Geoffrey Owens Politely Turns Down Tyler Perry


This week movie mogul Tyler Perry Tweeted a job offer to Cosby Show actor Geoffrey Owens after Geoffrey was job shamed when pictures of him working at Trader Joe's between acting gigs went viral [click here if you missed that].

Geoffrey politely declines the offer...

Geoffrey, who is not on Twitter and had to be told about the offer, tells ET,
“I don’t expect to be offered things. It would be lovely as one of the results of this, some doors open in terms of giving me the opportunity to audition. That, I would appreciate — always, as all actors do. I don’t necessarily feel comfortable being given things as a result of this."
“I like the idea of, you know, put me in the room with everyone else and see if I’m the right one for the job.”
