Permalink | Comments (0) | RSS

Another child star whose adult life was a struggle with drug and alcohol issues has been found dead at his Los Angeles home. Brad Renfro, still just 25-years-old, gained stardom with his performance in "The Client," a blockbuster that was based on the John Grisham bestseller.

Commmentary: Renfro burst onto the scene at the age of 12 with his performance opposite Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones in the 1994 movie. That role helped Renfro take home the Hollywood Reporter's "young star" award the following year. Though Renfro has continued to act in a number of movies, his private life was marked with drug and alcohol problems as well as jail time. The cause of death had not yet been determined.
