Amazing actor. And Matured beyond his age.

He is very underrated but he should be remembered in today's society, by many. Not only were his natural acting abilities inspiring, but the way he cared about everything.

I love him so much and words can't describe how inspiring he is to me and many other people. RIP, sweet River Jude Phoenix.
