OMAR GOODING ON THE DEFENSE: Actor sticks up for ‘Barbershop’; has his brother’s back against Paul Mooney.
But the criticism seemed a bit unfair to the actor, who said it was a challenge to squeeze the comedic/dramatic swings of the two hour films in the franchise into a half-hour frame.
In “The Gospel,” Gooding stars as Wesley, the manager of a famous RandB star who walks away from the secular world to return to his gospel roots.

 SPLICEDwire | "Baby Boy" review (2001) John Singleton, Tyrese Gibson, Taraji P. Henson, Omar Gooding, Ving Rhames, ...
It's great to see Rhames in a role with some depth again (he deserves better than playing sidekicks to white heroes in "M:I-2" and "Entrapment"), and he gives a strong performance as Melvin hints at intimidating glimpses of his suppressed inner brute while putting up with a lot of condescension from Jody.
Although Gibson in the lead was also a good choice -- his handsome, angry, angular face lends credence to Jody's stormy nature -- the fact remains that while the ensemble characters from "Boyz 'N the Hood" felt trapped by their environment, Jody is just lazy and callow.
But as it is, Jody's journey is practically meaningless since we're supposed to believe his entire nature changes forever based on a cheap, movie cliché change of heart.

 Baby Boy (2001): Tyrese Gibson, Taraji P. Henson, A. J. Johnson, Omar Gooding - PopMatters Film Review
Still, the movie comes up with images that are consistently involving, provocative, and instructive, as when Jody attempts to cheat on Yvette with one of her coworkers and can't bring himself to do it.
The coworker, named Pandora (Tawny Dahl), of all things, comes on strong, with aroma therapy candles and skimpy lingerie at her apartment (point being: he's managed to get himself there, no matter how "good" he thinks he is).
Finally pushing past her at the door, he offers a standard "girl's" excuse, "I can't do this." He surprises himself, at last.

 Playmakers: The Complete Series | video : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Daddy issues, crack addiction, spousal abuse, and decrepit twentysomething bodies are but a portion of the problems visited upon the fictional Cougars pro football team -- anchored by nemeses Hornsby and Gooding (Cuba's little brother) in Playmakers: The Complete Series.
These nasty dramas infuriated the NFL, prompting ESPN to drop the show after one season -- but heck, what a season.
Eleven daring episodes cover such varied story lines as Gooding's excruciating visit to a depraved urologist before a drug test (let's just say a greasy tube and someone else's pee are involved) and Hornsby's gentle comrade-ship with his best friend and teammate (Jason Matthew Smith), who's on antidepressants after paralyzing an opponent.
