JAMIE FOXX BIOGRAPHY

  • Jamie Foxx, named Eric Morlon Bishop, was born on December 13, 1967 to Shaheed Abdulah and Louise Annette (Talley) Dixon (divorced in 1973)  in Terrell, Texas.  He was raised by his grandparents Mark and Esther Talley, who legally adopted him when he was seven months old. He has two half-sisters and one stepbrother.

  • Foxx showed an aptitude towards entertaining at an early age, and started piano lessons at age 3 and was in his church’s choir. He continued learning and performing music. He was athletically gifted as well, and was the star quarterback on his High School team.  However, his passion for music won out and he attended the United States International University (in San Diego) with a music scholarship.  He then also attended Julliard where he mastered his skills on the piano.

  • After College, he moved to Los Angeles.  He was a struggling artist and began selling shoes to make ends meet.  Then one night he took his girlfriend out to the The Comedy Store on an open mike night.  She dared him to get up, and when he did, he had the whole place laughing their heads off.  He soon quit his sales job and began doing stand-up comedy. It was during these club years that he received his name Jamie Foxx.

  • His big break came in 1991, when he received a role on the TV comedy, In Living Color, which he maintained until 1994.  He then tried his hand at music again, and released the album Peep This. Although the critics loved his R&B sound, it did not produce many sales.  So he turned back to acting and appeared in a few movies during the mid to late 1990’s, such as Any Given Sunday and he also tried his hand with his own self-titled television show, The Jamie Fox Show in 1996.

  • In 1995, while trying to make it he had a daughter, Corinne with his girlfriend.

  • In 2000, he got his next big break with his critically acclaimed role as Alvin Sanders  in the movie Bait.

  • In 2003, he made headlines when he got into a fight with a police officer at a casino.

  • He overcame the bad press in 2004 with his great performances in the movie Collateral, the made fneor TV movie Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story and the blockbuster hit Ray.  He won the Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles.
