In early 2005, Omarion appeared in several films., most notably You Got Served, in which he starred alongside his label mate Marques Houston and his former B2K bandmates. The movie centered around a group of friends in a breakdancing crew who take part in a street dancing competition. It earned $40 million worldwide. Later that year he had the role of the school bully "Reggie" in the comedy Fat Albert, based on the animated series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

In late 2007, Omarion, starred in the urban thriller/horror film Somebody Help Me, alongside Marques Houston, Alexis Fields and Brooklyn Sudano (daughter of Donna Summer). This was released only on DVD and aired on BET in celebration of Halloween.

Omarion also starred in Feel the Noise, which was produced by Jennifer Lopez. A drama about a young, troubled rapper which he is in singing "Rob" from Harlem who vacates to Puerto Rico with his father, finding his love for the native island's 'Reggaeton' music and love interest "CC". The single for the film was called "Cut Off Time" and featured Kat DeLuna.
