Joaquin is an American actor, producer, music video director, musician and activist who has received a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe Award and three Academy Award nominations for his work.
He was born on October 28th 1974, in RÃo Piedras, Puerto Rico. He has great ability to put thoughts into action, and there is no waiting once he sets his mind on something. Where others tend to think or dream, Joaquin takes action while radiating energy, enthusiasm, and livelihood around. He utilizes his practical skills, strong physical dexterity, strength, and good health to work his hands in either a practical or artistic way, such as being a sculptor or craftsman that possesses both physical and mental talents, and strives for high quality end results.
Is it just me or is it getting crazier out there?
– Arthur Fleck, Joker
The first breakout star of the Phoenix family was River, who landed a role on the short-lived television series Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which aired from 1982 to 1983. 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.
