Jamie Foxx Tickets in Phoenix
Actor/Comedian/Singer Jamie Foxx has a show coming up in April at the Dodge Theatre. I’m not sure if this will be more concert or comedy or what but fans of Foxx will probably be happy whatever he does. Here is some info on him from wikipedia:
Jamie Foxx (born Eric Marlon Bishop on December 13, 1967) is an Academy Award-winning American actor, Grammy-nominated R&B singer, pianist, and comedian.
He came to Los Angeles in the late 1980s to start a music career. He released an album in 1994, called Peep This and later sang the theme for Any Given Sunday. Even as he pursued a music career, Foxx did stand-up at comedy clubs, mostly on open-mic nights. On his name: “I wrote down all these unisex names at this comedy place because they would always choose the girls to go up… So I wrote down Stacy King, Tracy Brown, Jamie Foxx… And they picked Jamie Foxx. I got up, had a great night and that’s how the name stuck.” In California, he won the 1991 Oakland Comedy Competition and then joined the cast of In Living Color, which at the time starred Keenen Ivory Wayans.
In 1995, his daughter Corrine Marie Bishop was born. Corrine was Foxx’s date to the 2005 Academy Awards.
His first dramatic role came in Oliver Stone’s 1999 film Any Given Sunday, where Foxx played a heavy-partying football player. Considering his athletic background, it wasn’t much of a stretch. He has since evolved into a respected dramatic actor. Following Any Given Sunday, Foxx was featured as taxi driver Max Durocher in the film Collateral alongside Tom Cruise, for which he received outstanding reviews and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. His real standout performance, however, was his portrayal of Ray Charles in the biopic Ray (2004), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Foxx is only the second male, and the first African American, in history to receive two acting Oscar nominations in the same year for two different movies, Collateral and Ray. The only other male actor to achieve this was Al Pacino.
