Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx got his start on the stage as a comedian. After landing his own television show, the Texas native flexed his acting chops by portraying legendary singer/musician Ray Charles. Foxx won an Academy award for his role as Charles, who famously battled heroin in the 60’s. Foxx captured the essence and mannerisms of the singer so well, his son Ray Charles, Jr. became emotional on the set. “There were times it was just too real,” he said. “There were times he reminded me of my father.”
