No mention of his iconic status on SJ though.

How Hollywood Failed Brad Renfro

 

[Donny in his element]

He was great in Apt Pupil.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Are we getting trolled?

 

[poindexter]

When they included this picture, I'd say, yes, we are getting trolled.

The author mentioned how great he was in the film in the first few grafs, so there's that.

Who here is Adam B. Vary??

I read this the other day and was fascinated. He really must have been the poster child for a 12-year-old living the life of a 23-year-old.

Recently saw The Client - and he wasn't very good in it. The movie sucked (the book sucked too to be fair) and other than some decent interplay between Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones - the thing was pointless.

The joke is even worse.

JC was pretty good in the ... slagging on the Brad Renfro *joke* thread.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

I think Brad Garrett would have been outstanding in Susan Saradon's role.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Renfro was in bounds.

Renfro was in bounds.

It begat replay

Like 10 years later.

How did we miss it? Brad Renfro died 12 years ago yesterday.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

He was really good in The Client.

 

[swingline]

He was really good in The Client.

People are talking.

Edit: I was thinking of The Firm. All of those Grisham books and movies look alike to me. Sorry.

I really like him in Bully (2001). Such a crazy "pulled from the headlines" movie and the end of the movie is the actual transcription from the trial.
