http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/joaquinphoenix_blog.html apparently learning the guitar with walk the line movie had a huge affect on him and he is pursuing music now.. i liked his movies but i dont know if i will really miss him much..

He must be genuinely going after his dream. He finally found his true passion in singing after all those years of acting. I guess the influence of Johnny Cash's life into a movie inspired him.

Hello, I'm surprised for getting the BR award for the first time. Thank you very much for giving me the BR moonlightmagik! The best!

Yes, according to his camp he'll be resting for acting for a while but it doesn't mean he'll quit. He'll be concentrating in his music. But just last week saw him in some red carpet event, and he was so different. He was unorganized and untidy. People thought there must be something psychological bad change that's happening in him but his representatives are denying this speculation. ^^,

Joaquin Phoenix - I only remember him in the movie Gladiator where he played the loathsome villian!
I cannot really remember him befor the movie Gladiator. His role as the loathsome Commodus. Any shows he did before that? Never watched him before. It is only after Gladiator that I see him more often in the movies. I have yet to watch Walk the Line. Is he any good singing?

i havent seen walk the line.. im not a country music fan so.. but i havent heard any of his music.. this article was the first i had even known about him doing music outside of that role.. i keep wanting to think he was in the movie signs but i think it might be some one else that kind of looked like him

I liked the way he acts. It is a real pity that he has quit now. Maybe he will return after some period of time. Hope for the best..

i doubt he will be gone for long.. not many people flip over to music and stay there after being famous in movies.. they usually dont get the recognition in it

I don't think I'll miss him that much either to tell you the truth. Music is a good way to vent and if he's got "demons" as the article says, he might do well. It will be interesting to see.

whatever he changes to i hope he does well at.. im sick of seeing flip floppers that totally ruin it by doing something they arent great at.. of course i never seen walk the line so maybe he is good..
