Breaking News! Brad Renfro found dead!
This is totally sad, he was such a cute kid. I remember how everyone thought he would do so many great things after appearing in The Client.
TMZ has learned actor Brad Renfro is dead.
The 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning. The cause of death has not been determined, however, Renfro has had a history of drug abuse.
Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in “The Client” and “Apt Pupil” had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession.
Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, “The Informers,” just wrapped.
Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving to from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we’re told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.

This is so incredibly sad. He is from my hometown, Knoxville, Tennessee. I know he had a lot of problems, but I thought he was working them out. I will always remember him as the cute, precocious kid in The Client. Rest in peace, Brad.

Brad was one of the few actors out there that dared to take chances. His role in Bully will never be forgotten. I guess the dude had some real demons in the closet.
