Actor Brad Renfro was found dead at his home this morning, due to an unknown cause (overdose?). Renfro had been battling an addiction to heroin for the last few years, but was said to have cleaned up early last year. He just finished shooting The Informer with Winona Ryder, to be released later this year.

A tragic ending to a tragic life. I really think that Brad was one of Hollywood’s finest young actors, and could have accomplished so much, had he not been on drugs. His performances in The Client, Apt Pupil, and Ghost World were stellar. Well, at least I can look forward to seeing him one last time in The Informer.
