No shame in working for a living. How many actors and NFL players are dead broke?

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?

Truth: Although I mostly disliked TCS, I VERY much disliked this doofus and his character. My whole family agreed he was hugely unlikeable.

Played a total cuck.

He was a minor player in that show. I bet those royalty checks weren't even 50K a year.

They could have done the guy a favor and at least tried to get a better picture.  He looks like a confused slob in that picture. 

If I was Elvin, I'd be pissed off.  Let me suck in my gut a little and smile for the picture...........especi ally since you plan to post it all over the internet.

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.


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

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.  ::)

I don't know how the business works so why does the issue with Bill Cosby effect a show that no longer airs and the people on it who had nothing to do with Cosby's personal life.

Use the deposit feature on your mobile phone.  Quick and easy.



AS to this guy, the first few years his wife didn't exist.  They wrote her in the show and I remember watching one of the earlier episodes where they referenced having only 3 kids, then a season later this chick shows up with Trader Joe.

Never saw the show, I always disliked Cosby's comedy when I saw him on HBO, plus I'm not "The Ghey".
But, good for the guy whoever he is, he's working...

Most getbiggers are degenerates.  That could have been easily photoshopped.

At least he didn't drug and rape women, and then preach about how black people aren't doing their part.

What a two faced disgrace POS.

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
