BRAD RENFRO
1. Todd Bowden in APT PUPIL
2. Marty Puccio in BULLY
3. Mark Sway in THE CLIENT
4. Michael Sullivan in SLEEPERS
5. Josh in GHOST WORLD

Definitely the best young actor working today. Jonathan Jackson is close second.

He did such a great Job in Bully. I was actually thinking about posting something here about the movie a little while ago.
I dont know what in the hell Larry Clark does to get kids to act so wonderfully, but it sure as hell does the trick

For all you Brad fans out there...

Aside from my afore-mentioned favorites Brad Renfro performances, I also admired his smaller roles in THE JACKET, HAPPY CAMPERS and SKIPPED PARTS.

His death reminds me of River Phoenix's untimely passing in 1993. Regardless of the cause, thank God he died at his home in his sleep instead of on the sidewalk in front of the Viper Room!

R.I.P.

I just wanted to echo Lady E's mention of his Law & Order Criminal Intent episode, Watch. He did look rather haggard in it, but his performance was compelling and real. It's airing next Tuesday, Jan. 22nd, at 7:00 P.M. on USA Network. One of the unfortunately small pool of episodes featuring Annabella Sciorra as Logan's low key, cerebral partner Carolyn Barek.

The River comparison is natural, but I was also reminded of the deeply talented but personally flawed Brad Davis, as well.

Is that episode Eastern or Central time, b/c there are several playing back-to-back...just wanted to make sure I DVR the right one, b/c the episode descriptions don't list the guest actors...thanks in advance. Glad to see there are other Brad fans out there. I heard he was excellent (as always) in that L&O:CI episode.

While Bully was definitely a disturbing movie, the performances were all very good. He was also really good in The Client, holding his own with the likes of Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones - no easy feat.

Those are the only two I've seen.
