Through his brother, Joaquin made a guest appearance on the show when he was eight years old, which led to other small television parts on such shows as The Fall Guy, Hill Street Blues and Murder.

He even appeared with River in an ABC Afterschool Special about dyslexia; the two played brothers. At that time, Joaquin was using the name Leaf, which he has chosen for himself when he was six years old. He returned to using his birth name around the age of 16.

Making his film debut in 1986, Phoenix had a supporting role as a wannabe astronaut in the kids adventure movie SpaceCamp.

Also, he tried his hand at primetime drama with Morningstar/Eveningstar, a story of homeless children who find shelter at a facility for senior citizens. Unfortunately, this meeting of the young and old only lasted a few episodes before being cancelled.
