Site landing and bio photos by Tim Leyes
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Omar has compiled a diverse résumé of film, television, and theatre credits over a twenty-year career. After post-university detours through the divergent worlds of early-childhood education and rock and roll musicianship, Omar made his first screen appearance in the John Dahl directed You Kill Me (Carol Baum/Code), starring and produced by Sir Ben Kingsley. Shortly thereafter he made his professional stage debut in the dual roles of Lorenzo and the Prince of Morocco in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Since then he has appeared in studio and indie films, as well as North American television shows such as ZARQA (CBC Gem), Shelved (CTV), The Strain (FX), Frankie Drake Mysteries (CBC), and Remedy (Global).​
Stage highlights include a season at The Stratford Festival, Oslo (Theatre 180/Mirvish), The New Canadian Curling Club, Glengarry Glen Ross and Waitress (all for the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre), The Band's Visit (Winnipeg Jewish Theatre), Million Dollar Quartet (The Grand), The Kite Runner (Theatre Calgary/The Citadel), Iceland (Theatre Projects Manitoba), and As You Like It and Titus Andronicus (Canadian Stage).
Omar's voice can be heard in the audiobook Bitter Paradise by Ross Pennie and in the Far Cry video game franchise.
