    So I didn't realized you passed away almost five months ago, you were a pretty damn good actor, it's sad to see you go the way you did. I am only posting here because I am stoked on your posthumous release of The Informers, my favorite Easton Ellis novel.

    This year's Oscar memorial segment featured 43 people including makeup artists, a stuntman and several Hollywood agents but had no room for this talented man who literally grew up in front of the camera. An Academy spokesperson said there just wasn't enough time to include him!

    While the Academy snubbed him, it is interesting to note that Brad Renfro won and was nominated for international awards as not only an actor, but also as a writer and a producer.

    Shame on the Academy for not showing even the tiniest glimmer of respect to a fallen star.
