In House M.D., which doctor is played by Omar Epps?

In House M.D., Omar Epps plays Dr. Eric Foreman.

Foreman is a neurologist who joins Gregory House’s original diagnostic fellowship team at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. He is intelligent, competitive, and often more cautious than House, although he shares House’s willingness to challenge standard assumptions when a patient’s diagnosis is unclear.

Foreman’s career develops substantially across the series. He becomes a department leader, works outside House’s immediate team, and eventually serves as Dean of Medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro. His professional rise reflects both his medical ability and his effort to establish an identity separate from House’s influence.

Omar Epps portrayed Foreman throughout the series. The character is sometimes confused with Lawrence Kutner, another doctor who later joins House’s team, but Kutner was played by Kal Penn. Foreman’s specialty is also distinct from Wilson’s oncology and Chase’s intensive-care background: Foreman is specifically a neurologist.
