Joaquin Phoenix Movie List

 

Joaquin Phoenix is a celebrity actor who was born in Puerto Rico to missionaries. The family traveled a lot, but by the time Joaquin was 6 the family had settled in Los Angeles. He began working on commercials with his siblings and eventually landed small roles on television series. The family moved to Florida and he landed a role in the film Parenthood, alongside Steve Martin.
