Omar Doom

“When I was twenty-three, I was having lunch with Quentin in Hollywood. I was telling him that I was thinking of shortening my name from Omar Makhdoomi to Omar Makhdoom. He said, “Why not just be Omar Doom?” I had never thought of that, and at first I thought it was a little too ridiculous, but after a while I was convinced. And I’ve never regretted it.”
