He was eerily convincing as Cash. I think he'll do well in the music business. Liked him in We Own the Night.

Damn, Joaquin! Why retire from acting now?! But hey, if this is what he wants, then who are we to stop him? However, he was great in Walk the Line, We Own the Night, and Ladder 49!

If he hangs it up, that will be a very short career for such a talented actor.

WOW. Walk The Line was great and yes he did an awesome job singing and performing in that movie as did Reece Witherspoon.

Haven’t other actors figured out a way to do both? Like Bruce Willis & Kevin Bacon. Maybe he could try doing music for a period of time, then act, then music…

This is horrible news and one of my "closer" lady friends always gets really worked up when we see his movies and usually takes it out on me afterwards.

I owe Mr. Phoenix many a happy evening.

Terrible to hear - Excellent actor. Not sure music is the best choice for him? But hey - do what you want to do man!
