Dr. Eric Foreman is House’s colleague in House M.D.
Omar Epps portrays Foreman, a neurologist who joins House’s original diagnostic team. Foreman is intelligent, ambitious, and often more willing than his colleagues to challenge House’s methods directly.
The character’s surname is spelled Foreman, with “Fore” at the beginning. Because the name sounds like the ordinary English word “foreman,” viewers and quiz writers sometimes misspell it as Forman or confuse it with another surname.
Foreman’s role expands considerably over the series. He eventually becomes a leader within the hospital, but his early identity is tied to the diagnostic team and his specialty in neurology.
