffee at an investment firm.   i don't care if it's a basket weaving degree.  as far as the Cosby Show, i only tuned in for the louisiana native.  :-*

Are you blind? That would explain a lot of your posts, if so. The badge is right there on his fucking shirt with his name on it, Ray Charles.

So what if he was only in 44 episodes? He got a direct deposit proportional to his investment in the show. He clearly shouldn't have gotten anything like what Malcolm Jamal Warner or Bill were paid if he wasn't a more important aspect of the program, whose quality took a nosedive about 4 seasons in and was on for way too long. Literally anyone could've played a lightskin with a jherri curl who married the oldest daughter, he knows how lucky he was to get what turned out to be his only noteworthy part in acting. The fact that he got paid for 22 years after the show went off the air is another example of how actors don't really work like the rest of us do. Know many people that get paid to get up in the morning for something they did 20 years ago, besides retired law enforcement and firefighters? Should we set up a gofundmepage for him because he couldn't milk 30 years out of it due to the lead actor being a sick, demented rapist, too?

Honestly, I respect a person who rolls up his sleeves and goes to work rather than fuck family and friends over for money.   I think they need to leave him alone as he's getting the backlash and consequences for things he had nothing to do with
Yeah, a guy who got a regular job like the rest of us, really impressive stuff. Next you'll tell us he puts on his own socks, too.  ::)

Because residuals are based on reruns and if there is a reduction of that, then there is less money to collect.  That's why Jerry Seinfield is almost a billionaire

You don't get away with all those things without people noticing or knowing about it. The people who kept it under wraps are as guilty as he is, and those women who waited 20, 30, 40 years are a bunch of clowns, as is the idiot who took his money then agreed to prosecute him anyway under the heel of that piece of shit Gloria Alred and her scumbag daughter Lisa Bloom.

If someone harasses you, you report them. Even if there's no case built around it, at least there's a paper trail for future prosecution if more people come forward. Everyone involved in Cosby's shenanigans - his handlers, his fixers, his co-stars who knew, Playboy Hugh H., the women accusing him decades later without even having reported it, etc. - are all fucking scumbags. There's no heroes in this saga.

The show sucked ass after about 1988. Same tired jokes and more cast members but celebrity cameos doesn't = more funny.

The Cosby Show had been dropped from every network, even Nick@Night (that nobody watches), by the time he was charged with sexual assault. There may have been one obscure channel that still ran it but it was long dead because it was 30 years old. Seinfeld went off the air in 1998 but it was hugely popular and still gets decent viewership in syndication. Apples and oranges. Do a Google search for Cosby and royalties and you'll see that there's articles discussing how his case had virtually NO impact on his income from the program by that time. You're stuck in a time warp with your head up your ass, as usual.

So they pulled the reruns because Cosby gave drugs and alcohol to women at parties so he can get laid.

What do you get residuals from?

Of course, some jobs are better than others. I hate those phony platitudes. That's why people will quit their current job to get another one. But there is dignity to all jobs. I never watched the Cosby Show and never knew who this guy was but good for him. Seems like a decent, hardworking guy who is very articulate.

Yeah, he's getting job offers from Tyler Perry and free cash gifts from popular female rappers. It sure did work out for him. Wonder if the other people at his store making $11 got similar offers or if they have to continue working there next week.
