In House M.D., Omar Epps plays Eric Foreman, who later becomes Dean of Medicine.
Foreman is a neurologist and one of the original members of House’s diagnostic team. He is intelligent, ambitious, and often more cautious than House, although he gradually adopts some of House’s willingness to challenge authority. His background and ethical judgments create recurring contrasts with House’s methods.
Foreman eventually takes on major leadership responsibilities at Princeton-Plainsboro. After Lisa Cuddy leaves the hospital, Foreman becomes Dean of Medicine. The promotion marks a significant change from his early role as a junior doctor and reflects his growing administrative and clinical authority.
Omar Epps portrayed Foreman throughout the series. The character should not be confused with Chase or Cameron, who also belong to House’s original team. Foreman’s defining specialty is neurology, while his later institutional role is dean of medicine.
