Omar Cook is a 30x award winning actor and filmmaker born in Riverside, California. From an early age, Omar thrived in sports eventually going on to play collegiate football at Southern University. His collegiate career landed him an opportunity to play professional football where he played 4 seasons in the Indoor Football League. Omar began his journey into entertainment doing stunts as a motion capture actor with the Madden Video Game Series earning credits in Madden ’18, ’19, ’20, ’21, ’22, & ’23. This led to further opportunities doing sports stunts in Hollywood for shows such as Ballers for HBO and All American on The CW, and Colin in Black & White on Netflix. He is most known for his work on The CW series “All American” for his role as “Troy”, a South Crenshaw high school football player as well as doing football stunt work and doubling for the characters “Jabari Long” and “Cameron” appearing in 22 episodes over 4 seasons.

He directed three multi award winning films, "Coke Boys", “SKANDALOUZ” and “Deadly Thoughts” which collectively racked up 30 awards including multiple debut filmmaker awards, Best Actor, Best short film awards and more.
Aside from acting, Omar has established himself as an entrepreneur.

He also co-founded Highest Level Academy, a non-profit organization helping to get student athletes college ready athletically and academically.
As a young African American filmmaker living in Los Angeles, my sole purpose is to create empowering films for the community that teach lessons and inspire people to be better versions of themselves. With the death of John Singleton, I wanted to create a film that paid homage to him and other 90s crime drama classics such as In Too Deep, Deep Cover, Menace II Society, Boyz N The Hood, Juice, and New Jack City.
LA UNDERCOVER is a hard hitting, gritty crime drama with the the tone and vibe of hit tv shows Snowfall, BMF, and Power. I owe the Los Angeles community for the amazing shots that were captured in the making of this film and this film is my gift to my supporters and my community. I am a rising filmmaker who is carving his name in the entertainment industry as I have racked up over 30 awards in international festivals for my short films including Best Debut Filmmaker, Best Short Film, Best Actor, Best Drama and more.
In this film, I captured Los Angeles in a beautiful way with captivating montages. The film features several up and coming actors as well as music artists, as amazing talent is on full display. Creating movies that people can feel is my goal, and LA UNDERCOVER certainly fits that motto.
