Jamie Foxx Tickets |
Andrew Dice Clay Tickets |
Once famous for wacky TV comedy, Jamie Foxx now gets notice as a dramatic actor in high-profile movies such as Any Given Sunday (1999, directed by Oliver Stone) and Ray (the 2004 biopic of singer Ray Charles). Foxx grew up in Texas and moved to southern California to work on a music career. He released an album, Peep This, in 1994, but had more success in TV comedy, first with In Living Color (1991-1994) and then with his own eponymous series (1996-2001). By the late '90s Foxx's movie career was taking off, thanks to funny roles in films like Booty Call (1997) and The Player's Club (1998, directed by Ice Cube). By the end of the decade he was getting good reviews for dramatic performances as well, and now he is considered a talented actor as well as an inventive comedian. In 2004 he was nominated for Academy Awards in two different categories: as a supporting actor opposite Tom Cruise in the drama Collateral, and then winning the Oscar as best leading actor for Ray.
