Omar Gooding on His Father Singing 'Everybody Plays the Fool', Brother is Cuba Gooding Jr (Part 1)

--------
In this clip, Omar Gooding opened up about growing up in the Los Angeles-area with his two siblings, including his brother, Cuba Gooding Jr. From there, Omar spoke about his father, Cuba Gooding Sr., being the lead singer of the group The Main Ingredient, who are known for their hit song, "Everybody Plays the Fool." Despite his success, Omar revealed that his father was blacklisted after going to South Africa during apartheid. After falling on hard times, the Gooding family was homeless, which Omar says didn't really bother him as much because it was all he knew. To hear more, including his brother booking acting roles as a kid, hit the above clip.

this dude's acting skills are highly overlooked, this ain't a situation where he riding the family name, he actually is very good

Him and Jason Weaver used to make me laugh so much on that Smart Guy show. Hilarious and great chemistry. That show was underrated.

Omar was always fun to watch in those classic shows from childhood!

50 needs to put him on one of his shows, give him that spotlight he deserves

Hanging with Mr Cooper was a great show! It's good to see Omar Gooding getting his shine because he is just as talented as Cuba.

Everybody Plays the fool is a certified classic, and so, so true.

[Kongo-Ken]

It’s good to see him & Jason Weaver not catch that child star curse. I hope to see them get some good roles in the near future, they seem easy to work with.
