Product Description

This versatile actor comedian has taken the entertainment business by storm. His irreverent brand of comedy was launched on the popular 90’s variety show "In Living Color" where he "rocked your world" as Wanda the masseuse. From television and film to stand-up, Jamie Foxx has proven that he is truly an entertainment renaissance man. He starred in his own television sitcom "The Jamie Foxx Show" and has appeared in over a dozen major motion pictures including Ali, The Players Club and Any Given Sunday. BET’s Journeys In Black gives you a glimpse into the life of Jamie Foxx, one of the most popular and hard working entertainers of our time.

4.0 out of 5 stars similar to his Oscar interviews, May 27, 2005

By	Jeffery Mingo (Homewood, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Though this documentary was made before Jamie Foxx's "Ray" performance and Oscar win, it remains true to the interviews that he did at that time. The first half of the disc is all about his filial piety toward his grandparents/adoptive parents. It was not surprising to see comedians such as Mo'nique or Keenan Ivory Wayans interviewed, but Gladys Knight and Oliver Stone were interviewed as well. His Wanda character and his role in "Any Given Sunday" are not brought up until halfway into the documentary. BET bleep out some of the cursing in his film clips, but while interviewing him several curse words are not bleeped out. Not only do you get to see a younger Jamie sporting what he admits was an imitation Lionel Richie curl, but throughout this piece he's wearing a number of stocking caps on his head, like he's growing sporting waves or something. Jamie's humor shines through: even during this serious interview, he cracks jokes almost unintentionally that are downright hilarious.
