His first same-sex sex scene was with Tanner Hayes in the video, 1st Time Tryers #9, released by All Worlds Video in 1998. For the next several years, Phoenix appeared in two dozen videos. He retired from the adult film industry in late 2000. In 2004, Phoenix was coaxed out of retirement when John Rutherford of Colt Studio presented Phoenix with the Jerry Douglas script for Buckleroos.
Phoenix's role in Buckleroos marked the first time he bottomed on film. The role garnered him awards for "Best Actor" and "Best Sex Scene" at the 2005 GayVN Awards.
He continues to be active in the gay porn industry, recently performing the lead role in the Jet Set Men movie, "ON FIRE!", and subsequent appearances for the Jet Set Men website, exclusive web scenes-known as Jet Set Straight Edge-where most notably he bottoms for Hayden Stephens, for only the second time on film.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
