Interesting article. Thanks for posting Mystaria. :-)
One thing I disagree about is the unnamed Indie Producer claiming that young Joaquin wasn't really interested in acting and basically started to act again after River's death only to honor his memory. Also saying Joaquin probably would've become something like a Veterinarian or musician if River didn't die. Nothing wrong with that, just not very believable. River was more of a musician and to be a Veterinarian, Joaquin would've had to finish school.

Joaquin has mentioned in more than one interview that when he first started acting as a child, he remembered the buzzing feeling he got in his body when he first acted in a scene. That and his brother's encouragement got him hooked.
