Filmmaker Larry Clark was once forced to "kidnap" Brad Renfro to make sure the late actor was clean of drugs before they started shooting a movie together. Clark visited Renfro, who was found dead from a heroin overdose last month, at his Knoxville, Tennessee home in advance of filming Bully in 2000-- and was shocked by the then-17-year-old`s bloated, drug-addled appearance.

The director realized that if he didn`t force Renfro to clean up, his movie would never get made because no insurance company would cover an actor in his condition.

Clark recalls, "I said, `What the f--- are you doing?` He`d been banging coke. He has tracks running down both arms. He looks horrible. I just saw the whole movie going down the drain... I`ve been around a lot of addicts and alcoholics, and I remember thinking at the time, this is one of the worst cases I`ve ever seen. (So) I kidnapped him. He kicked (drugs) in the car. He had a seizure. There`s nothing you can do. It doesn`t last that long."
