Jamie Foxx is celebrating his 49th today. He and yesterday’s headliner Frank Sinatra are two of only four people to have both won an acting Oscar and had an Number One album on the Billboard 200 (the others are Bing Crosby and Barbra Streisand). Foxx was one of a number of performers to launch an acting career on In Living Color in the early 1990s. His first notable film role was in the 1999 film Any Given Sunday, but his great year as an actor was undoubtedly 2004. He was nominated for two acting Oscars, for Best Supporting Actor for Michael Mann’s Collateral, and for Best Actor for playing Ray Charles in Ray:

Foxx not only won the Oscar, he swept the major Best Actor awards for Ray. Meanwhile, his music career was also highly successful. His album Unpredictable, released in late 2005, quickly reached #1 on the Billboard 200. He has won Grammys in both the Rap and R&B categories.
