Brad Renfro 7-25-1982 - 1-15-2008.



Los Angeles - Actor Brad Renfro, whose career began promisingly with a childhood role in "The Client" but rapidly faded as he struggled with drugs and alcohol, was found dead Tuesday in his home. He was 25.


What a shame. These are four of his movies I’ve seen. I liked them all. Very much. All are a little different.

I was saddened by the news. The Client came out the year my son was born; in my mind's eye, Brad Renfro is still the little boy in the movie.

What a shame. 25 is far too young to die in such a needless way.

Hi Johnny. Me too. He made some good movies.

Hi toccata. In the course of a few days, we have another one gone. Total waste.
