Cool off the Wire

Heath Ledger's untimely death reminds me of another recent death i meant to acknowledge here, but that idea, much like this fellow's career, was soon forgotten (too soon for that?) Brad Renfro...poor young brad renfro, who died January 15, 2008 at the tender age of 25....i remember him as one of my early crushes, though i can't remember exactly what role put him there...i know he did great work in many small films. unfortunately he succumbed to his drug problems (actually...i think its still unknown, but we can pretty much guess here.) he is apparently survived by a young secret son who lives in Japan with his mother. double saddies. maybe matilda ledger and Y renfro can mourn together in the future.
