TMZ has learned actor Brad Renfro is dead.
The 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning. The cause of death has not been determined, however, Renfro had a history of drug abuse.
Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in "The Client" and "Apt Pupil" had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession.
Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, "The Informers," just wrapped.
Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we're told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.

RIP - My thoughts are with the friends and family who did their best to help.
There goes another one to drugs! When is young Hollywood actors going to realize what a waste of life drugs can lead to? How sad!
How sad it always is to hear that we have lost yet another young talant. I think sometimes the media/stress and all involved is just too much.
this is soooo sad. I just watched bully the other night. I love brad renfro! This is really heart breaking....
He was such a good actor too. Great in The Client and Apt Pupil. That is just tragic to die so young with so much talent. :*(
I have never heard of "attempted" herion possesion? Either you have it or you dont.
That's really sad, he was so young, and had a whole life ahead of him
How horrible! Brad was a very talented actor and I believe he had a very successful career ahead of him. I thought his character in Ghost World was adorable, and I really liked him in The Client and Bully. RIP Brad..May God have mercy on your soul.
