Surefooted teen, who, after a string of supporting roles, garnered critcal acclaim for his touching portrait of Aaron, a 12 year-old left to his own devices, in Steven Soderbergh's "King of the Hill" (1993). Bradford portrayed the character as a modern day Huck Finn, a child caught amongst adult conflicts who is forced to rely on his powerful imagination and child-like cunning to ensure survival while living alone in a boarding house during the Great Depression.

He had previously appeared as Robert De Niro's son in "Falling in Love" (1984) and as Harrison Ford's son in "Presumed Innocent" (1990). Bradford also appeared in an episode of the short-lived series "Tribeca" and in the TV-movie "Classified Love" (1986).

The young actor continued to turn in impressive performances, none more than his turn as the disaffected adopted son of an expatriate American family in the Merchant-Ivory production of "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries" (1998).

In 2000, Bradford was involved in several projects including "Bring It On" and "According To Spencer". He then starred in the Jonathan Frakes sci-fi feature "Clockstoppers" (2002) and played a high school swimmer who has to deal with the consequences of having a one-night stand in "Swimfan," the 2002 teen genre version of "Fatal Attraction."
