When it comes to the entertainment industry, Jamie Foxx is a jack of all trades. Coming up as a comedian, Foxx has made a name for himself throughout the years as a comedian, dramatic actor and singer/songwriter. A two-time Grammy award winner, he also boasts a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Actor in the biopic, Ray. Now the 45 year-old is adding a new venture to his resume as he joins forces with the SyFy network.
Premiering this fall is a new miniseries put on by Jamie Foxx and his production company, Foxxhole Productions. The five episode horror anthology will be a part of SyFy's annual 31 Days of Halloween in October and will have a Twilight Zone inspired theme. This will be the first time the comedian turned actor will find himself in the director seat. He will also write and executive produce the program. "This is a project that I've wanted to do for a long time and I'm so happy to see it come to life," notes Foxx.
While there are currently no specifics about the miniseries, he did let out a secret at last night's MTV Movie Awards. Upon accepting the 2013 MTV Generation Award, Foxx revealed the title of his new project. It was a bit hard to tell as the crowded roared in applause, but sounded like Scenario.

Scenario makes sense for a title as there are reports that his 30 minute show will deal with topics of envy and superficial nature. "Get ready to lose it when some special friends and I bring the scares this October, and who knows - maybe I'll make a guest appearance or two along the way." Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see the final result and who makes a cameo.
