Has anybody seen the movie "Dracula 2000" with Omar Epps? It's actually not a bad movie, if you like that genre. He is pretty good in it. This is the 1st movie that I've seen him in; other than starring in House.
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Omar Epps. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Fox has renewed its medical drama and put an end to stalled contract negotiations; will the show's eighth season be its last?
Ever since he took the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching job in 2007, Mike Tomlin has been known for two things: Winning football games, and looking like Omar Epps.
After an oddball start, the sixth season of House is moving in a new -- and exciting -- direction.
For those of you fortunate enough to have not worked in the media, entertainment, or business fields, there's a nasty little idea called "branding" that executives get all hot and bothered over. Basically, branding is a way for companies to define themselves (think Sci-Fi's shift to SyFy) -- much like your self-professed "cool uncle" will say he's "down with" this or that.
I was disappointed by how few reviews there are for this actor/character. Omar Epps is a VERY talented actor! You feel every nuance. His character allows him to express an incredible range of emotions and personality traits. This actor really brings depth to his character. It doesn't hurt that he's a very fine looking man, too.
The character, Dr. Foreman, is really terrific. He's the most mature character in the show. You get a tremendous feel for his struggles against his own prejudices. He's not an overly-emotional wet-noodle like Cameron and not an amoral wimp like Chase. This character knows what he believes and knows how to deal with reality. I believe he clearly sees other people's strengths and weaknesses - except where his personal biases are involved. You may think that this is the case with all people. If so, you are mistaken. This character questions everything and everyone. That is the basis for critical thinking. When he fails to question some assumption, you know that the story is hitting one of his personal biases. Chase and Cameron too often react childishly and have blind trust in others - especially House (in Season 1). I would have emphasized the fact that Foreman's article was so different from Cameron's, that she could have still published hers if she weren't such a whiny, childish character. Life is not going to crush a character like Foreman.
Omar Epps is a character you can feel like you know personally. He sticks to his opinion no matter how much House bullies him. In my opinion he should have more of a open relationship with Thirteen. I would think with how he argues his opinion with House where cases are concerned he would fight more for his right to date a co-worker if he so desires. I enjoy the scenes with him struggling to not show his emotions with patients. He is so much like House, but better and more refined. Don't get me wrong if I had a life threatening disorder I would do all I could to get the team of Houses on my case. This show is one of my favs. All the actors are top notch to me and make the show seem to be more reality then just another one hour drama on TV.
O.k, I've been watching House for sometime now and the show has a simple routine: House: I don't want the problem, huh, did you say the problem is in his eyes but his hand stopped working?! And he is bleeding out his ass?! We have to solve that... blah blah blah... cameron: i think the problem is.... blah blah house: you're wrong.... Chase: it seems to be... blah blah... kiss ass here, kiss ass there... but them comes foreman: all mellow, with the attitude that makes you feel well at least i get paid to work here, and puts everything in balance, a normal character to a very disturbed cast....
I like all your movies, seem as if we both have something in common, anyway i admire that you followed your dreams..i wonder what would you be doing if you were not a actor???? Probably being my husband!!!!!!! I seem to always catch your movie Love and Basketball daily but my all time favorite is Juice... I also like First Time Felon, u are the man, i mean acting and directing, goodness. House is also a favorite, it seems like a challenging role...i can see you as a doctor...i mean that tells you how good you are to your fans... u r one of my most admired actors i would love to meet one day...:)
Omar Epps is an ok actor. He is probably best know for playing Doctor Foreman in House and he doesn't do a very good job. He's just average. Any other actor could have done as good as a job as him, or even better. I suppose it's hard to be a doctor on TV and say a lot of medical mumbo jumbo and look respectable, but he could stlil do better. He's acting along side Hugh Laurie and just is a miggette in comparison. Anyways, overall, Omar Epps is a very mediocre actor and I don't think he should receive more roles.
