Expand Full Bio
Although his early years were more dramatic than any of his film roles, Phoenix's life seems to have stabilized in adulthood. As children, the Phoenix siblings — including Summer and the late River — traveled the world with their hippie parents. In the '80s the Phoenixes worked as child actors, and eldest River became a breakout star. Billed under the name Leaf, Joaquin did his share of TV guest spots and small film roles, notably as a disaffected teen in the 1989 movie
Parenthood
. He then disappeared from showbiz for six years, during which time he reverted to his given name and watched River die from a drug overdose outside a Los Angeles nightspot. (Joaquin's desperate 911 call was played ad nauseam on the news for months.) In 1995 he made a triumphant return to the big screen in the black comedy
To Die For
as an easily manipulated teen murderer. Although his next film,
Inventing the Abbotts
, failed to register at the box office, it sparked a romance with costar Liv Tyler. A turning point for the actor came in 2000 when his deliciously villainous turn in
Gladiator
earned him an Oscar nod. His offbeat sexiness — complete with lip scar and deep green eyes — were subsequently put to use in a number of high-profile projects. In 2005 Phoenix earned rave reviews, a Golden Globe award and his second Oscar nomination for playing Johnny Cash in the biopic
Walk the Line
.
