Aft Pupil

(Props to Joe)
Brad Renfro took the clichéd way out for former child stars, dying of a drug overdose at the age of 25. Renfro had roles in a series of intensely mediocre movies, starting with the kid who witnesses a mob lawyer’s suicide in The Client. He was tutored in evil by a Nazi war criminal in Apt Pupil. He was one of the more dimwitted accomplices in the murder of Nick Stahl’s Bully. Between acting gigs, he developed quite an addiction to heroin, cocaine and marijuana, which brought him into contact with the law for trying to steal a 45-foot yacht, and apparently the dock it was tied to, as he failed to cast off. He was also picked up in a 2005 sweep of LA’s Skid Row.
