Full Biography (Back to top)

With his athletic build, heavy-lidded expressive eyes and attractive good looks, Omar Epps frequently was cast as sports heroes and troubled teenagers early in his career, but as he amassed more credits and demonstrated his range, he moved on to more substantial dramatic fare. The young actor made a promising film debut as star of "Juice" (1992), cinematographer Ernest Dickerson's directorial debut, a violent and tragic take on four young men growing up in Harlem. Co-starring the late rapper Tupac Shakur, "Juice" showcased Epps' developed emotional range with his nuanced performance that maintained the appropriate restraint. He followed as a running back in the college football drama "The Program" (1993). Remembered more for the copycat incidents of young men imitating a scene in the film in which players lie in traffic to prove their toughness, the film featured a sympathetic but often overlooked performance by Epps. The following year, he switched to baseball as co-star of "Major League II", taking over the role of Willie Mays Hayes from originator Wesley Snipes. His next athletic endeavor was playing a runner in John Singleton's "Higher Learning" (1995), an unflinching look at the brutal politics of college life. Epps' character, a track star on a sports scholarship, quickly finds that his academic performance matters little to an administration that sees him merely as an athletic advantage.

After some notable television work, Epps returned to the big screen in 1997 with a brief turn as a giddy moviegoer who ends up an early victim of a psycho slasher in the blockbuster sequel "Scream 2". 1999 saw him take on legend-of-cool Linc in "The Mod Squad", the odd feature adaptation of the dated TV series most memorable for placing Epps in attractive but uncomfortable and decidedly unfashionable tight pants, a subject frequently raised by the actor in interviews promoting the film. While "The Mod Squad" proved a critical and box office bust, Epps later 1999 effort "The Wood" promised to put the actor back on the map, offering him a serious and multi-dimensional role quite un
