Angus Cloud, known for his role as Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on HBO’s Euphoria, has died at the age of unknown causes. Cloud’s family and colleagues confirmed his passing, noting his struggles with mental health and recent mourning of his father’s death. Cloud’s portrayal of the sensitive drug dealer on Euphoria quickly made him a fan favorite and paved the way for a promising film career. His friends and fellow actors have expressed their grief and shared their memories of him. Zendaya, his co-star on Euphoria, described him as having an “infinite beauty” and bringing light, love, and joy to every moment. Fellow cast member Paula Marshall remarked on his kind and gracious demeanor and unique presence on set. Javon “Wanna” Walton, who played Ashtray, Fez’s little brother on Euphoria, posted a heartfelt photo of the two of them, and Storm Reid, who plays Rue’s younger sister Gia, shared a video clip of a memorable scene with Cloud’s character. Cloud’s rise to fame was unexpected, as he was discovered by a casting director in New York City. He had initial doubts about being “discovered” but eventually embraced the role. He also spoke about his own personality being different from Fez’s, but fans often associated them with their shared low-key coolness. Cloud’s success led to various film roles, including North Hollywood and The Line. HBO released a statement offering condolences and remembering Cloud as immensely talented and a beloved part of their family.
