Brad Renfro Another Child Actor Tragedy

Child star actor Brad Renfro, 23, was dressed in cargo pants and what appeared to be a military uniform when he appeared on Spring. He was taken into custody after he tried to buy heroin from the officers, police said.

Undercover detectives posing as drug dealers launched the first phase of a new LAPD crackdown on skid row's massive drug marketplace Thursday by arresting 14 buyers, including Hollywood actor Renfro.

Renfro began acting as a child, gaining notice in "The Client," the 1994 movie version of the John Grisham novel. He went on to star in several independent movies, including "Telling Lies in America" and "Bully," and co-starred in "Sleepers" and "Tom and Huck," in which he played Huck Finn.

He was booked into jail Thursday evening.
