Joaquin

JOAQUIN PHOENIX

You have probably never heard of Joaquin, but you will have heard of his brother, River. There's really not a lot to say about him, except you have to see him in "Gladiator". What a fantastic role!! Be warned, he had very unnatural feelings towards his sister, but, despite that, he was strangely attractive in that "can't look, must look" kind of way.

Joaquin (pronounced wa-keen) Rafael Phoenix's vital statistics are:

Born: 28 October 1974
Brother to River, Rain, Summer and Liberty (don't ask!)
Parents were members of the Children of God sect
Decided he didn't like his name and changed it to Leaf (oh dear!), then changed it back to Joaquin in the early 90's
He's been in a number of films including:

Gladiator (1999)
8 mm (1999)
To Die For (1995)
Parenthood (1989)

You know, Joaquin, if you're not careful, you'll be typecast! I mean, what will your audience think of you when they've seen you playing a psychopath in "Gladiator"?

Joaquin doesn't want to play anymore "Psychopaths R US"

"Psychopaths R US - The Sequel"

What is the appeal of Roman emperors who are evil and mad?
