Jamie Foxx (born Eric Marlon Bishop on December 13, 1967) is an American actor, Grammy Award-nominated singer, and stand-up comic. Foxx is possibly best known for his portrayal of musician Ray Charles in Ray. With Ray, he became one of the few African Americans to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. Jamie studied at Juilliard and San Diego's United States International University in music. Foxx received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on September 14, 2007.


Most recently criticized for his down low lifestyle, Foxx admits to sharing a liking for the same gender. He stated that he has a very huge gay following and that gay Hollywood is partly responsible for his success. However, he was criticized by the gay community for not coming forward with his relationship with comediane Speedy, who is a regular on the Foxxhole radio show. Friends and colleageues alike have speculated that Speedy recieved his own radio show due to their ensuing and speculative relationship.

Foxx changed his name while doing stand up comedy , when he found out that female comedians were often called first to perform. He felt Jamie Foxx was an ambiguous enough name to disallow any biases. His last name was chosen as a tribute to Redd Foxx.

I'm a real person, and I'm angry. I'm trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism-I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I'll put it on my shoulders. I'll charge it to my account."I don't look around to see what others are doing. No, I see me. And I feel in my own heart that I'm not doing enough. I want to do more.

Auditioned for the Cuba Gooding Jr. role in Jerry Maguire (1996).

Is the first person to have been nominated for three acting awards at the Golden Globes in the same year.

Is only the second male in history to receive two acting Oscar nominations in the same year for two different movies. The first male to do so was Al Pacino.

Huge fan of Professional Wrestling.

Salary

Miami Vice (2006) $10,000,000
