The first name of neurologist Dr. Foreman in House M.D. is Eric.
Dr. Eric Foreman is played by Omar Epps and is one of House’s original diagnostic fellows. He begins the series as a neurologist recruited to House’s team and often objects to House’s methods, even while learning from his unusually effective diagnostic reasoning.
Foreman’s character develops from junior physician to senior hospital leader. His career includes work as a neurologist, periods of tension with House, and later administrative responsibility at Princeton-Plainsboro. His ambition and concern for professional standards frequently put him in direct conflict with House’s willingness to break rules.
The answer is the character’s first name, not the actor’s. Omar Epps portrays Eric Foreman throughout the series. “Foreman” is also sometimes mistaken for a title because it resembles an occupational surname, but it is simply the doctor’s family name.
