August 23, 1970 - October 31, 1993 - American actor and teen idol. Older brother of actor Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix began his acting career at the age of 10, but his first notable work was the role in the film "Stay with Me" (1986) based on the novel by Stephen King. Phoenix began to appear in more "grown-up" films, such as Running in Place (1988), for which the 18-year-old actor was nominated for an Oscar in the category "Best Supporting Actor," and "My Own Private Idaho" ( 1991). The latter drew critical acclaim and brought Phoenix the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival, as well as the Best Actor Award from the National Society of Film Critics of the United States. John Willis named him one of the 12 up-and-coming rookies of 1986, and critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel have described him as an extremely talented actor. On October 31, 1993, Phoenix died of a drug overdose at the entrance to the Viper Room.
