Troubled star of one of our (well, you editor's) favorite movies, Apt Pupil, died today. According to the godly folks over at TMZ:

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 has 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 just wrapped up filming The Informers with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton.

RIP, Todd Bowden. You will be missed.

My heart broke a little when I heard about this. I just googled the guy two days ago to see what he was up to. Sad. What a waste.
