He left this planet too soon.
AvsGirl41 said:River Phoenix is his real name. Brother of Joaquin. They all have hippy names. (Joaquin disliked his and went by Leaf for awhile.)
He was an actor and showed real promise. He did an incredible impersonation of Harrison Ford, playing young Indy at the beginning of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."
He died of a drug overdose outside the Viper Room. Joaquin is the one who called the paramedics.
JOFO said:my little cousin looked just like him.
unfortunately, he committed suicide, so I'm usually uncomfortable around river phoenix conversation.
on a lighter note, a great movie with him is the one where he loses his girlfriend to a rich guy; they're in high school;....I forget what it's called.....it's his name; johnny something or something like that.
oh, and natalie merchant wrote a great song for him called "river".
