DSL Joaquin Phoenix Vital Stats: Birth Name: Joaquin Phoenix Born: October 28, 1974 Birth Place: San Juan, Puerto Rico Nationality: American Bio: A child actor who began in the shadow of his famous older brother. Joaquin Phoenix matured into an unconventionally handsome adult performer with an impressive range, first winning widespread notice and acclaim for his lead role in the critically acclaimed satire "To Die For" (1995). With his scrawny frame, lank hair and suggestion of a harelip, he lacked the drop-dead good looks of his older sibling the late River Phoenix. Nonetheless he brought both poignancy and intensity to his portrayal of a love-struck but dim-witted lower-class teen seduced into murder. After a peripatetic childhood traveling with his missionary parents and siblings in Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Mexico, Phoenix broke into show business around the age of eight with a bit part on "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", a CBS TV series on which River was a regular. | |
