Brad Renfro, last seen looking slightly more adorable in the 1994 movie The Client, has died at the age of 25. No, we did not forget about the rest of his impressive resume. We just refuse to believe any of you actually saw Apt Pupil or Sleepers. If this is not true, feel free to keep that fact to yourself.
We have to admit, we missed the boat on this one. Renfro had everything you want in a 2-point contender. Let's go to the scorecard:
Fame before puberty? Check.
Career peak before 18? Check.
Dropoff in work the last couple years? Check.
History of drug and alcohol abuse? Double check.
Recent arrest by police for trying to buy drugs in Skid Row? Check!
Really, Renfro should have been a Winehousesque type draft pick, but for the fact people may have had concerns about whether he was famous enough. But if you had picked him, who would be able to object? Certainly not the team picking Meet Guys. I mean, if we asked each of the teams to name either the kid from The Client or the person that had something to do with Anne Frank (by the way, that was a true story? Who knew??), who do you think would win? I kid, of course. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Wikipedia Ivan Denisovich's butler.

If drugs were available with a prescription, or something like that, maybe there would be less deaths for overdoses.
Apt Pupal and Sleepers were really good movies, he was alos in Bully which even though the movie was disturbing, his acting was great, how about you guys keep your blog or magazine to yourselfs and get some taste in movies
Ummm....virtually everyone who can read knows that Ann Frank is a true story LOL
