Are you surprised by Jamie Foxx's acting?

With the current Collateral out now and the bio pic RAY coming soon, isn't it a pleasant surprise to Jamie Foxx getting these large prominant roles? Singing ablility aside, he held his own while on In living color and his own show. I felt that he really showed his talent in Any Given Sunday and ALI, so I'm waiting for Ray to come out, just to see if he can make us forget he is Jamie and really takeover as Ray Charles. Can he do it? Out of all the recent stand-ups that get movies, i.e. Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, Damon Wayans, he is the better actor.
