n Jaime Foxx plays a man suffering from schizophrenia in his new film The Soloist. Jamie says he almost dropped out of the film because of an experience he had when he was 18. Jaime told the LA Times, "When I was 18, somebody slipped something in my drink and it ripped me apart. I had to go to the hospital. I mean, I was gone, it was the kind of trip that... you’re losing your mind. I kept thinking, I was going to be crazy for ever. It didn’t go away for 11 months, I had flashbacks. when I was In music school, at International University in San Diego, I had a roommate That use to help me, he would have to talk me to sleep because of all the crazy thoughts I would have in my head. Sometimes i would go down to the pianos... and I would just play for hours and hours so that I could keep my mind from the crazy stuff.""I thought about just walking away from this movie. I didn't know if i would be able to handle it. I went to a psychiatrist because of my fear of catching schizophrenia. Now I know you can’t catch schizophrenia but I also knew happen to me in the past, and it felt like it was about to happen again.
