Actor Brad Renfro found dead

It's being reported that 25 year old child star Brad Renfro was found dead early Tuesday morning. He was in The Client with Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones when he was ten. That was his first movie, I loved it and thought he was so good in it. He was also in Sleepers, Deuces Wild, and was filming Bret Easton Ellis' The Informers. I know he did have a drug problem at one time. The article I read said that the coroners office weren't aware if alcohol or drugs played a role

Not only was he beautiful, he was an incredible talent.

This generation's River Phoenix.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I think he has been in and out of trouble over the past like decade. The difference better River and Brad is that River was hitting his prime and still working a lot while Brad hasn't done much if anything recently.

Shawn you said it so well. I saw on CNN that since this past summer he has been working hard to stay clean. I just remember watching him in the Client acting with Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones, both Oscar winners and he held his own. Susan won her Oscar for this movie. This just saddens me so much, he was so talented.

Brad has two projects, one with Billy Bob Thornton that just wrapped up. He has two movies in post production. It seemed like he was getting back on track

Thats what the biggest shame is. If he were still off the wagon not bothering to try, it wouldn't be so tragic. But lately he's reported to have been on the straight and narrow and trying his hardest to get back in the game and stay sober.
