Ray Charles Robinson (1930-2004), universally known as Ray Charles, was an American music legend and not a film actor in the traditional sense. His extraordinary career focused on music, revolutionizing genres such as soul, R&B, blues, jazz, and country.

Although he did not have a true acting career, his big-screen appearances were primarily limited to music documentaries, concert films, or cameos where he played himself, performing. He therefore did not have "typical roles" or significant fictional films as an actor.

The film most closely associated with his figure is the award-winning biopic **"Ray" (2004)**, where he was masterfully portrayed by Jamie Foxx, who won an Oscar for his performance, bringing Charles's story and his music to a global audience. His legacy remains firmly in the realm of music.
