In House M.D., which actor plays neurologist Eric Foreman?

Omar Epps plays neurologist Eric Foreman in House M.D.

Foreman is one of House's original diagnostic fellows and is introduced as an ambitious neurologist with a background that includes juvenile delinquency. His intelligence and clinical ability make him valuable to House, but his desire for professional independence often puts him in conflict with House's methods.

Foreman eventually takes on leadership and administrative responsibilities at Princeton-Plainsboro. His career path makes him one of the series' most important examples of a team member becoming a senior physician rather than remaining permanently under House's authority.

The original diagnostic team also includes Allison Cameron, played by Jennifer Morrison, and Robert Chase, played by Jesse Spencer. Those casting details are common sources of confusion because the three doctors work together from the beginning. Foreman, however, is specifically the neurologist portrayed by Omar Epps.
