Tyler Perry offers a former Cosby star Geoffrey Owens a spot on his show after he was shamed for working in a store.

Owen’s shame is about to turn to fame again as stars have rallied around him to declare support for him and movie director Tyler Perry has now offered him a spot in his next TV show.

Geoffrey, who starred as Elvin in the Cosby show, was seen working the register and bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, Clifton, New Jersey, where he gets paid around $11 per hour. The customer who he attended to took his photo, shared online and he was job-shamed.

Writer and director, Tyler Perry has now promised Geoffrey a job in Opray Winfrey Network’s number 1 drama which will start filming next week. Announcing the news via Twitter, Perry wrote:
