TMZ updates to article:

Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, "The Informers," just wrapped.

Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving to from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we're told he did not have real guidance fromadults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.

He sure did love heroin.

Here is my personal favorite Brad Renfro role. Kelli Garner, with the assist, also playing a role that she'll never be able to top in her amazinglymediocre career.

[cameron nelson]

Damn...RIP

I remember him from "Bully", as does everyone else...

Is it just me, or is Heroin making a strong comeback? I mean, it never went away, but people are doin the stuff like it's the 70's again

Eh. I like Larry Clark, but I can't give Bully my seal of approval. He used the "based on a true story" label so he could mail in a film. Arekids likes this over-sexed and violent? Of course, but obviously there is more to them than that, and I don't feel like Clark did a good job, or any job atall trying to convey that.

Kid was a good actor. Sad to see these young talents do this stuff to themselves. I really hope that they find a different way to try and deal with whateverthey have going on. Too many people are dying because of stupid reasons such as drugs. RIP to him.
