I think he could potentially pull this off quite well (OK, I don't know what the plans are as far as vocals). He's pretty soft-spoken and articulate when he's "himself" in interviews. What say ye? http://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=28946

I'm not a Jamie Foxx fan but thought he did a very good job of not annoying me as Ray.
