Angus Cloud never anticipated that he would become a household name. It was a chance encounter on a summer night in 2018 when Eléonore Hendricks, a seasoned scout for the new HBO series Euphoria, noticed him while he was casually strolling down a Manhattan street with a friend. As mentioned in the BBC, although it was past her working hours, Hendricks couldn’t ignore the potential she saw in the then-20-year-old Cloud. It was in that moment that the character of Fezco “Fez” O’Neill, which had yet to be cast, materialized in her mind. Consequently, Cloud took on the role and captivated audiences for two seasons before his tragic passing at the age of 25.
According to Hendricks, Fez was intended to be a drug dealer with a streetwise swagger, yet still trustworthy and dependable. She immediately recognized these qualities in Cloud. At the time, Cloud was employed at a chicken-and-waffles restaurant and had initial doubts about Hendricks’ intentions, suspecting a potential scam. However, he decided to take a leap of faith and audition. His impressive performance led to an extension of his originally limited role as Fez, as he became a fan favorite, cited by the BBC and other sources as the breakout star of the series.
Now, Cloud’s co-stars are grieving his untimely demise, as reported by the AP. Zendaya expressed her sorrow on Instagram, writing, “I know people often use the expression ‘they could light up any room they entered’ when talking about loved ones, but let me tell you, he was the epitome of that. Words cannot adequately describe Angus (Conor)’s infinite beauty. I am grateful to have known him in this life, to have called him a brother, to witness his warm, kind eyes and bright smile, and to hear his infectious, joyful laugh (which brings a smile to my face even as I think of it).” Sydney Sweeney shared, “Angus, your soul was open, your heart was kind, and you filled every room with laughter.” Additional reactions from the cast are compiled by People here.
