But two minutes into the interview, he's sitting up and facing you, enthusiastically punctuating his points with his hands. At 26, the graduate of New York's High School of Performing Arts already has an impressive 10-year career, including his debut in Ernest Dickerson's Juice to John Singleton's Higher Learning , Charles S. Dutton's HBO film, First Time Felon , and The Wood (not to mention his memorable turns in ER and Scream 2 ). Today he's talking about , writer-director Gina Prince-Blythewood's first feature, produced by Spike Lee and Sam Kitt. The film follows the intersecting romance and careers of two young Los Angeles-based basketball players, Q, played by Epps, and Monica, played by his offscreen girlfriend, Sanaa Lathan ( Blade The Best Man Cynthia Fuchs: How do you think is different from what its viewers might have seen before?

Sidewalks outside dorms always look so lonely at times like this. focuses on Monica's life decisions, on the court and in her own emotional life. After college, Monica spends a few years in Europe, playing for Parma's championship women's team, but even when they win, the women don't get the adulation and perks that are common for the most lowly NBA teams. While the protagonists are clearly shaped by their home lives, the film spends relatively little time in their homes. Instead, it shows them on the court and in relation to each other, as rivals, friends, U.S.C. teammates, and lovers, quarreling and not. Most often taking Monica's point of view (strikingly during a couple of game scenes, the camera takes her on-court perspective while you hear her voice-over, breathing heavily and telling herself, "Watch the ball" and "Play smart"), the film is also fair to Q. In granting both characters fully developed personal and professional storylines, the film adroitly spreads out the generic demands of melodrama, sports action, and romance, while making the case that Monica's (non)options as a female athlete are functions of backwards social, political, and financial thinking. By film's end, the WBNA comes to the rescue, meaning that at last, the rest of the planet has caught up with the progressive thinking that

Granted, he hasnt made it to the White House yet (one of his goals), but his face and work are seen in movie houses all over the country. After graduating from New Yorks infamous High School of the Performing Arts, Epps didnt go after fame and fortune, just acting jobs, which he hoped would bring him personal success and satisfaction.

Extractions: ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Omar Epps Bearing talent and good looks in equal measure, African American actor Omar Epps first became visible to audiences and critics alike with his 1992 film debut in Ernest R. Dickerson 's urban drama Juice . Epps shone in his role as one of a group of four Harlem friends trying to make good, with the praise he earned for his work paving the way for steady industry employment.
