description: "He became Ray Charles so completely he won an Oscar for it, then kept shifting: comic, crooner, Django's avenging gunman, the voice in Pixar's Soul. The range is the point — sketch player to Best Actor, sitcom star to R&B chart-topper, always refusing a single lane."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Eric Marlon Bishop on December 13, 1967, he broke through as a sketch player on In Living Color from 1991 to 1994, then landed his own sitcom, The Jamie Foxx Show, which he starred in, co-created, and produced until 2001. In 2004 he inhabited Ray Charles so fully he took the Academy Award for Best Actor — and earned a second Oscar nomination that same year for Collateral. He built a second career as an R&B singer, scoring two number-one Billboard singles with features on "Slow Jamz" and "Gold Digger," and a Grammy for "Blame It"; four of his five albums cracked the top ten, with Unpredictable hitting number one in 2005. Since 2017 he's hosted Beat Shazam, and in 2021 he published his autobiography, Act Like You Got Some Sense.
