May 28, 2015Jamie fox is an amazing actor. This book is a biography that talks about Jamie Foxx’s career and how did he become the person he is today. Everything started when he was born on December 13th 1967. His real name is Eric Marlon Bishop. His name on screen is Jamie Foxx. He graduates from high school and attend college on a music scholarship. After college he tries moving to Los Angeles to start his career. He acted in his first big role in the movie Toys. He then had a daughter who was named Corrine. The people still don’t know who Corrine’s mother is. He continues his life with acting and joining comedy clubs. In 2009 his second daughter was born. Her name was Annalise. In conclusion Jamie Foxx didn’t start as an actor but started as a music artist, later in his life he became a very known actor and have two daughters.

The people that inspired Jamie were his grandparents.
