Joaquin Phoenix is an American actor born in Puerto Rico. He is known for his atypical face, which we have seen in front of the cameras of many great directors, including James Gray, with whom he shot three landmark films in his career: The Yards, We Own the Night and Two Lovers.
Later Joaquin, following in his brother River’s footsteps, begins filming for television: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Arabesque, The Falling Man in 1986, he obtained his first film role and shot in Heading for the stars. After winning over the critics with his character in Parenthood (1989), he decided to take a break and get away from the artistic world by following his father to Mexico.
