Hrpmh. I just watched Bully for the first time the other night (on IFC). And I actually thought he looked familiar, and looked him up online. Of all the times I could have possibly done that - strange.

Anyways, I didn't know he was a drug addict. I was shocked for a minute. But then read that he did lots of drugs. So it's not such a shocker now.

Ah well. Could have been a big actor. Guess we'll never know. Hrmph.

He was good in Ghost World also.

Anyone who can hold his own acting for an entire movie with Sir Ian obviously had a lot of talent - what a waste!

Another person shitting his life and talent away on drugs.

BTW, anyone notice how the older he got, the more he looked like John Cusack?

That's what I thought when I heard, but I think he looked more like Haley Joel Osment. This is sad though. 25 my god:(

John Cusack is another one of my favorite actors....never thought they looked alike though.

Sad to hear when people go so young, but when you're fucked up on drugs like he was, it's not as big a shocker. Next in line: Natasha Lyonne

Too bad. He was great as the kid in The Client. What a waste.

For being the only one to say what he did was stupid, I was "removed from the discussion" at the HTF.

Here, several people said it and nothing was done about it. Interesting how restrictive opinions have to be in certain places.

being a drug addict isn't smart, but I'm betting intelligence had little to do with it.

Wow. I'm not even a big fan of Renfro's, but ...wow. If you are a DVD Talk Hero, I hope I never make it to that designation here.

Who?

Of course not. People don't have to be stupid in order to do stupid things, obviously.

my point was that this kid seemed pretty powerless to this shit, and whether or not it's stupid is irrelevant.
