He enjoyed a happy upbringing and excelled in everything from academics to music to football. Foxx studied music while a student at the U.S. International University in San Diego and got his start as a stand-up comedian. He then decided to move to L.A. and pursue a comedy career. At the age of 22, he was hired for In Living Color, and later on, he landed a role on sitcom Roc. Foxx ultimately had his own show The Jamie Foxx Show in 1996. That same year, he appeared in a supporting role as a friend of Ben Chaplin in The Truth About Cats and Dogs. After playing a DJ in The Players Club (1998), Foxx garnered praise for his role in Any Given Sunday (1999). He then returned to straight comedy, starring in the crime comedy Bait (2000) as an ex-con trying to mend his ways, and as a man caught in a convenience stored robbery in Held Up (2000). In 2001, Foxx was given an opportunity to take a role as Drew 'Bundini' Brown in Ali. After a role in Shade (2003), Foxx starred in no fewer than four films. The most noteworthy of them was the thriller Collateral (2004), in which he cast on an equal level with Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. His role as a luckless cab driver who is forced into a menacing partnership was a proof that his talents extended well. Shortly afterward, Foxx starred as the legendary blues pianist Ray Charles in Ray (2000). It was only a matter of time before audiences found out how deep Foxx's talents as an actor truly ran. His effort in recreating Ray Charles' unique style and unmistakable visage was so effective that he won the Oscar for Best Actor of 2005.   Filmography: 2006 Miami Vice 2006 Dreamgirls 2005 Stealth 2005 Jarhead 2004 Ray 2004 Collateral 2004 Breakin' All the Rules 2003 Paper Chasers 2003 Redemption 2003 Laffapalooza [TV Series] 2003 Shade 2001 Ali 2000 Held Up 2000 Bait 1999 Any Given Sunday 1998 The Players Club 1997 Booty Call 1996 The Great White Hype 1996 The Truth About Cats & Dogs 1996 The Jamie Foxx Show (1996-2002) 1992 Toys 1990 In Living Color [TV Series] (1990-1993)   Awards: Academy Awards • 2004 Best Supporting Actor nominee (Collateral) • 2004 Best Actor (Ray) British Academy Awards • 2004 Best Supporting Actor (Collateral) • 2004 Best Actor (Ray) Broadcast Film Critics Association • 2004 Best Supporting Actor (Collateral) • 2004 Best Actor (Ray) Golden Globe • 2004 Best Supporting Actor (Collateral) • 2004 Best Actor - Comedy or Musical (Ray) National Board of Review • 2004 Best Actor (Ray) National Society of Film Critics • 2004 Best Actor (Collateral) • 2004 Best Actor (Ray) Screen Actors Guild • 2004 Best Supporting Actor (Collateral) • 2004 Best Actor (Ray)   Accommodation Life in Amed Bali Villa Pantulan Bali Villa Kanti Trading Carlo Showroom Ebone Designs Goddess Silks Sourcing For Living Travels Eco Dive Bali Gunung Leuser Trek Papua Adventures Premier Card Premier Options Jewelry Jean-François Fichot Art Galleries Antonius Kho I Madé Sumadiyasa Richard Winkler Sculpture by Filippos Tony Raka Art Gallery
