HOW UTTERLY SAD! He was such a gifted actor (what a performance he gave in his first film ever with Susan Sarandon). JUST SAD! What is up with Hollywood these days?! There are so many places to go for help, unlike when I was a teenager/young adult. Makes me want to cry.
so his body was found dead was it?
wow you deserve to be a member of mensa for that little gem.
ps:i used to adore you till you started all this shit with britney.
you need to stop posting about her.

RIP.
This is a sad story, but is becoming all too familiar in Hollywood..
He was a talented actor. This is so sad.
Sad. Reminds me of my little brothers. God, what a waste…
that's so sad. i remember him as the cute little kid in "the client." poor famous people are all effed up
this is so sad…
RIP, very sad.
That is sad enough to distract me from Britney.
first
May he RIP. What did he act in ? He looks familiar.
This is sad! He was a great actor…rest in peace Brad!!
I'm so sad about this.
damn…so young.
this is freaking tearing me up. i really loved this guy.
aww i cant believe this… i was just going thru my journals and finding lots of cut offs from magazines of him that made me want cry…He'll be missed :..(
Who was this guy?
YOU STUPID IGNORANTS CUNTS THAT DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS:
HE WAS IN "THE CLIENT" WITH SEAN PENN AND SUSAN SARANDON!!
JUST GOOGLE HIM STUPID GRINGOS!!!
dude Tom and Huck….loved it as a kid. sad.
HOLLYWOOD, HOLLYWOOD, HOLLYWOOD
so sad
This is why pot use is bad. It is the gateway drug to harder stuff for many people, especially teenagers.
#100 bitches!
This is so sad but..you know..I felt it coming..he'd been in tons of trouble before and had a few scares before with O'Ding..sad sad sad
This is very sad…I thought when I saw him on Law & Order: CI he might be having a turnaround…what an unfortunate waste of talent.
Holy Shit. This is fucked. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
It was probably drugs. He's had a history of it. Very sad.
This makes me unbelievably sad. I just watched one of his movies last night and was thinking about how good an actor he is.
So sad, really so sad.
oh my god. brad renfro was my first "celebrity crush" oh so many years ago
so very sad.
omgg…tradgedy!
He also played a young Brad Pitt in "Sleepers."
SO SAD……I AM AN OLDER GAY GUY DEAD TO GAY WORLD AND I CAN RELATE TO YOUNG GAY GOOD LOOKING GUYS DEALING TO HOW SHALLOW AND HATEFULL THE GAY WORLD IS…..WITH PEOPLE LIKE PEREZ PROVING THAT
I was completely shocked!
Then I was pissed…..Perez…..do you feel like you and others like you help cause stuff like this? Think of how horrible people like Amy, Britney and Jessica feel when people constantly bash on them. While I may not like them very much…..I do feel sorry for them that people can't just leave them alone. Maybe sometimes……drugs and alcohol seem like the easiest way to escape from all of this.
So sad. Hope he finds peace now.
Re: Butler – i can't believe how insensitive you are … it's only because you can hide behind a computer screen - you limp dicked pussy.
rip my teen heartthrob
I think its stupid that you guys post "first" on every single new post: no one cares who posted first- you look like a dumbass. It is extra sick that you play that stupid game on the post about someone passing away too. Grow up.
UGH WHY COULDNT THIS HAVE BEEN BRITNEY INSTEAD?????????????????
This is really sad news. Young guy, lots of talent but fell into the wrong kind of lifestyle. Anyway this kinda shit comes in threes so maybe just maybe Brit Brit will cover two and three.
The Law & Order CI episode was just on last week. Very sad.
Wow, thats so sad. RIP. I used to have the biggest junior high crush on him. Sleepers was prob his best work.
Wow. I'm shocked. He'd always been a favorite of mine. He was what my junior high fantasies were made of.
Re: Stupid Gringos – GOOGLE WETBACK, SPICKY!
Re: PerezSuxs –
Yeah…because the paps were all over Brad Renfro right? You moron.
WOW! I'm stunned. All you have to do to see the brillance of this kids acting is watch the movie " Apt Pupil". He held his own against Sir Ian McKellen ( Gandalf, Magneto ) Good god when is the world going to wise up and realize there is only one life. Fuck Brad, Shit I'm so angry buddy Rest In Peace please. I'll light a candle for you.
Nuff Respect
I really don't even know what to say. He was my favorite. This is horrible.
RIP Bradley Barron Renfro.
That is so sad.
Tell us where he is planTed so we can piss on his drug abuser grave!!!! Good riddance!!!!
Wow so sad! R.I.P
holy shit that was unexpected. I used to have posters of him on my wall when I was a kid. Im sad now..
so sad…i was totally in love with him when i was 11
OMG NO! I'm sure it was drugs. This is so sad.
R.I.P
x
The body was found dead? What the fuck does that mean?
Addiction is a bitch. RIP.
RIP my nigga. da client was da shit back in da day dawg. hope ya in heaven now, one love brotha, peace yo.
I was in love with him as a kid as Huck in Tom and Huck!!!
I suppose it was a H overdose…
I remember him from the movie "The Client".
Too bad. He was a good actor.
Hopefully Britney doesn't join him.
So sad.
He was a heart throb in the 90's along side Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Jonathan Brandis.
Didnt Jonathan Brandis have a drug problem and hang himself?
R.I.P.
That's so sad. He was a good actor when he was a kid. This is what happens when a young actor doesn't have the kind of support system that every kid needs. Britney should pay attention to this.
So sad I remember him from so many movies, so young…
This is so sad. I am the same age as him, 25. I grew up watching his movies and had a silly preteen crush on him. Things like this and the demise of Britney sometimes makes me think minors should not be exposed to the harsh world of Hollywood and public recognition.
I actually met Brad about 7 years ago - my dad was at Sierra Tucson, a rehab facility, and my family went out for the family week where you do joint sessions with the patient, etc. Anyway, who else was there but Brad Renfro (who, of course, was Brad R. in rehab). I do remember hearing he'd been arrested a couple of years ago while trying to steal a boat, and he was high on drugs. It's unfortunate to see that, 7 years later, the same problems were still plaguing him and that he couldn't beat this demon. My sympathies go out to his family and friends.
I went to meetings with him and he truly was a decent guy. This just shows how drugs can ruin someone's life! Everyone learn from this! It could be you next…
I can't believe he's dead. I always thought he was an amazing actor. I was rooting for him to clean up his act, I guess it was too late.
R.I.P Brad. Love You!!!
This is so sad!! Brad Renfro was unbelievable in Bully…he will be sadly missed =[
so sad. he was once a promising young actor but like so many.. got caught up in the bad tornado.. also known as Hollywood
so sad. he was once a promising young actor but like so many.. got caught up in the bad tornado.. also known as Hollywood
wow man apt pupil and bully are amongst my fav movies….I had a crush on him growing up and after finding out he was hooked on drugs I hoped and hoped hed get off it……..he will def be missed.
First of all, my prayers go out to him and his family.
Second of all, how can you people post comments like," who was he, and he was a bad actor anyways?" That is horrible. you people have no respect!!
He was a person, a son, a friend…..to many people! For god sakes just because yo dont know someone it doesnt give you the right to be so disrespectful!!!
How would you feel if someone was writing that about someone that you loved and lost!?
Last as usual to "break" the "news"
r.i.p Brad
Wow… that is so sad, I'm shocked. I totally had a crush on him when I was young, he was a total cutie in The Client, and a total hottie in Ghost World. may he rest in peace, sending you my love Brad, all the way from Norway
WOW……………… really sad………………. hope lil Brit Brit heads the warning
This is so sad. When I was little I used to have a crush on him. Even in that mugshot he looks handsome.
But he had so much promise. My thoughts go out to him and his family.
Re: JEFF – sadly nobody else but you and me noticed , goes to show what kind of retards visit this site.
this is the saddest day i've had in a long time.
i was watching sleepers last night.
he was so charismatic, and talented and a beautiful person.
a bright light has gone out.
fucking los angeles.
WHAT…OMFG…ARE YOU SERIOUS…THIS IS HORRIBLE….WOW…IM REALLY SHOCKED.
oh wow i loved him so much when i was younger. i adored him in the film about his neighbor who had aids and he befriended him and then the kid died. i cried my eyes out about that movie for days.
he was such a great actor. so sad.
really.
HE IS IN THE CLIENT MOVIE WITH SUSAN SURANDON RITE? OMG SO SAD.. =)
really really sad
he was such a cute boy
thats really upsetting
Who is this again?
the movie "Bully" was another good movie he was in. It was a based on a true story.
The movie is based on the 1993 murder of Bobby Kent in Cooper City, a suburb south of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Marty Puccio (Renfro), Alice Willis (Phillips), Lisa Connelly (Miner), and others are the real life counterparts of the characters in the film. Many of the teenagers depicted in the book and film are still serving prison sentences. The book Bully: A True Story of High School Revenge was released in 1998.
The actual co-perpetrators of the murder were convicted and sentenced as follows: (1) Heather Swallers, second-degree murder and conspiracy (seven years imprisonment); (2) Derek Dzvirko, second-degree murder and conspiracy (eleven years imprisonment); (3) Alice Willis, second-degree murder and conspiracy (forty years imprisonment); (4) Donald Semenec, second-degree murder and conspiracy (life and fifteen years imprisonment); (5) Derek Kaufman, first-degree murder and conspiracy (the jury recommended life and he was sentenced to life and thirty years imprisonment); (6) Lisa Connelly, second-degree murder and conspiracy (life and five years imprisonment, which was reversed on appeal and remanded for imposition of a guidelines sentence).
omg i cant believe it! i was in love with him when i saw him on sleepers.
this is so sad:(
So sad! I was in love with him in Sleepers as a young Brad Pitt. I thought he would accomplish so much in his life.. .this is such a tragedy.
Hey #159 Rasheed - That some bad ass language. Are you as dumb as you sound.
This is very sad. I thought he was a great actor.
RIP Brad
I had such a crush on him when I was a teenager. Its such a shame.
i got chills when i read that…i can't believe he's dead. what a talented actor…he must have been so tortured.
and yes about jonathan brandis hanging himself. such talented youth dying too soon.
and about the "britney should take note" comments - oh, please! she's untalented white fucking trash, and her death would be as tragic as anna nicole's…that is to say, it would be a good punch line to a wasteful joke of a life.
So sad. I had such a crush on him when i was little…. i hope he is in a good place now…
Such a tragedy and very sad- he was an amazing talent and will truly be missed, and his amazing work in films will keep his memory alive.
oh. my god.
Just so you know Perez, if this is some sort of homocide, I did email you a tip regarding his Wikipedia page where it stated he had died some few months ago, and it remained unchanged for a day.
I also have noticed, that Darryl Hannah his little "Fling" from like last year was pregnant in 2007? Maybe this is his kid? I researched her, and he was her last known fling.
I'll always love Brad Renfro, still have a terrible crush on him til this day or I guess used too
.v.
Sad end for a sad life of a really talented kid. Bully is a fantastic movie and he is great in it. Too bad he didn't realize his own potential and get the help he needed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________sad,,,, be carefull. R.I.P.
wow. this is so sad. My heart goes out to his family. He was an only child. I can't imagine what they must be feeling. so young, so talented. something should be learned here.
This is so sad. I had a huge crush on him back in the day too.
Also, weird I just bought and watched Ghost World yesterday.
oh shit, that's so sad. Poor thing-he was a really promising actor as a kid
