Young actor, only 25...had been in The Client and Ghost World. He was found dead in his LA home. Drugs are suspected since he has had many arrests, including one for heroin.

I can't remember him from The Client, really. That was his big breakout role. But he's from Knoxville, so I always took note of any news about him - all of it bad in the recent years. Poor kid never had a chance...he never really had any adult guidance after he had his big hit movie role, or so they say.

Also starred in the adaptation of the Stephen King novella "Apt Pupil", in which his high school student character blackmails his neighbor, a former SS officer played by Ian McKellen. He also played Huck Finn in Disney's "Tom and Huck".
