R.I.P. Brad

People are mocking his mistakes with drugs and law over his lifetime, but he was talented and I was a huge fan.

Rest in peace.

I was wondering if anyone would post about this. He was a good young actor. It's a shame.

Yeah, a good (potentially great) actor dead too young.
Anyone see "Bully"? Great indie movie starring Renfro and Nick Stahl.

He was extremely talented and I hated to hear about this. Much, much too young.

I heard about this too. Its definitely a shame.. very young. I've seen very few movies of his, but the ones I did see were great. And he had just finished filming another movie before this happened didnt he? I thought I read that somewhere.

Yes.
I loved him in The Client, Sleepers and Huck Finn. He had riveting onscreen presence.

And he had just finished filming another movie before this happened didnt he? I thought I read that somewhere.

According to Wikipedia, he just finished The Informers, with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton.
What a shame he could not get off junk or alcohol or whatever monkey was on his back. It reminds me of River Phoenix.
Many young people wade into the drug world, and not everyone makes it out alive.
Rest in peace, Brad.
