It was the Butler...in the Hershey Store...with his Ego!

Joseph Marcell needs your help.

Who is Joseph Marcell? Why, he was the Fresh Prince's butler "Geoffrey", of course! He came into the Hershey Store on Sunday night with two of his friends, practically begging for a free sample! I was in the back at first and wasn't aware we had such a celebrity in the store, but when we turned down his request, Geoffrey's buddy began to lay on the guilt.

"Not even for a TV star?" We weren't sure who he was talking about (by this point, I was out front, but Geoffrey had moved to another part of the store). "Don't you recognize anyone in this store from TV?"

My co-worker then began to wonder, "Doesn't that guy look like the butler from 'Fresh Prince'?"

All I could see was the back of his head. Then I noticed another associate of mine with a look of recognition on his face. Clearly, this was the man!

Geoffrey turned around and came back to his friend at the Bake Shoppe, pleading to leave. "I didn't come in here for a public appearance," he said in his thick Carribean British accent. At this point, my co-worker offered a disheveled looking Geoffrey and his friends a truffle sample (not your standard free sample, we are to use discretion when doling them out). Geoffrey pointedly thanked my co-worker without making eye contact with anyone else, took his truffle, and left. And at one point he argued with his friend as to whether the truffle was more like a Symphony or a Toblerone. If you've never heared a bitter British man say 'Toblerone', you truly haven't lived.

Please, friends, I implore you: Help Geoffrey! The man is begging for free samples. According to IMDB.com, he has been working since "Bel-Air" but use your judgment...have you seen him? Find out how you can reach Joseph Marcell and help this fine gentleman receive the star treatment he deserves. Send candy, coupons, letters of appreciation. Make Geoffrey the Butler feel loved!
