Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles in Ray

Jamie Foxx has been at the frontline of some of the greatest films and shows we’ve ever seen. But the one acting job that stands out from the rest is his portrayal of the legendary blues and rhythm singer Ray Charles. The 2004 hit biopic Ray follows 30 years of the iconic singer’s life. In an interview, Foxx talked about how he readied himself for the film and divulged that the singer informally auditioned him. The actor also stated that he was willing to glue his eyes shut for the role. Of course, his journey as Ray Charles came to a great end as he bagged the Academy Award for Best Actor the following year.
