"Hailed for their acting prowess and admired for choosing meaty roles, actors such as Johnny Depp, Nicholas Cage, Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt were soon rocketing toward stardom while an unknown Leonardo DiCaprio prepared to make his acting debut. River Phoenix, however, stood in front of the pack. Blessed with natural talent and fueled by integrity, Phoenix was admired by his peers and adored by his fans."

“I remember that in the scene where he talks about how the teacher had stolen the milk money, he had to cry. It was not as good as I knew he could do, and I said to him, “River, think about somebody in your life who you looked up to and who disappointed you. You don’t have to tell me who it is, just think about it.” And the next scene he did was the take that’s in the film, where he cries like that. All his emotions came out. After we did that take, he was really shaken. He was crying, and I came up to him and I held him. He didn’t have a lot of technique — you just saw this kind of raw naturalism. You just turned the camera on, and he would tell the truth.” - Rob Reiner, “Stand By Me” director
