Harold Hunter passed away last night from a supposed cocaine overdose.
Harold was best known for his role in Larry Clark's Kids, where he played a kid named Harold. He was cast in the movie after befriending Harmony Korine while skateboarding in Washington Square Park. After some other acting gigs, Harold went on to become a pro-skater for Zoo York.
The legacy of the kids of Kids seems a mixed bag. The movie was a launching pad for Chloe Sevigny, Rosario Dawson, Harmony Korine, and to a certain degree, Leo Fitzpatrick.
For others, the movie seemed more than a portrayal of fucked up city kids, but a documentary on how they lived. Justin Pierce, who played Casper in Kids, hung himself in 2000, and now Harold has overdosed. They're just two of the casualties. Sad. Sad. Sad.........
I used to see him out all the time. It's sad his lifestyle caught up with him. R.I.P.
