TMZ is reporting that actor Brad Renfro has died @ 25 years of age. His body was found in his home this morning. Not many official details but after several run-ins with the law involving drugs...Young readers might not really know who he is but for a while he was supposed to be the next [insert big name here] and, more importantly, seemed to have the talent to back up the hype. His career began with a lead role in a big hit The Client (1994, opposite an Oscar-nominated Susan Sarandon). He was the young Brad Pitt in Sleepers (1996) and later held his own opposite Sir Ian McKellen in the Bryan Singer film Apt Pupil (1998). This decade has been rougher going both personally (stints in jail) and career-wise. His last memorable film year was 2001 with roles in much discussed indies Ghost World and Bully.
So so sad. I hope Lindsay Lohan is watching and staying clean.
