River Phoenix was an american actor, musician, and activist born in 1970. He impacted many lives during his time and always advocated for what was right. Phoenix lived a vegan lifestyle and was a huge environmentalist. Phoenix starred in many films including Stand by me, My Own Private Idaho, A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon, etc. Phoenix had natural talent. He showed that it was okay to be emotional and sensitive, on and off screen. Phoenix also believed we are here to protect animals, not eat or abuse them. Many people, including myself believe he should have a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.
