Repeat After Me, Omar Benson Miller is Not Forest Whitaker: The CSI: Miami Actor Speaks About His Career, Working with the Incredible Mya and the Fact that he is Not Forest

Next month will make five years since we spoke with actor Omar Benson Miller [see here]. You might recall the actor for his role in the Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and Jennifer Lopez movie Shall We Dance or for his recurring spot on the TV show CSI: Miami. Over the years, people have ended up on CYInterview in their quest to figure out if Mr. Miller is related to Oscar winning actor Forest Whitaker. In 2008, Omar told us a rumor began on Wikipedia which led some to believe the two were related. Though no one can deny the physical resemblance, they are not related.

At the center of the piece is Chris “Knuckles” Nilan.
