Omri's acting career started at the young age of 8 as an extra in Simon and Simon TV series (1984). From there, Omri starred in hit TV shows Dallas (1983-1991) as John Ross Ewing and, the short lived series, Eerie, Indiana (1991-1992) as Marshall Teller. He also appeared in several movies, but he is best known for his roles in Hocus Pocus (1993), Matinee (1993), Dallas: J.R. Returns (1996).
In Hebrew, Omri means "sheaf of grain," and Katz means "descendant of a priest."
