Brad Renfro died

Recommended Posts

LOS ANGELES - Brad Renfro, the young actor whose film career began at age 12 with "The Client" before dissolving as he struggled with drug and alcohol problems, has died. He was 25. His body was found in his Los Angeles home early Tuesday, his lawyer Richard Kaplan said. The cause of death was not immediately known.

 

Renfro served 10 days in jail in May 2006 after pleading no contest to driving while intoxicated and pleading guilty to attempted possession of heroin.

 

He starred opposite Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones in "The Client." His other credits include "Ghost World" and "The Jacket."

Bully is the only movie from Larry Clark that I can watch regularly, mostly because it is very well acted. Renfro was great in that movie. He was great in the otherwise mediocre Apt Pupil and Ghost World (which I never did like much).

 

Shame really, I always thought he was underrated. RIP.

Fixed.

 

I thought Feldman's been clean and sober for a long time now? Isn't it Haim that's still a fuck up?

6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon: Kevin Bacon fucks him in a cellar.

Wait, what? :huh: :huh:

 

First movie I saw him in was Tom and Huck... but his most memorable, in my opinion, is Apt Pupil. Really sucky news. RIP.

We don't see it, but in the movie "Sleepers", he was Brad Pitt's character as a child.

so this is why he was on google trends.

 

Twenty-five? I remember seeing a pic of him on the internet recently and he looked 10 years older than that. He must have been doing some really hard drugs.

I thought Bully sucked, but now I can't remember why.

 

I do remember I hated his crying in that movie, with all the drooling and shit.

You can actually tell the two of them apart?

I didn't like that either.

 

The thing I liked about it was that the whole movie just felt dirty. From being semi-pornographic, to everyone looking like they have a perpetual sheen of sweat on them. You can practically feel the humidity. That actually happened not far from where I grew up, as a kid not unlike those in the movie, and that feeling really resonated.

Shame he dies young, but I can't feel bad for someone that put their body through so much shit, drug-wise, and then dies probably as a result from all those drugs. If he had been murdered then that's one thing, but he brought this upon himself. If he was trying to get clean, good, but he already did so much shit it didn't matter.

I'd say his most memorable performance was playing that little shit in The Client... But Apt Pupil was pretty good.

Bully is one of my favorite movies.

 

I liked the guy. This sucks but is not surprising.

Mine too. Nick Stahl did steal the show though.

Bully>Gummo>Kids

 

That's utilizing the Harmony Korine link. You know, I've still never gotten around to watching Julien Donkey Boy.

 

I also agree that Nick Stahl was the standout in Bully.
