      Brian Collins Sigh... if you knew anything about the guy you’d know he suffers from severe anxiety which is why he is so convincing in mind losing roles... I don’t think that aspect is acting, it’s how he really is. Listen to his acting techniques from interviews, his performances are more about being present in the moment than anything else. His anxieties elevate his conflict more than anything else which is why he gravitated toward “losing mind” roles more. It’s because he’s already a little coo coo in the head. So if anything he’s acting very little outside of his own persona. The best actors are themselves in the present moment making you THINK they’re “acting” when they’re just being themselves. Joaquin Phoenix literally sounds like Joaquin Phoenix in EVERY SINGLE ROLE and yet no one noticed. 🤣

    Joaquin Phoenix always delivers. In recent times he was fabulous in IRRATIONAL MAN. Losing River so young was devastating to cinema. However, Joaquin demonstrated his great gift in his early teens and then blasted off with TO DIE FOR. We have been blessed by the younger Phoenix brother’s acting powers. He’s been underrated but is an acting heavyweight now that JOKER has been released. He may be the most brilliant American actor working in films today.
