Biography

Brad Renfro was an American actor born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He had no acting experience when casting director Mali Finn chose him for Joel Schumacher's The Client (1994) after looking at 5,000 boys across the United States. That film became one of the top-grossing releases of 1994. He played Huckleberry Finn in Tom and Huck (1995), and for The Cure (1995) he received a Young Artist award and a second Young Star award. In Sleepers (1996) he appeared as a younger version of Brad Pitt's character, then starred in Telling Lies in America (1997). His lead in Apt Pupil (1998) earned the Tokyo International Film Festival Best Actor prize and a Saturn Award nomination. He continued with Bully (2001), Ghost World (2001), Tart (2001), The Jacket (2005), and The Informers (2008), as well as a Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode and music videos for 10 Years and N.E.R.D.
