A career saved by the fact that he slightly resembles the REAL ray charles... 218554[/snapback] Let's see. Jamie Foxx: two Oscar nominations. One for Best Actor and one for Best Supporting Actor, the latter of which had nothing to do with Ray Charles. And this list of credentials. Yep. That Jamie Foxx. Thank god he looks like Ray Charles, or God knows the only accomplishments in his life would be having a letter to the editor published in a college newspaper prior to landing a job working for a porn site.

IDBillzFan Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Really? He must be a great singer, then. 218717[/snapback] Or at the very least he can lip sync pretty damn well. Did you ever hear Ray Charles' song "Mess Around"? If you go to this link and scroll down, you can hear a clip of it. The song was used in the movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" in one of the best scenes in the movie. John Candy is driving the rental car at night while Steve Martin is sleeping in the passenger seat. The song comes on the radio, and John Candy starts jamming to the song...banging on the steering wheel, playing the air saxaphone, and dragging on his cigarette. He tosses out the window, but it bounces off the window and goes into the back seat, where it starts a fire. John Candy starts to get warm, so he tries to take off his jacket while holding on to the steering wheel. Arm gets caught...and, well...madcap comedy ensues.

The part where they are on the highway collecting Candy's stuff (and the inferno ensues) is right near the Batavia exit. Mindless trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
