Oh wow. I can't believe it. :( May he RIP.
I've always liked him. He stars in one of my favorite movies, "The Cure."

Have no idea who that guy is.

that's sad, I remember hearing about him having troubles a few years back but figured he'd gotten better by now.

Never seen those movies.

Totally shocking. I liked him in Ghost World and The Cure.

Never seen those movies.
you never saw Sleepers? I thought you loved Brad Pitt, lol. Or am I confusing you with someone else?

Oh gosh! so young! R.I.P :(

Wow, I remember seeing him in "Tom and Huck" with Jonathan Taylor Thomas. He was talented and way to young :( RIP.

No sweetie, you got me mixed up with someone else.


I just read more information on this actor and I read that he had some sort of drug problem before. Was he still a drug user or had he kicked that problem? I also read abt him having been found on skid row or arrested on skid row...:eek: So sad. I hate drugs with a passion and I was once told by a friend that it is the devil's way of being in control. I am beginning to believe her.

:rip:

Have no idea who that guy is.

rest in peace

How tragic; I loved him in The Client :(

How terribly sad. So young, with his whole life ahead of him. He doesn't look familiar to me, and I don't recall seeing his work, although I've heard his name many times. I just know that his loved ones are devastated. Prayers to Brad Renfro and the broken hearts left behind.

:rip:

How tragic a waste of a good life.

How very terrible... I guess like River Phoenix, he was just destined to die at a far-too-young age... :(

Oh man, that is so sad. :( I didn't really watch any of his work, altho I did see "Tom and Huck." Jonathan Taylor Thomas was in that movie too, and I had a HUGE crush on him at the time it came out. I'm very familiar with him, tho - I read all the teenybopper magazines when he was still a big name, back in the mid-90s.

I saw him in Sleepers movie with Brad Pitt, Jason Patric, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Deniro, Kevin Bacon. That's a good movie. What a shame he died young. I read a article about his death. I was thinking about seeing The Client movie. Is it any good?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Brad Renfro, a former child star in films such as "The Client" and "Tom and Huck," died of an accidental overdose of heroin, the Los Angeles coroner's office said in a report on Friday.

Renfro, who was known to have battled drug abuse, was found dead in his Los Angeles home on January 15. He was 25.

No foul play was suspected, the coroner's office spokesman said.

The Tennessee native earned his first leading role in a major movie at age 12 in 1994 legal thriller "The Client," starring Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. He subsequently played the role of Huck Finn in "Tom and Huck" based on the popular characters by author Mark Twain.

While he worked on TV and in movies throughout recent years, his life and career were marked more by drug and legal problems than Hollywood roles. As a teenager he was arrested on drug charges in Tennessee and for stealing in Florida.

In 2005, he was arrested for trying to buy heroin during a Los Angeles police sting operation in an area known for buying and selling drugs. He pleaded guilty in February 2006, was ordered into a drug treatment program, and placed on three years probation.
