Omar Epps on House
Sent to us by David Lomazoff
Below is only a small part of the interview:
- TV Guide: Of the entire medical staff, Foreman is the most like House — a little arrogant, but principled.
Epps: It's a paradox in that sense. Foreman's the guy who speaks out against House and his ways, but he's also the guy who's most like him in terms of being unapologetic for his actions and how he deals with people. But I'd definitely say Foreman is more cordial than House.
TV Guide: Do you ever find yourself flinching at some of House's racist wisecracks?
Epps: I actually have fun, because the intent is to be so over-the-top. Foreman is, in my mind, used to being the "only black guy" in this crowd, so the way that he interprets it is that the coach is harder on his best player. Sooner or later, House isn't gonna be his boss, so he has to be able to take all this stuff to handle that situation when it happens.
