Carl Payne Reveals Last Talk With Cosby Didn't Go Well, Talks 'The Cosby Show' Role

@Phil Ad Let's be honest about the equivalence with the Seinfeld supporting cast . . . George, Elaine and Kramer would be Phylicia Rashad, Lisa Bonet or Malcolm-Jamal Warner . . . it wouldn't be Carl Payne in his role as Cockroach.

Met him in NY many years ago...very approachable nice dude. Much respect especially after TMZ tried to clown him for selling cars to feed his family. This guy is straight real.

[@sabrinathompson2964]

Me too I met him person in a long island city Queens mc Donald's on June 11th 2011. I was staring when he walked in just trying wrap my head around if it was really him and he was in there with his aunt and kid n she notice I was looking n she said yes it is do you wanna meet him? I said yeah he said come over here what's your name he is really a cool dude he was so nice. He was talking to me for a while and I was so mad cuz at that time I didnt have my phone nor camera so he gave me his email address. I was calm when I was around him it's when I left I was freaking out lol I was like omg I cant believe I met Carl Payne.. Its crazy cuz that friday I told my mom I want mc Donald's n then I had change my mind n then she said no your getting mc Donald's let's go..

I respect that even though he and Cosby had a falling out, he still spoke out on his behalf. That takes a real man. I remember reading or hearing back in the day that the reason he lost the gig on the Cosby show is because he wouldn't cut his hair. Then I see episodes where Theo rocked a fro about the same length as cockroach and Vanessa did everything she wanted to with her hair. Denise as well. I just wonder why they zoomed in on him over hair and the rest of the cast could rock theirs however they chose? Anyway, always had a crush on Cockroach. He was pretty fly, even though I was like 4.

Well Cockroache's hair was looking kinda crazy toward the end of his role on the show. He started wearing hats more often and when he didn't it was like a fro with grease in it... can't really describe it. Now Theo did grow a shag around that time and more so after Cockroach was gone. Guess Mr Cosby wanted the guys looking a certain way. So glad he allowed Vanessa to wear her natural hair because now that I think about it she was the 1st teen proudly representing 4C hair on TV that I've ever seen.

The interviewer’s style of interviewing is so mature. He sounds young but his flow is so experienced and professional. I see this young man doing great things, I’ll continue to follow comedy hype.

My friend was working at a gas station in the hood a few years ago.She couldn't believe it.She saw Cole.He came to get gas.She said he was so nice and down to earth.He even took a picture with her and he was smiling.He said he was here for a play downtown. I keep hearing from different people who met him how cool he is.Thats why I'll always love Cole.

Coach roach is one of the most memorable characters for me. I loved that time when coach roach stood in his math class. Mrs. Westlakes math class. And at the end of the show she asked him why and he said “it wasn’t your class, it just wasn’t your class.” Iconic scene imo.

[@Carolina_girl86]

Then she said "Bye Walter, I mean Cockroach". That was her 1st time ever calling him Cockroach cuz she was so stern w/ her students and would call them by their real names I guess. I always thought that scene was so sweet when he was in the hospital room to see her after she had her baby, the way she said bye to him at the end and she was probably happy she wouldn't have to see any of them for the next 6 weeks or however long while she was on maternity leave, lol, so she relaxed her standards and called him Cockroach.

He's a fine actor and his role on Cosby show was memorable. Glad he stuck with it and got the part. Liked him more in that role than bumbling Cole on "Martin". More importantly, he comes across as a down to earth guy. I think the name “cockroach” for a nickname was VERY stupid! They could’ve called him so many other different names besides that. Surprised Cosby went for such a dumb nickname for his son’s friend.

[@christian_person5058]

latymz he also was late to the set a lot, and you know Mr Cosby wasn’t having that! He had high expectations for his actors! Of course the last discussion wasn’t that good, but Carl needs to own up to his behavior also! There are 2 sides to every story! That woman who settled with Cosby for 3 million dollars shouldn’t have been able to come back with criminal charges! Harvey Weinstein is paying off all of his accusers and will probably never go to prison, because he is white! People wake up about this so called justice system!

[@thespadestable]

​@@christian_person5058 - This situation has nothing to do with that woman nor Cosby being not being White; it has more to do with Cosby and Gloria Allred. Allred tried to shake Cosby down and he refused her demands. The more women she brought forth as a way to play her hand, Cosby kept refusing. Don't forget Allred first came out and said the women coming out was not about money, then turned around and said Cosby needed to set up a $100m fund for the victims. Also, all of the original accusers were being represented by Allred and most of the victims lived in California. Allred law practice is established in California. Also if you remember, Hannibal Buress told that "Bill Cosby Raping Women" joke while on stage in Philadelphia. Out of all his material, and out of all of his stand up performances, that one joke went viral. It was all a plan by Allred, which included the assistance of Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele to shake down Cosby. With DA Steele his ego and reputation was on the line when Cosby first trial first ended in a hung jury, so he had to come out swinging hard to get a conviction which is why he used the Andrea Constand $3.38m settlement to his advantage. Lastly, why did the 2 Black jurors (one man and one woman) cast a guilty against Cosby? For Blacks to love and make claims of racial injustice in the court system, their 2 no votes would have acquitted Cosby, but I guess since they were outnumbered, they had to appease the White jurors, but had it been reverse I doubt they would have caved to the pressure of being around an mostly Black jury to put in prison a famous White actor in prison? So please, save the "White People" nonsense, because it's Blacks who put Cosby in prison, not White people!

[@homerelesperance2857]

I applause Carl Payne because he struggle just like any average person who is trying to make end meets. He doesn't get into drugs, doesn't commit a crime and he doesn't let Hollywood change him. He's a humble guy who keeps his nose or business away from problems and just go his merry way of life. Behind all the glitz, glamour, wealth and fame of Hollywood or the tv, films industry, not everybody who audition and makes it and if they do, they should never expect the people they work around with are all angels because that's where you will found the most people with the dirtiest laundry or secrets in their closets. Generally, in the world of business, never take in the people that you work for, with, to or alongside as family because everybody in business is there for one major reason and it's to make money above all else!
