Born August 23, 1970. Died October 31, 1993, outside Johnny Depp’s VIPER ROOM. Was an actor and a musician; Joaquin Phoenix is his brother.
I was not even alive when he died but I was born a year later I saw his face on a gone to soon magazine and was so sad when I learned how he died and how much potential he had, but he was a gifted actor and i watch his movies all the time and I can see such a wonderful person and I hope he can be remembered for the great person he was and not the tragic mistake that took his life, but meeting him would be one of the best gifts ever.
I was 13 when he died, and I have always been disturbed by his death. Maybe it’s because he was so young, maybe it’s because of how he died, or maybe it’s because i was so young and just entering my adolescent years of obsessing about beautiful men. Even still, maybe it’s because he was a deeply interesting and involved person who seemed almost unreal and completely out of reach to anyone. In the end i guess he was out of reach to everyone. I have always wished i had met him. I still have dreams about him occasionally, and he’s always smiling and laughing and walking hand in hand with his first girlfriend, the amazing Martha Plimpton. Maybe it’s a hope that when we each die, we live on somehow, somewhere with our soulmate at our side.
I admire him because he was a beautiful guy and a wonderful actor. Whose only problem was that he let drugs take over his life.
If i met River Phoenix i would ask him. Why he let all that great talent go to waste, And what was on his mind at that moment in his life that drove him to make that decision…. Tell him that i loved him the moment i saw him in lean on me years before i knew he wasn’t on earth anymore…. I loved you then and still do.. R.I.P.
I had a pint with him at the Zeitgeist in San Francisco. 1990. A Sunday afternoon.
