Omar Epps

Omar Hashim Epps, who plays the dark-skinned Dr. Foreman in the medical hit "House", is not only an actor, but also a musician, composer and producer. Epps' star was made by work on the set. Unlike his colleagues on the series about the genius diagnostician and his team, Omar Epps became known in Russia long before the release of "House Doctor".

In the mid-1990s, the cult youth comedy "Don't threaten South Central while drinking your juice in your neighborhood" broke video views in the post-Soviet countries. A multi-part medical drama helped to gain a foothold in the film olympus. Nevertheless, Omar Epps laments that the starring roles have added recognition, but the viewers still find it difficult to remember his name.

Afro-Arab blood flows in the veins of Omar Hashim. Epps was born in the summer of 1973 in the most populous area of ​​New York - Brooklyn. Omar, his two older brothers and his sister were raised by their mother alone. The woman worked as a school director and had a domineering character.

Omar Epps showed his creative talents as a child. The boy became interested in rap and performed in a group that he created with his older brother. 10-year-old Omar Hashim attended music school, wrote poetry and scripts.

The teenager was firm in his intention to connect his future life with music, but the influence of his friend Marlon Wayans, who became a famous comedian, turned out to be decisive. Like Marlon, Omar entered the Fiorello H. LaGuardia School of the Arts in New York, where he learned the basics of acting.

The cinematic biography of Omar Epps started in 1992: the aspiring actor made his debut in Ernest Dickerson's drama "Authority" (also called "Juice"), where the main role was played by the cult Harlem hip-hop singer Tupac Shakur. This is a tragic story of difficult Harlem teenagers. Epps' character is named Q, or Quincy.

Subsequently, Omar Epps had to transform into troubled guys in conflict with the law more than once. In the fantastic action movie Breaking Dawn, the actor was entrusted with a supporting role, and in 1993 Epps played a negative character in the dramatic film The Program, where James Caan became his filming partner.

The next year, the premiere of the sequel to the comedy "Major League" took place. In the sequel to the hit 1989 hit, there were former actors besides Wesley Snipes. He was replaced by Epps. The sequel did not pay off at the box office and did not reach the original source in terms of ratings, but in terms of gaining experience, it gave Omar a lot, because the young actor was lucky to work on the set in the company of Charlie Sheen and Tom Berenger.

After the failure of the sequel, a dark streak began in Epps' film career, which ended in 1996. A dark-skinned Brooklyn resident pulled out a lucky ticket: American director Paris Barclay invited Omar to his comedy project "Don't threaten South Central while drinking your juice in your neighborhood."

Barclay's parody-satirical project has become cult. Working with the Wayans clan brothers made Omar Epps famous. In the same year, the artist was cast in the medical series Ambulance (ER), where he played the restless surgical trainee Dennis Gantt. Epps' character appeared in several episodes, but the audience remembered it. TV viewers fell in love with an action-packed project about the everyday life of the admissions department of a Chicago clinic, and the producers filmed 15 seasons. Omar Epps starred in seasons 3 and 4 of ER.
