Most Hollywood news sites either ignore or malign readers who crave more freedom, less regulation, and a smaller government footprint.
You won’t find that at Hollywood in Toto.
Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist, film critic, and podcaster with more than 20 years of experience covering Hollywood. Toto is a Rotten Tomatoes certified reviewer and belongs to both the Critics’ Choice Association and the Denver Film Critics Society.
Most importantly? He loves movies. What he doesn’t love is how both Hollywood and the media can’t stop trashing people that don't agree with their point of view. AKA Conservatives.
Toto has worked in media long enough to know the vast majority of entertainment coverage leans to the left. And it’s getting even more imbalanced. That’s why he created Hollywood in Toto in 2014 – to give fellow conservatives a place where they can discover the latest news and reviews without insults.
HiT also cheers when Hollywood gets it right, no pun intended (this time). Stars giving ’til it hurts. Movies celebrating freedom and liberty. Actors using their platforms for unabashedly good causes. -
Early Life and Childhood
Jamie Foxx, born Eric Marlon Bishop on December 13, 1967, in Terrell, Texas, was destined for greatness from the very beginning. The second of two children born to Louise Annette Talley Dixon and Darrell Bishop, Jamie's life was shaped by the absence of his parents. His mother, Louise, was a homemaker and nursery operator, while his father, Darrell, worked as a stockbroker. However, shortly after Jamie's birth, his parents' marriage ended in divorce, and he was adopted and raised by his maternal grandparents, Mark and Estelle Talley.
Growing up in the small town of Terrell, Jamie found solace and support in the love and guidance of his grandparents. Mark Talley, a yard worker, and Estelle, a domestic worker, instilled in Jamie the values of hard work, perseverance, and the importance of family. Jamie's upbringing was rooted in the Baptist faith, and he grew up singing in the church choir, where he discovered his love for music and performance.
Despite the challenges of growing up without his biological parents, Jamie found ways to excel and pursue his passions. He was a talented athlete, playing basketball and football in high school. However, it was his love for music and entertainment that truly set him apart. Jamie's grandmother, Estelle, recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue his dreams, often telling him, "You've got a gift, Jamie. Use it to make people happy."
Education and Early Career
After graduating from Terrell High School in 1986, Jamie enrolled at United States International University (now known as Alliant International University) in San Diego, California, on a music scholarship. He studied classical music and composition, honing his skills as a pianist and singer. However, Jamie's true calling was in the world of comedy and acting.
In 1989, Jamie took a leap of faith and began performing stand-up comedy at open mic nights in San Diego. He quickly gained a reputation for his quick wit, energetic stage presence, and uncanny ability to impersonate celebrities. It was during this time that Jamie adopted the stage name "Jamie Foxx," a tribute to the comedian Redd Foxx.
Jamie's comedy career began to take off, and he soon caught the attention of Hollywood. In 1991, he joined the cast of the sketch comedy show "In Living Color," where he showcased his comedic talents alongside future stars like Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans. Jamie's performances on the show earned him critical acclaim and a devoted fan base.
Rise to Fame
After his breakout success on "In Living Color," Jamie's career began to soar. He made his film debut in the 1992 comedy "Toys," starring alongside Robin Williams and Joan Cusack. While the film received mixed reviews, Jamie's performance was praised by critics, and it opened the door for more opportunities in Hollywood.
In the years that followed, Jamie appeared in a string of successful films, including "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" (1996), "Booty Call" (1997), and "The Players Club" (1998). However, it was his role in the 1999 film "Any Given Sunday" that truly solidified his status as a rising star. Jamie played the role of Willie Beamen, a talented but troubled quarterback, opposite Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz. His performance earned him critical acclaim and established him as a serious dramatic actor.
Alongside his burgeoning film career, Jamie also pursued his love for music. In 1994, he released his debut album, "Peep This," which showcased his talents as a singer and musician. The album received positive reviews and helped to establish Jamie as a multi-faceted entertainer.
Television Success
In 1996, Jamie landed his own television sitcom, "The Jamie Foxx Show," which aired on The WB network. The show, which Jamie co-created and starred in, followed the adventures of Jamie King, an aspiring actor and singer who works at his family's hotel in Los Angeles. The show was a ratings success and ran for five seasons, cementing Jamie's status as a television star.
During his time on "The Jamie Foxx Show," Jamie continued to pursue his film career, appearing in movies like "Bait" (2000) and "Ali" (2001). However, it was his portrayal of Drew "Bundini" Brown in "Ali" that earned him critical acclaim and set the stage for his most iconic role to date.
The Arrival of Ray Charles: A Career-Defining Performance
In 2004, Jamie was cast as the legendary musician Ray Charles in the biographical film "Ray." The movie, directed by Taylor Hackford, chronicled the life and career of Charles, from his humble beginnings in Florida to his rise to fame as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
To prepare for the role, Jamie underwent a rigorous transformation, losing 30 pounds and studying Charles' mannerisms and musical style. He also worked closely with Charles himself, who served as a consultant on the film before his death in June 2004.
Jamie's performance in "Ray" was nothing short of extraordinary. He captured the essence of Charles' musical genius, his struggles with addiction, and his enduring spirit. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $75 million at the box office and earning Jamie widespread acclaim.
At the 77th Academy Awards in February 2005, Jamie's portrayal of Ray Charles earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor, making him only the second African American actor to win the award in the Best Actor category, after Sidney Poitier in 1964. Jamie's emotional acceptance speech, in which he paid tribute to his grandmother and his journey from small-town Texas to Hollywood, was one of the highlights of the night.
Continued Success and Versatility
Following his triumph with "Ray," Jamie's career continued to flourish. He showcased his versatility as an actor in a wide range of roles, from the action thriller "Collateral" (2004) opposite Tom Cruise to the musical drama "Dreamgirls" (2006) alongside Beyoncé Knowles and Eddie Murphy.
In "Collateral," Jamie played the role of Max, a cab driver who finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a ruthless hitman played by Cruise. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $200 million worldwide and earning Jamie a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
In "Dreamgirls," Jamie portrayed Curtis Taylor Jr., a ruthless record executive who takes a talented girl group under his wing and leads them to stardom. The film, which was based on the Broadway musical of the same name, was a box office hit and earned Jamie a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Jamie continued to showcase his range as an actor, appearing in a diverse array of films. He starred opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the action-comedy "Due Date" (2010), played a slave-turned-bounty-hunter in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" (2012), and portrayed a Death Row inmate in the powerful drama "Just Mercy" (2019).
Musical Pursuits and Grammy Success
Alongside his thriving acting career, Jamie also continued to pursue his passion for music. In 2005, he collaborated with rapper Kanye West on the hit song "Gold Digger," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned Jamie a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance.
Jamie's success in the music industry continued with the release of his second studio album, "Unpredictable," in 2005. The album, which featured collaborations with artists like Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, and Snoop Dogg, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
In the years that followed, Jamie released three more studio albums: "Intuition" (2008), "Best Night of My Life" (2010), and "Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses" (2015). Each album showcased Jamie's talents as a singer and songwriter, blending elements of R&B, soul, and pop music.
Personal Life and Philanthropy
Despite his busy career, Jamie has always made time for his family and philanthropic pursuits. He has two daughters, Corinne and Annalise, and has spoken openly about the joys and challenges of fatherhood.
In addition to his work in entertainment, Jamie is also a dedicated philanthropist. He has supported a wide range of charitable causes, including education, disaster relief, and HIV/AIDS awareness. In 2008, he founded the Jamie Foxx Foundation, which provides scholarships and support for students from underserved communities.
Jamie has also been an advocate for social justice and racial equality. In the wake of the 2020 killing of George Floyd and the subsequent protests against police brutality and systemic racism, Jamie used his platform to speak out and call for change. He participated in several protests and rallies, and used his social media accounts to amplify the voices of activists and organizers.
A Legacy of Excellence
Throughout his career, Jamie Foxx has proven himself to be one of the most talented and versatile entertainers of his generation. From his early days as a stand-up comedian to his Academy Award-winning performance in "Ray," Jamie has consistently pushed himself to new heights and challenged expectations.
His impact on popular culture is undeniable. He has inspired countless artists and performers, and his work has touched the lives of millions of fans around the world. Whether he's making us laugh, cry, or think, Jamie Foxx has a rare ability to connect with audiences on a deep and meaningful level.
As he enters his fourth decade in the entertainment industry, Jamie shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to take on challenging and diverse roles, and his passion for music and philanthropy remains as strong as ever.
