i really admire actors that take on challenging and complex roles such as this, unlike many who just do shoot em ups or stupid comedies that require nearly zero talent. do i think actors should be paid as much as they are? definitely not, but that's the world of entertainment and that isn't going to change anytime soon. bravo to jamie foxx for challenging himself with roles showcasing good people/good stories. i'd rather think of him earning a paycheck for this when he's helping spread the story of a homeless man with an incredible gift than tom cruise for mission impossible 4.
