I find it really amazing how you can't picture certain actors in certain rolls and they do the job perfectly!....it just goes to show how much you can underestimate their persona because of their music.....Will, I never pictured Jamie Foxx portraying the great Ray Charles either.....Jamie Foxx fit the part perfectly, and this I found very astounding.....All the great music legends may be music legends and icons but they all have deep dark domestic secrets..... ...
