18Oh God i was sooo in love with him. It's so weird to see his picture as he's been gone so long and no one even cared when he died. He was in like over 20 movies but NEVER got any respect as an actor. And he was a PHENOMENAL actor. Probably one of the most underrated actors of his generation. Bully/Apt Pupil/the client/Ghost World/the cure....the list goes on. he was great and I STILL miss him as an actor even all these years later. RIP Brad. Gone but not forgotten.
BRAD WHO?
Brad who?
Who?
What a bummer that Brad Renfro died. He was cool.
didn't realize he had died. he was perfect with Sarandon in that movie, just read the book a month or so ago. That's a damned shame
that is so sad I didn't know that he died
Who is this guy? No namer!
His death was overshadowed by Heath Ledger, they didn't even show his picture in the Oscar tribute film that year. Poor guy. He caught a one way ticket on the H train and couldn't hop off.
what a shame. I just saw that movie the other day and was wondering where he went. He was very good in The Client.
i went to school wit the dude..... i was even there when he was casted for the client
all these young talented people doing all dem drugs, its not worth it
never heard of him......
I really did hate when he died..he grew up down the road from me and i used to get onto him when i would catch him smoking and i would threaten to tell "big fro" if i caught him again. He and my little brother rode around on bikes and were just best buds. I will miss the days the weather was bad and he sat in front of my tv playing video games in the early 90s before he became a big star he was little fro down the road at grandmas and attended the school down the road Lincoln Park Elementary. I will miss him!
Rest in Peace Brad. You are missed but never forgotten. You were a shining star in life and now you are an angel in Heaven. I know you are smiling and at peace.
rest in peace Brad, you are now your son's guardian angel
Wow i didnt know he died!!
Dang.. I wondered what happen to that Young Mr. Renfro.
