Ep. 362: Actor & 'The Devil You Know' Star Omar Epps

Published: March 30, 2022, 8:34 p.m.

Ice Cream Convos had the pleasure of chatting with Omar Epps about his new film, "The Devil You Know," which opens exclusively in AMC Theaters on Friday (April 1).

During our fun and insightful convo, Omar, who executive produced and stars in the Charles Murray film, shares how "The Devil You Know" is a "tale about morality, a tale about family, a tale about brotherhood, and a tale about redemption."

In the film, Omar plays the role of once-incarcerated Marcus Cowans, who is trying to turn over a new leaf with the support of his loving family.

Upon discovering that one of his brothers (Will Catlett) may have been involved in a horrific crime, Marcus grapples with the limits of brotherhood and loyalty.

He and his family, increasingly wary of the justice system\u2019s failings, end up in the crosshairs of a seasoned but jaded detective (Michael Ealy).

Omar Epps has a career in Hollywood that has spanned over 3 decades.

When asked to share the secret to his longevity, he responded:

"A blessing. That\u2019s what it all is - one giant humongous blessing. I try to have humility, I try to stay humble, and I\u2019m focused on my contribution to this world being positive\u2026on and off the screen."
