Brad Renfro dead at 25

Brad Renfro, 25, former child star, was found dead Tuesday morning.

I suspect a drug OD. Sad.

as noted privately in public chat, I am not familiar with any of his work... and you most ilkely are correct...

part of me is one hard-ass bitch in situations like this. the boy knew what he was doing, he saw destruction all around him when he went to drug houses. he had to see it in himself - had to. go ahead and kill yourself if that's the best thing you can think of doing.

the rest of me aches for the soul that is lost. who loved him and helped him grow up? anyone? who put him in front of a camera as a child? who wanted the money he made?

there is too long a line of people just like him, praised and glorified, eaten up, spit out, left for dead.

I happen to agree with the hard-ass bitch part of you. He is not some 5 year old who does not understand the concept of what is going on. So I guess that makes me a hard-ass bitch also.

Never heard of him. It's a very sad thing, though.

he was in Tom and Huck with Jonathan Taylor Thomas!!

or that's the only thing I remember him from.

That's too bad. so many issues with drugs these days. it's sad.

i heard of that movie, ad possibily have seen small parts of it... like 18 min worth... however, even after checking the link, I am not able to determine who he is...

Never saw that movie.

I was at the age that I had a crush on BOTH of them when it came out.
