Over the past weekend, I saw both Cinderella Man and (finally) Ray. Both great stories, both talented directors and both terrific lead actors. And, yet, I never forgot that I was watching Russell Crowe act…act extremely well…but… Jamie Foxx, though was Ray. If it were a boxing match, Ray would win a TKO. I know Crowe is capable of the same disappearance into a part (see The Insider for this. Riveting.). If nothing else, watching the stories of Braddock and Ray Charles Robinson certainly gives one perspective.
