I have to tip my hat to Jamie Foxx -- I am not a fan of his at all (in fact, I actively dislike his whole schtick), but he was outstanding in this movie. The acting is so good that the story is completely secondary (although quite interesting as well).

I kept having to remind myself that I wasn't actually watching Ray Charles. Phenomenal performance from Foxx. Check it out.

Re: Ray

I watched Jamie Foxx on InsideTheActorsStudio last night on Bravo. Very impressed with the guy. His talent is impressive, and it goes beyond acting and comedy. He's a classical pianist and vocalist as well. Athlete. Standup Comedy.

Brilliant imo.

btw....i love "Inside the Actors Studio."

that movie looks good. he'll win an oscar for that part!

is the same guy of some movie called redemption? about gangs and the guy of the history make a book and won a nobel price? :?:
