Oh please! Nobody really thinks anyone (or this guy) is such a 'great talent' until they DIE! He will get a star on the Walk of Fame now that he is dead. Drug addicted losers die…thats what they DO.
And I agree with the above comment - why post a mug shot - have some damn respect !!!!
OMG! I had a big crush on him! RIP!!!
Bully was fuckin brilliant! not sure why him and Nick Stahl didn't get more attention for their brilliant work in that movie. totally unappreciated.
omg i used to be in love with him when i was like 13. so sad
It's sad that there are so many idiots on here. A person; A REAL PERSON lost their life. Just because he was in movies doesn't mean he wasn't real. Some of you people should be ashamed. I hope the boy atleast went painlessly and peacefully.
Shit! He was SO good in Ghost World as Josh. This makes me really sad. I wanted to follow his career, but sadly, it was cut short. Thanks, Josh, for all you have contributed. You will be missed. :'(
OMG! This is so sad! So many girls my age (25) were in love with him when we were teenagers. Drugs…Brad….no!!! Who remembers Huck and Fin and Sleepers????
Re: nicky – the same way you just did dumbass lol!
No NO NO!!!!!! NO more losses of wonderful actors!!! He was so young and he was a fav of mine. I am so saddened by this news… so so sad.
OMG, This is so fucking sad. What a cutie he was. If my kids EVER say they want to be a movie star, I would flip the fuck out. It's just not worth it. This is just truly heart breaking.
Who? Oddly enough I don't seem to care about this piece of white trash either.
Re: Nicky – WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?? YOU'RE A FUCKING INSENSITIVE FUCKNUT!!!!
thats so sad he was so incredible in apt pupil and ghost world. damn this sucks, rip brad renfro, on of my first crushes
aww thats so sad i just saw him in bully but he totally didn't want to be in acting u can just tell and he didn't do many roles so u could tell he had a problem RIP
aww thats so sad i just saw him in bully but he totally didn't want to be in acting u can just tell and he didn't do many roles so u could tell he had a problem RIP
awwwwwwww
Wow … this is surely a tragedy and Brad will be in my prayers. I am 25 also and grew up watching his movies, pasting pics of him from tiger beat and sweet 16 on my wall, and dreaming about marrying him one day. He was such a gifted young actor - so passionate on screen. He will be missed.
PS. What is wrong with these young actors? Someone needs to do an intervention? IS ANYONE IN HOLLYWOOD LISTENING? DRUGS ARE NOT THE ANSWER!
that sucks, he was a pretty good actor. Loved him in Bully
I am not surprised. He's been a fuck up since he was like 11. I knew it was coming. I'm surprised he lasted this long. Now everyone's going to try to turn him into some martyr just like they do with all beautiful men that die young. Thtat is so annoying. The guy was a fuck up he brought it on himself. I'm sad when anyone throws away their life like that but I'm not surprised at all.
So horrible, I loved him in Bully! Very haunting movie, go see it.
Brad was the same age as me. In middle school, my best friend and I used to watch The Cure, Tom & Huck, and Sleepers over and over again because we loved Brad so much. This is horribly sad.
That's all I can say….
You self-righteous Christians better quit throwing out the Jesus card! Thank you.
oh my god im crying!!! i loved him! he was an incredible actor..!! I think he looked like Ben Affleck!! wow.. life's so short!
omg!!! nooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had a big crush on him when i was in primary school!!
This is devastating. I loved him as an actor. What a sad day this is : (
Brad, you will be missed. I know you are now free of your troubles and addictions. Rest in peace and God bless.
Sooooo sad. Only 25. Last time I saw Brad he was snorting massive amounts of cocaine with my boyfriend at the time and I knew that I had a bad feeling about this one
He was always the "cool" party guy , funny and all, but now we see that sometimes everything may look happy on the surface but deep down , drugs are ultimately EVIL. Hopefully my boyfriend at the time has since quit his bad habits ….
This doesn't suprise me , as sick as it sounds, but he always has had a problem and obviously never did anything about it.
)))))
Let's all learn something from this.——> SMOKE REEFER INSTEAD!

It's sad to see people die so young because of their own habits (ex. drugs). He must have really been struggling. RIP Brad and my condolences to his loved ones.
Re: cindalish – APT PUPIL, THE CLIENT , BULLY , are my FAVORITE MOVIES of him and there are others I haven't seen
I'm so shock but then I know and heard he has been having major drug problems
wow it's like RIVER PHOENIX all over again
this is really unfortunate
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! He was such a good actor! I was waiting for his comeback! So sad!
he was beyyoooooond brilliant in SLEEPERS, that is fucking sad, what a sad loss of talent, RIP HUCK
Re: Butler – BAD ACTOR OR NOT HE WAS A HUMAN BEING
YOU FUCKING HEARTLESS PIECE OF SHIT
You play, you might have to pay whoever you are R.I.P.
OMG! I love him! He was such an amazing talent. It's just really too bad things like this have to happen. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Re: Brian Bonsall – I HOPE YOU DIE NEXT
Re: tonia –
So sad!
really really sad!
awwwwww…that sucks
wow, I deff remember him in Tom and Huck with JTT! He was never a huge actor but I remember him being in all the magazines when I was young like Teen Beat and Tiger Beat, and BOP, I am sure I had some of his pin ups on my wall. Soo soo sad.
Re: scott – ALTHOUGH THE OTHER DAY I HAD A DREAM BEYONCE DIED , I DON'T WANT HER TO DIE OR CLITNEY OR EVEN ANYONE
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE FUN AND LIVE A LITTLE LONGER BEFORE DYING
That was a very callous thing to say. May you get all you deserve in life.
RIP
he was great in "Ghost World"
omg, what a shock.
he was struggling with drugs, what a waste.
I loved him in THE CLIENT he was so cute and he was a pretty good actor
REST IN PEACE BRAD RENFRO
RIP, so sad. He was in that movie Bully, right?
They say things happen in 3s. Hoepfully
not though.
He was one of my favorite actors! The movie I watched over and over again when I was little was a film of his, Tom and Huck. Its sad when things like this happen.
well fuck. that's really awful. i spent a good portion of my childhood wanting to marry him.
i remeber him from "the cure (1995)" such a great actor ..so sad
OMG. Im so heartbroken. I loved him. That hurts so much
Ohhhhhh no! I used to collect all the Tiger Beats and stuff with him in it. This is sad
Re: Hal R Hosfeld – HOW COME PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE STILL ALIVE ???
AND LIVES LONGER MORE THAN GOOD PEOPLE
I HOPE THAT CHANGE SOON I WANT ASSHOLES TO DIE SOONER AND GOOD PEOPLE TO LIVE LONGER
omigosh! that is sooo sad, he was a very great actor in drama roles
herion causes more "instant deaths",,,,,,,,,, than any drug out there, this is not a brit brit story,,,,,,,,, this is real & sad,,,,, it took me from 27-31 to completely get off meth,,,, i'm 33 now, my heart goes out to the pain, he suffered here on earth,,,,,,,,,, life is a gift people, you don't need drugs!!!
Re: i hate fat homo perez – YOU ARE ONE IGNORANT DOUCHE BAG
AND PEREZ ROCKS!!!!!! AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT A CUNT BUT YOUR WHORE MOTHER IS DEFINITELY A CUNT
That sux!!
For those of you with zero respect, bite your tongue!
And for those who don't know who Brad Renfro is, he was in:
The Client
Sleepers
Apt Pupil
Tom & Huck
etc.
This is THE saddest news that I've heard in a while.
I seriously have had a huge teeny bopper love crush on Brad Renfro since I was a young girl.
He was such a talented actor, and I was really rooting for him to have a comeback…
Re: i hate fat homo perez – This is unbelievable. We're talking about a young man's death and you're talking about how you hate Perez, using words that I wish never to have to repeat? Either this is some kind of weird joke or you need to seriously pull your head in and respect others. Even Perez does that!
omgosh so sad, really good actor
r.i.p
Omg.. I was lookin at that R.I.P heading for 5 minutes just in disbelief!! I had no idea it would hit me so hard, he was my first crush. As soon as I saw him in Tom & Huck, it felt like love at first sight for a 10 year old and I have had a secret crush on him ever since… this is such sad news I cant believe it.
rest in peace Brad!
Re: Butler – Wow Butler - ur a really shitty human being you know that? You may not have liked his acting but he was a real person you jackass.
i loved him growing up. i watched the cure a million times. so sad. rest in peace.
great kid,R.I.P.,great actor,great,great person,drugs suck.much love.
Re: Zzzz – WHY DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR USELESS OPINION IS IMPORTANT ??????? YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER HEARTLESS PIECE OF SHIT
SHUT YOUR CUM HOLE IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE THINGS TO SAY
THANK YOU
OMG…that is so SO sad.
I used to have such a crush! Im in shock and so sad for his family!
OMG…that is so SO sad.
I used to have such a crush! Im in shock and so sad for his family!
Didn't someone see him at school and make him a star? Hollywood corrupts! So sad.
Re: CaptainRockit! –
he wasn't in the second terminator movie…that was edward furlong
This is horrible.. I always loved him since I was a little kid. He was amazing in Bully and Apt Pupil, 2 of my absolute fav movies,
Good Bye Cuttie Pie !
FUCK
i liked that guy
I am really sad about this! He was a talented actor! And so young!
Re: nicky – AND SOMEDAY SOMEONE SHE LOVES WILL DIE AND THEN
ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE WILL REALIZE THAT SHE DOES HAVE A HEART…AND NOW IT'S BROKEN , AND THEN SHE WILL BE SO SAD AND DEPRESSED THAT SHE WILL JUST END HER OWN LIFE … NOW THAT IS PRETTY TRAGIC
REST IN PEACE BRAD RENFRO
AND MY CONDOLENCE TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS
uh wow! i was just viewing his imdb the other day, wondering how he was going. so sad and most definitely not right.. well wishes to his family. rest in peace
Good riddance junkie dork. That's what you get for throwing away a perfectly good career in the movie business for heroin addiction.
Who? Does anyone honestly know who this is? Nah…Didn't think so.
If you want to see the BEST movie Brad made (and cry for hours) rent "The Cure". I've watched it at least 20 tmes. now i'll never be able to watch it again. Loved you Brad. RIP
this is horrible. RIP. haven't seen any of his movies beside tom and huck, but i definitely know who he is. So young…thats such a tragedy. People seriously need to grow up on these comments. It's so disrespectful. No one deserves death, not even Britney Spears.
omg i cannot believe this…that is sooooo sad…i use to have a crush on him back in the days….when he was on those teeny bopper magz…damn…
Re: Giorgina Angela – can you believe some people here ? (well if you can call them people ) don't know how to respect at all and I agree Perez does know how to respect even if he can be really vulgar sometimes and this is why I love Perez
he is real and he rocks !!!!!
Perez Rules!!!!!!!!
My middle school love, he and JTT were my LIFE. Tom and Huck? Such a tragedy. He was such a talent.
Brad was my favorite ever…i loved him growing up..
RIP
I'm shocked, but not really. I'm just sorry he could not clean up and get back to acting.
…
I am from Knoxville,TN and am 26 so we had a few things in common,but the news has spred fast around here and everyone was always behind him 110% that he did rather good or bad,his fmaily and loved ones are in out prayers here in Knoxville
Re: Dean Adrian –
Your an ASSHOLE Dean!!!! I can't wait till you die so I can squeeze out a big piece of shit on your stupid ass. Hopefully soon fuck face!! Or maybe your mother if she's already kicked it. How dare you disrespect the dead. Don't worry what comes around goes around and you'll get yours fatass!
Re: UKer – NOBODY HERE WANTS YOUR BLOODY ASS EITHER , WHY DON'T YOU STOP POSTING ALREADY, DON'T YOU HAVE CELEBRITIES WHERE YOU LIVE?
JUST PAY ATTENTION TO THEM WOULD YOU AND LEAVE US ALONE HERE AND PEREZ
AND NO PEREZ MUST NOT STOP POSTING ABOUT CLITNEY , ARE YOU KIDDING ?
SHE IS THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT THAT KEEPS GIVING
YOU ARE SUCH DUMB ASS !!!!!
PEREZ ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
i love him in the client. i had such a crush on him
I don't think you're supposed to say "his body was found dead." that doesn't make sense.
Re: Butler – and someday someone close to this JACKASS will die and he will be heart broken and realize that it is truly sad when someone lost their love ones and he will change and try to be a good person otherwise he will ramin a PIECE OF SHIT DOUCHE BAG THAT HE IS
" THE CURE"
Rent it NOW if you havent seen it, if you have then you know what im talking about when i say you will laugh….you will cry more, but you will certainly honor the life of this young talented actor that sadly left us so soon.
Rest in peace brad, you will be missed.
OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. HE WAS MY NUMBER 1. I WAS/AM OBSESSED WITH HIM. I CANT BELIEVE THIS. WHY????
I WAS JUST WATCHING BULLY THE OTHER NIGHT WITH MY GF. HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
RIP BRAD. WOW.
i looooooooooooooove him
Being from knoxville tn too, it always makes me happy to hear someone made it out of this town and done something with their life…… i'm wish brad could have over come his demons and continued his acting career, because he had amazing talent…. my heart is heavy tonight….GODSPEED Brad. you will be missed.
Re: Dean Adrian – AND SOMEDAY HE WILL DIE TOO AND THEN I WILL PERSONALLY DIG HIS DECAYING BODY AND SERVED IT TO HIS FAMILT WHO DIDN'T TEACH HIM TO RESPECT ANYONE EVEN THE DEPARTED ONES
The body of x was found dead….. What was that? Que pasa? Que pasa?
So, so sad. He was amazing in Bully. 25 is too young to go…
