About the Cast

JAMIE FOXX (Nick Rice) won an Academy Award® for Best Actor in 2005 for his
portrayal of the legendary Ray Charles in the Taylor Hackford-directed biopic Ray. In
addition to winning the Oscar®, Foxx swept the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild
(SAG), BAFTA and NAACP Image Awards, as well as numerous critics’ awards. He also
shared in a SAG Award nomination received by the film’s ensemble cast. Also in 2005,
Foxx garnered Oscar®, Golden Globe, SAG Award, BAFTA Award and Image Award
nominations in the category of Best Supporting Actor for his work in Michael Mann’s
dramatic thriller Collateral, in which he starred with Tom Cruise.

That same year, Foxx also earned Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations
and won an Image Award for Best Actor in a Television Movie for his portrayal of
condemned gang member-turned-Nobel Peace Prize nominee Stan “Tookie” Williams in
the FX Network movie “Redemption.” This marked the first time that a single actor has
received three Golden Globe nominations and four SAG Award nominations in the same
year. He is also the first African-American actor to be nominated for two Oscars® in the
same year, and is only the second man in history to receive two Oscar® nominations in
the same year for acting.

In 2007, Foxx took on the role of executive producer of the film Life Support. The
film, which closed the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, starred Queen Latifah in the
inspirational true-life story of a mother who overcame her crack addiction to become a
positive role model and an AIDS activist. Also in 2007, Foxx was seen in The Kingdom,
playing the leader of a counter-terrorist team on the hunt for those responsible for a
deadly bombing attack on Americans working in the Middle East.
Foxx was also seen in Dreamgirls, a screen adaptation of the Broadway musical
that was written and directed by Bill Condon. The film won a Golden Globe for Best
Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and received a SAG nomination for Best Ensemble
Cast.

In addition to his outstanding work in front of the camera, Foxx has also achieved
a thriving career in music. His most recent album to go platinum, “Intuition,” debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. The first single off the album, “She Got Her Own,” went
to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. The second single, “Blame It,” broke
records, including holding the No. 1 position for 12 consecutive weeks on the Urban
Mainstream Chart. “Intuition” features an impressive list of artists such as T.I., Lil Wayne,
Kanye West and Ne-Yo.

The release of Foxx’s J Records debut, “Unpredictable,” topped the charts in
December 2005, selling over a million units in 20 days and holding the No. 1 spot for five
weeks. Foxx was nominated for eight Billboard Music Awards, three Grammy Awards,
one Soul Train Music Award and two American Music Awards, where he won Favorite
Male Artist. The album was nominated for three Grammy Awards in 2006, including Best
R&B Album. The track “Love Changes,” featuring Mary J. Blige, was nominated for Best
R&B Performance By a Duo or Group and the title track “Unpredictable,” featuring
Ludacris, received a nod for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

In January 2006, Foxx announced his partnership with SIRIUS Satellite Radio to
start his own 24-hour radio station called The Foxxhole. The station is a combination of
comedy and music.

The Texas native first came to fame as a comedian. After spending time on the
comedy circuit, Foxx joined Keenan Ivory Wayans, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and
Tommy Davidson in the landmark FOX sketch comedy series “In Living Color,” creating
some of the show’s funniest and most memorable moments. In 1996, he launched his
own series, “The Jamie Foxx Show,” which was one of the top-rated shows on the WB
network during its five-year run. Foxx not only starred on the series, he was the cocreator
and executive producer, and also directed several episodes.

Foxx’s big-screen break came in 1999 when Oliver Stone cast him as star
quarterback Willie Beamen in Any Given Sunday with Al Pacino. Some of his other
notable film roles include Michael Mann’s Ali, alongside Will Smith, Miami Vice, with
Colin Farrell, and Sam Mendes’ Gulf War drama Jarhead, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.

GERARD BUTLER (Clyde Shelton, Producer) solidified himself as a leading
man when he starred as King Leonidas in Zack Snyder’s blockbuster 300. The film broke
box-office records in its opening weekend and went on to earn more than $450 million
worldwide.

Most recently, Butler starred in Robert Luketic’s comedy The Ugly Truth with
Katherine Heigl and Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla, opposite Thandie Newton. Butler can next be seen starring in the futuristic thriller Gamer. He is also a voice performer in the
animated film How to Train Your Dragon, slated for a March 2010 release.

Though perhaps best known for his action-adventure films, Butler is a versatile
actor starring across genre lines. He recently starred in the children’s adventure film
Nim’s Island, opposite Jodie Foster, and the romantic drama P.S. I Love You, with Hilary
Swank. Butler previously starred in the film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical
The Phantom of the Opera. He also earned critical acclaim for his work opposite Emily
Mortimer in the independent feature Dear Frankie, which screened at the Cannes Film
Festival.

Born in Scotland, Butler’s stage debut was at the age of 12 in the musical
“Oliver,” at Glasgow’s famous Kings Theatre. As a young man, his dreams of acting
were deferred and he went on to study law for seven years before returning to the stage
in London. In 1996, he landed the lead role in the acclaimed stage production of
“Trainspotting.” He later starred on the London stage in such plays as “Snatch” and the
Donmar Warehouse production of Tennessee Williams’ “Suddenly Last Summer,”
opposite Rachel Weisz.

In 1997, Butler made his feature film debut in John Madden’s award-winning
drama Mrs. Brown, starring Judi Dench. His early film work includes roles in Fast Food,
One More Kiss, Harrison’s Flowers and the 1999 screen adaptation of Chekhov’s The
Cherry Orchard.

Butler’s other film credits include Beowulf & Grendel, Timeline, Lara Croft Tomb
Raider: The Cradle of Life and Reign of Fire.

In addition to his acting pursuits, Butler launched the production shingle Evil
Twins with his longtime manager Alan Siegel.
