  • MattnJax, on 01/16/2008, -7/+25The article says cause of death isn't known yet, but I'm gonna go ahead and guess it was herion related. Just a hunch. Also this guy was in the movie "Bully" for anyone that's scene it. But anyway R.I.P.
    • adamrgolf, on 01/16/2008, -17/+17I didn't scee it.
      • nospinhere, on 01/16/2008, -5/+1PEOPLE, DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN BECOME HOLLYWOOD ACTORS!!!!

        Very few people can handle reaching the pinnacle of their life at age 10.
        • Chompy, on 01/16/2008, -0/+4No, the problem is that very few stage parents can handle not using their children like cash registers instead of allowing them to grow up normally and be kids.

    • fate3, on 01/16/2008, -0/+9Bully was one of my favorite movies, this is very sad
    • disabled4diggin, on 01/16/2008, -8/+1I saw the picture and I was shocked. The guy from Hackers is dead?!?! Crash Override can never die!
    • Branyers, on 01/16/2008, -1/+4Quite a prolific film career. No blockbusters though, ergo no Digg accolades but plenty of ignorant comments.

      • funkytaco, on 01/16/2008, -1/+3Speaking of ignorant and not to forget better-than, the first two movies are still filming and in production. Ass. Who ever said we had to be subject matter experts on every Digg post we made? The spaghetti monster?
  • keppj0nes, on 01/16/2008, -3/+16He was great in Ghost World. Too bad he had to be so young
    • zeiben, on 01/16/2008, -0/+3Agreed, an older actor would have definitely been more appropriate in Ghost World
      ...what? too soon?
      • DangerMouse9, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0No, but saying an actor that was more alive in The Informers or Joe the Engineer might be. :)
    • cJeremy, on 01/18/2008, -0/+1ghost world rules......
  • sweetblondie, on 01/16/2008, -4/+19How disappointing. He was a great young actor. Yes, he was good in "Bully".
  • vault, on 01/16/2008, -5/+8Rest in peace.

  • seinfeldking, on 01/16/2008, -23/+41who?
  • JimmySpaza, on 01/16/2008, -23/+9Too much money + too much fame + too much alcohol and drugs + no real friends to say STOP + living for personal pleasure = disaster and death.

    How many Hollywood types will have to die before they realize that this life is not about having fun, seeking pleasure, and doing whatever you want to do without any moral compass whatsoever?
    • davewashere, on 01/16/2008, -1/+5Four?
      • noahhoward, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Nah we're well past that already.
    • BoneheadFarker, on 01/16/2008, -4/+3Moral compass??? What the hell are you talking about? Morals have nothing to do with this. It's the whole idea of "slow down and enjoy life, and don't take so many ***** drugs that you ***** everything up and kill yourself" that's really involved here. There are plenty of people in Hollywood that like to have fun, but you don't here them in the news over some DUI and coke charge...unless they've been out of the spotlight for a little while and want to make a splash, but that's a totally different situation...
    • LesterKing, on 01/16/2008, -5/+7You are such a douchebag, Jimmy
    • rayraym0fucka, on 01/16/2008, -3/+3I think that is exactly what life is supposed to be like when you are young, rich and famous. I know I'd be going completely ape ***** and die early.

      (maybe not)
      • DangerMouse9, on 01/16/2008, -1/+0You could skip all that and kill yourself right now.
    • promixr, on 01/16/2008, -1/+2Acting is like any other profession. Drugs and alcohol affect factory workers- why are people surprised when an actor succumbs to drugs and alcohol?
      • roomforpanic, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Perhaps because it is so widely publicized when an actor is caught up in drug and alcohol abuse. I doubt we'd ever see a 'Factory Worker Found Dead at 25' article on Digg. Not to mention, I don't think CNN, FOX, or MSNBC would spend two weeks covering the early death of Lulu from the diner like they did Anna Nicole.

        People tend to connect with actors they see on screen and feel that, however superficially, they know the actor in some way. Thus, it's always of interest when someone you know dies or experiences something tragic.
    • asdfrewq, on 01/16/2008, -2/+2What exactly then is life about, if not fun and pleasure? Obviously this guy lived too much too soon, but given your comments I'd wager he lived far more in his 25 years then you will in your entire lifetime.

      Additionally you seem to make the assumption that all drug users are without moral compass. I see no reason to believe this person has done any wrong to anyone. This may blow your mind, but not all drug users are bad people. In fact, most drug users would fall into the category of those looking for just another means to escape the dullness of everyday life, much the same way as millions watch television/movies, listen to music, or read books.
      • logosx1, on 01/16/2008, -1/+2What is life about, if not fun and pleasure? Nothing I guess, if you're an animal. If you're a man, however, you have a purpose higher than yourself for existing.
        • BoneheadFarker, on 01/16/2008, -2/+0And that purpose would be...
          • BoneheadFarker, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0Getting buried, yet no one has answered the question. Odd...
    • actorboy, on 01/16/2008, -3/+1Young people of all classes die from drug overdoses and/or alcohol poisoning. It has a lot to more do with lack of maturity and no strong family guidance than it does Hollywood.
    • smackhero, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2what exactly is inherently immoral about using drugs aside from religious fundamentalists' abhorrence of any kind of fun/human pleasure? i'd say that 90% of human beings on earth use psychoactive drugs regularly--that includes alcohol and caffeine--and most are still able to function fine and lead rich & healthy lives.

      when someone OD's on drugs or struggles with drug addiction, it should be viewed as a tragedy, not an excuse to start moralizing about their lifestyle or how degenerate they were to have fell victim to drug overdose.
      • roomforpanic, on 01/16/2008, -1/+1While I don't think this is the time to start preaching about morals, there does need to be a distinction between using caffeine or alcohol and the wholesale abuse of harmful drugs. An overdose is tragic, but the person wasn't a victim. You don't "fall victim" to drug overdose (in most cases), you choose to abuse drugs.
      • mstoneburner, on 01/16/2008, -1/+1Well, heroin is a highly addictive drug that is also very dangerous and that can prompt one to commit criminal acts to fund one's habit. I don't know about you but I certain regard taking an illegal and dangerous drug that might kill me and might make me steal as being immoral.
        • BoneheadFarker, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0Taking drugs is not immoral. Stealing, cheating, violence...these may be immoral. But simply taking drugs, even heroin, is not immoral. Even Jesus advocated drug and alcohol use, should it help someone with their suffering...
          • AmusedToDeath, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1"Even Jesus advocated drug and alcohol use, should it help someone with their suffering..." WHAT? You must be reading a very different bible than I am.
          • BoneheadFarker, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1@AmusedToDeath

            The Bible is full of referrences to Jesus drinking wine, and that he certainly liked drinking wine. But specifically: Proverbs 31:6...
  • georgemason01, on 01/16/2008, -2/+25Now we'll never know where Senator Boyd Boyette's body is.
  • xdvx, on 01/16/2008, -21/+2Another Kurt Cobain story?
    • JudgeMonkey, on 01/16/2008, -3/+5No, because a lot more people knew who Kurt Cobain was.
    • creep303, on 01/16/2008, -2/+4This guy would have to of done something that left an impact in his profession, much like Cobain. Alas, he did not.
      • xdvx, on 01/16/2008, -12/+4So why the ***** his death story is on digg? Just another junkie died
        • creep303, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Hey pal, don't shoot the messenger!
  • cardyology, on 01/16/2008, -16/+15Why are people saying "who is he?"?

    Have you not seen The Client? Sleepers? Ghost World?

    Great films. I am saddened by this news because I actually really liked him.
    • jstem1994, on 01/16/2008, -6/+7No, no and no. Sorry.
    • generalzod1, on 01/16/2008, -10/+1he's dead and gone. all thats left is corpse
    • yojiffyskippy, on 01/16/2008, -6/+3Yes (but don't remember his character), No, and No. Even if these were "Great films" (but they weren't), he's still a relatively unknown face in a sea of actors. Not to minimize his death (I'm sure somebody loved him) but this isn't news for the masses.
    • appletoapple, on 01/17/2008, -0/+2I agree Sleepers is a great movie.
  • orlyfactor, on 01/16/2008, -30/+46Z-list druggy celeb dies...*yawn* - what's for breakfast?
    • noahhoward, on 01/16/2008, -3/+8Bacon?
    • yojiffyskippy, on 01/16/2008, -0/+21Kevin Bacon was in Telling Lies in America (1997) with Brad Renfro
      • squishee, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1They were also both in Sleepers.
        • DangerMouse9, on 01/16/2008, -1/+0And now one of them is dead. Coincidence? I think not.
    • tuxracer, on 01/16/2008, -4/+7What the ***** is wrong with you? Someone lost their life. Why don't you show a little respect for that. "z-list"? What movies have you starred in? Does that mean we should just spit on your grave when you die?

      I don't like the over-the-top, Anna Nicole Smith-style coverage of a celebrity death, but at least show a little humanity.
      • lostmongoose, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2So you're gonna tell me this person's death is more important than the other 100,000+ who will die today that are younger than he is for things they have no control over? Are you gonna write an article for each one of them and submit all of them to digg? stfu. He's another drugged up 'celebrity' who died from an overdose.
        • metalhead87, on 01/17/2008, -1/+1Don't think anyone said anything about his death being any more important than any other, but either way there is no reason to act like an ass when someone dies. You can't control what gets reported as "news," but you can, at least, choose to respond with decency to what is reported. If you don't care in anyway about it, then simply don't post. There is no reason to post insensitive crap.
  • sykotik, on 01/16/2008, -5/+29Never heard of 'em.
    RIP though.
  • bioskope, on 01/16/2008, -4/+4I thought he did alright in "Sleepers" as well. Pity these celebrities have such dark lifestyles.
    • davewashere, on 01/16/2008, -1/+3Great movie to know for Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Multiple A-listers and even more B-listers. You can avoid watching any other Bacon movie and still do well if you just know Sleepers.
  • DesertDude, on 01/16/2008, -19/+4First Darwin Award of '08? I think you become an instant candidate (or winner) of this award if you voluntarily, consciously and consistently use drugs, alcohol and smoking and die because of that.
    • CTK14A, on 01/16/2008, -6/+4Please go find some heroin and shoot up. Then we'll talk about conscious decisions.
      • AmusedToDeath, on 01/16/2008, -2/+1See, smart people make a conscious decision NOT to to shoot up in the first place. NEWSFLASH: Bad choices can have severe consequences. That doesn't make it any less your fault.
        • ordig, on 01/16/2008, -2/+1no. pussys make a conscious decision not to shoot up in the first place. smart people will try anything once.
          • DangerMouse9, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0You should try playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded automatic weapon to show us how smart you are.

            Or mix some arsenic with your hemlock float.

    • vault, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Who the hell dugg him down for saying that Brad's death is tragic? Dying at 25 is tragic, and he was good in everything he was in.
  • zardoz73, on 01/16/2008, -1/+38Whenever a young actor dies, it always takes me back to River Phoenix. Not to dismiss Brad Renfro, but Phoenix would be an A-lister at this point had he lived.
    • cawpin, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6Absolutely. That's the one that I always think of too. It's probably because I watched Stand By Me hundreds of times when I was younger.
  • binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -12/+4He was so hot! What a loss.
  • Icupnimpn2, on 01/16/2008, -2/+10On two separate occasions earlier this week, the name "Brad Renfro" had popped into my head. I know I've heard his name before, but I've never actually seen him in a movie. I've always thought he had a stupid name, so I just pushed the thought aside. Now I find out that he's just died. So, I manage to go for years without thinking of the guy, but a few days before he dies I think of him twice. Life is strange sometimes.
    • aresef, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6You're like a mental Death Note. Scary.

  • brogrimm, on 01/16/2008, -15/+6Who? And why is this newsworthy? Another Hollywood screwed-up actor/actress goes awry. Sorry but no sympathy here.
    • lhbaker, on 01/16/2008, -1/+14As if your death will be noticed.
      • Pixelante, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0It will since he will throw himself off a bridge and end up splattered on the highway below, slowing traffic for hours.
    • cawpin, on 01/16/2008, -1/+2Well, he happened to be one of the few that was screwed up and was worth saving.
      • gpageau, on 01/16/2008, -2/+4Why was he "worth saving" more than anyone else? Because he could play "pretend" better than other people? Please.
    • StrangeFamous, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2No one's asking for your sympathy.

    My friend's cousin died last Thursday. Equally as unknown.

    I should make a digg story for her.
    • cr1t, on 01/16/2008, -5/+1As long as you put actor in front her name I'm sure you can make front page.
      Now has anybody got them in your Celebrity death list?
    • rayraym0fucka, on 01/16/2008, -5/+1the point is, it's news - not a ***** memorial service.
      • theodenking, on 01/16/2008, -6/+1A junkie dying is news?
        • StrangeFamous, on 01/16/2008, -0/+3Anyone dying is "news". "News" is anything that has happened recently that hasn't been shared with the public.

          I think that Death is worthy enough of a thing to warrant a news story.

          Whether people digg or bury the story is up to the Digg community. If you have a problem with it, then point the finger at them, not at the idea of reporting a death.
    • catalysis, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6He was a pretty accomplished actor. Some people deserve a mention for the things they have done. Don't be jealous or bitter just because it's not you or your friend's cousin. You act like everything is pointless unless it is about you.
  • mjfitzge, on 01/16/2008, -0/+12he was also the pupil in apt pupil. that's what i remember him best for. and i also i remember girls in high school thinking he was hot since he was our age.
    • bffoley, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Ohhhhhhh, now I remember him. I liked that movie

  • CTK14A, on 01/16/2008, -0/+10TMZ and the tabloids make me sick to my stomach. Here's a recent quote from 'The Superficial' about this poor guy:

    "Oh how the mighty have fallen. Almost child acting star Brad Renfro was arrested Wednesday on Skid Row for trying to score heroin from an undercover officer. Nice move, Brad. Glad to see you've set a new standard for the Hollywood downward spiral. Before it was enough just to be molested by Michael Jackson and turn into a pothead with the occasional role on The Surreal Life. But now the pinnacle is having a picture of your arrest snapped by the L.A. Times, looking vaguely like Buffalo Bill in 'Silence of the Lambs.' "

    • MetalLizard, on 01/16/2008, -1/+5That's why whenever I end a conversation I say, I love you. To everyone, anywhere, at anytime. Saying mean things will make me feel bad once they die.

      • Ummagumma, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1Hey, I'll give "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Dead Zone" their due as great adaptations any day. But Apt with David Schwimmer's ridiculous mustache and Todd Bowden's "crushing a bird with basketball dribbles to show he's off his rocker" scene is no Shawshank.
  • Wartyboskfapped, on 01/16/2008, -4/+4Child stars always end up as SUPREMELY ***** up adults. Have you noticed? I can't think of a single example who didn't either go thru hellish drugs/alcohol/danger-seeking addictions, emotional trauma, suicided, or barely survived thru 12-step and therapy. Many of these kids don't even make it into adulthood. When I was 25, I thought I was an adult, but now I'm 35, I look back and see I was still very much a kid.
    Something is deeply wrong with the Hollywood system. Although you only have to look at Tom Cruise to see that.
    • TrentDeux, on 01/16/2008, -5/+5Tom Cruise is rich, famous, happy, married, alive, not on drugs, and starring in huge motion pictures.

      Yeah what a mess his life is, I'm sure you wouldn't want to be in his shoes.
      • theodenking, on 01/16/2008, -2/+8You forgot ***** insane closet homosexual cultist.
      • jsmu, on 01/16/2008, -2/+0Tom Cruise is obscenely overpaid, famous for no reason, in his SECOND cover marriage, alive, on Scientology (far worse than drugs), and starring in big-budget mandrill ***** which is what Hollywood gives its slightly fading no-talents.
        Yeah, I'm dying to be him. Right now.
        What an idiot.
        • TrentDeux, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2obscenely overpaid - not at all, his movies make millions due to his star power
          famous for no reason - no, famous because he is a great actor and so many people watch his movies
          in his second cover marriage - divorce is very common, he married two beautiful women
          alive - true
          on Scientology - glad we have you as the arbiter of which religions are the best
          no-talent - wrong, Cruise has great range and depth, having done a wide variety of movies, from action-oriented to more dramatic
          i'm dying to be him - true

  • dvdchris, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5He's been in lots of movies. Tom and Huck, The Client, The Cure, Sleepers, Apt Pupil, Skipped Parts, Happy Campers, Ghost World, 10th and Wolf. IMDB photo gallery here. http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1235/Events/12 ...
    Such a waste.
  • Gravey9, on 01/16/2008, -4/+1junkie?
  • moxley, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5He was a decent actor - that's really sad.. I really dug him in "Telling Lies in America" with Kevin Bacon - that was a great movie and a good role for the kid.

    A lot of people are assholes on here "I get tired of people who can;t handle their on success" - Like you really know what the deal is, Maybe he liked to do drugs, not everyone who ends up with an addiction or overdoses does so because they have some troubled past or present - sometimes they just enjoy getting high and get addicted - then they really have a problem.

    I grew up in Southern California and have partied with young actors before; some of them don't know when to quit or become addicted at such a young age that they never really become adults.

    My guess is that he was on junk or doing speedballs and then drank (classic mistake, Heroin overdoses where heroin is the only drug involved are relatively rare comparitively; usually overdose deaths happen when someone brings alcohol or benzodiazipines into the mix - these substances, when mixed with opiates create a snowballing depressive effect on your respiratory system). It's an easy way to die.
  • krisscofield, on 01/16/2008, -1/+9Digg - where the recently deceased are belittled and made fun of. Anyway, back to Ron Paul and Ubuntu news, no doubt. God forbid we shoot those down.
    • Pixelante, on 01/16/2008, -3/+0What are we expected to do? When we die, nobody will waste any energy even to belittle and make fun of us. We're nobodies. The keepalive signal on our DSL lines is more real than our heartbeat.
      • Synn, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1So you're saying you're jealous that he was something and that you will never be anything?
  • sq2shooter, on 01/16/2008, -11/+2Never heard of him. He being an actor makes me care even less.
  • WilliamDecker, on 01/16/2008, -9/+1Another junkie dies. He means nothing. He's known for acting...

    Let's see some decent front page news that people care about...
    • StrangeFamous, on 01/16/2008, -0/+4Yeah, like stories about topless women playing the Wii, or funny pictures of animals having sex! Now THAT'S news.
  • chix0r, on 01/16/2008, -0/+4Enid: "Oh my God. He just ordered a giant glass of milk."
    Josh: "...That's a vanilla milkshake."
  • valeriehoney, on 01/16/2008, -13/+0OMG! It's really to see him died at this young! PS: FemMate.com is a cool place to discuss lesbian life and sex. A cool place to meet some real lesbian friends.
  • vagrantwade, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Renfro was the bomb as Huck Finn.
  • pepperpotts, on 01/16/2008, -2/+1"and g*d's name is smack for some...."
  • Hercules, on 01/16/2008, -6/+2I'm sorry, but I claim Darwinism every time some junkie overdoses or puts their life in jeopardy as a result of drug use.
  • JonathanThomas, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1Haven't anything with him in it for some time, was a good actor. Why is it that all the good actors get hooked on drugs and booze and die so young. River Phoenix (already mentioned) and Jonathan Brandis its just crazy. RIP Brad.
  • whodoes, on 01/16/2008, -0/+3Drugs are bad.
  • dkern, on 01/16/2008, -1/+5Easy folks, its not cool to bash a person who was suffering. I have been in the entertainment biz for a while and Brad was a very troubled guy. He was not a bad person. He was exploited and couldn't handle it. Its a very tough business and he had very little support. Sycophants are not family or friends. Its always very sad when a talented artist gets lost in the cruel insanity of yet another business throughly corrupted by corporate ***** con men- when this occurs the art suffers- and artists fall. Its not like he invaded a country and killed millions of people. He was just sick- please don't kick his memory down. Let the kid rest peacefully. Brad didn't drag people down with him like Brittany or Lindsay or GW Bush. Give it a rest.
    • miketherazor, on 01/16/2008, -2/+1Yeah, everyone should throw a jab at Bush in every single ***** story. Eat me.
  • distrbnce, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2imdb: Played the role of Leon Scott Kennedy in a Japanese-only Biohazard 2 (1998) (VG)) commercial

    that's cool.
  • Patricia123, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5I don't know ultimately what killed Brad, but I do know he was hugely talented and I'd heard about the Skid Row incident stuff. Mostly I know this, there are family and friends whose lives will never be the same, due to his death. As a mother of a recovering addict, I ache for this young man's family. Addiction doesn't only affect the user, it affects every person who loves him.

  • scorpionking, on 01/16/2008, -3/+0probably alcohol poisinig since he drank alot the night before he died.

  • nationdigg, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Drugs suck! I'm sick of talented people being lost to booze and dope. Poor kid - RIP.
