Early life

Born in Terrell, Texas, [5] Foxx is the son of Darrell Bishop (renamed Shahid Abdula following his conversion to Islam), [6] who sometimes worked as a stockbroker, and Louise Annette Talley Dixon. Shortly after his birth, Foxx was adopted and raised by his mother's adoptive parents, Esther [7] Marie (née Nelson), a domestic worker and nursery operator, and Mark Talley, a yard worker. [8] [9] He has had little contact with his birth parents, who were not part of his upbringing. [10] He was raised in the black quarter of Terrell, which at the time was a racially segregated community. [10] He has often acknowledged his grandmother's influence as one of the greatest reasons for his success. [8] [11]

Foxx began playing the piano when he was five years old. [12] He had a strict Baptist upbringing [8] [13] and as a teenager was a part-time pianist and choir leader in Terrell's New Hope Baptist Church. [10] His natural talent for telling jokes was already in evidence as a third grader, when his teacher used him as a reward: if the class behaved well, Foxx would tell them jokes. He attended Terrell High School, where he received top grades and played basketball and football (as quarterback). His ambition was to play for the Dallas Cowboys, and he was the first player in the school's history to pass for more than 1,000 yards. [10] [14] He also sang in a band called Leather and Lace. [10] After high school, Foxx received a scholarship to United States International University, where he studied musical and performing arts composition. [10] [15]

Career

1989–2003: Standup, sitcom, and acting debut

Foxx first told jokes at a comedy club's open mic night in 1989, after accepting a girlfriend's dare. When he found that female comedians were often called first to perform, he chose the stage name of Jamie Foxx, which he felt was ambiguous enough to disallow any biases, [10] [16] with his surname being a tribute to the black comedian Redd Foxx. [16] Foxx joined the cast of In Living Color in 1991, where his recurrent character Wanda also shared a name with Redd's friend and co-worker, LaWanda Page. Following a recurring role in the comedy-drama sitcom Roc , [17] Foxx went on to star in his own sitcom The Jamie Foxx Show , from 1996 to 2001, which he also co-created and produced through his company Foxx Hole Productions and was aired on the WB network.

Foxx made his film debut in the 1992 comedy Toys . His first dramatic role came in Oliver Stone's 1999 film Any Given Sunday , where he was cast as a hard-partying quarterback, [8] partly because of his own football background. [8] During filming, Foxx fought with costar LL Cool J. [18] [19]

In 2001, Foxx starred opposite Will Smith in Michael Mann's biographical drama Ali. Three years later, Foxx played taxi driver Max Durocher in the Mann film Collateral alongside Tom Cruise, for which he received outstanding reviews. Critic Roger Ebert praised Foxx's performance, stating that, "Jamie Foxx's work is a revelation. I've thought of him in terms of comedy ("Booty Call," "Breakin' all the Rules"), but here he steps into a dramatic lead and is always convincing and involving". [20] He went on to receive a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. [8]

In 1994, Foxx released an album (on the Fox record label) entitled Peep This , which was not commercially successful. In 2003, Foxx made a cameo in Benzino's music video for "Would You", which features LisaRaye McCoy and Mario Winans.

2003–2006: Career stardom

In 2003, Foxx featured on the rapper Twista's song, "Slow Jamz", together with Kanye West, which reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #3 on the UK Singles chart. His second collaboration with Kanye West, "Gold Digger," in which Foxx sang the Ray Charles-influenced "I Got a Woman" hook, then went straight to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining there for 10 weeks. In 2005, Foxx featured on the single "Georgia" by Atlanta rappers Ludacris and Field Mob, which sampled Ray Charles' hit "Georgia on My Mind".

Foxx would also portray Ray Charles in the biographical film Ray (2004), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor [8] and the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Foxx is the third male in history (after Barry Fitzgerald and Al Pacino) to receive two acting Oscar nominations in the same year for two different movies, Collateral and Ray . In 2005, Foxx was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. [21]

Foxx released his second studio album, Unpredictable , in December 2005. It debuted at No. 2, selling 598,000 copies in its first week, [22] rising to No. 1 the following week and selling an additional 200,000 copies. [23] To date, the album has sold 1.98 million copies in the United States, and was certified double Platinum by the RIAA. [24] [25] The album also charted on the UK Albums Chart, where it peaked at No. 9. [26] Foxx became the fourth artist to have both won an Academy Award for an acting role and to have achieved a No. 1 album in the U.S, joining Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Barbra Streisand.

Foxx's first single from the album, the title track "Unpredictable" (featuring Ludacris), peaked in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles and also made the UK Top 20 singles chart; the track samples "Wildflower" by New Birth. The second U.S. single from the album was "DJ Play a Love Song," which reunited Foxx with Twista. In the UK, the second single was "Extravaganza", which saw Foxx once again collaborate with Kanye West, although Foxx did not feature in the song's music video.

On December 8, 2006, Foxx received four Grammy Award nominations, which included Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for Love Changes featuring Mary J. Blige, Best R&B Album for Unpredictable , Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for Georgia by Ludacris & Field Mob featuring Jamie Foxx, and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for Unpredictable featuring Ludacris.

[30]

On April 6, 2009, Foxx, a longtime fan of country music, performed the George Strait song "You Look So Good in Love" at the George Strait Artist of the Decade All-Star Concert.

Well, I only had to be white for at least eight hours today, [or] I only had to be white for four hours." [36] The filming was emotional as Foxx said, "It's tough shooting when you're in plantation row and that's where your ancestors were persecuted and killed." [37]

On November 25, 2012, at BET's Soul Train Awards, Foxx joked: "It's like church in here. First of all, giving honor to God and our lord and savior Barack Obama." [38] The joke led to condemnation from some Christians, to which Foxx responded: "I'm a comic [and] sometimes I think people get a little too tight." [39] While hosting Saturday Night Live on December 8, 2012, to promote Django Unchained, Foxx joked about being excited "to kill all the white people in the movie".
