From serving greasy grub in a Brooklyn chicken and waffles shack, to stealing scenes in one of HBO's most celebrated dramas, the late great Angus Cloud enjoyed quite a final five years before tragically passing away this week. Familiar to millions of TV watchers as the drug dealer Fez in two seasons of Euphoria, alongside the likes of Zendaya (as Rue), Jacob Elordi (Nate) and Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), the 25 year old was born and raised in an Irish-American family, living in Oakland and attending Oakland School for the Arts, where he studied technical theatre. Angus eventually relocated to New York with future hopes of putting down roots in his ancestral homeland of Ireland, but a random ticket to fame put the brakes on those plans.
On being noticed by street scout Eléonore Hendricks, the star told The Wall Street Journal in 2019: "She asked me if I would be down to do an audition, but she didn't exactly say what it was for. I thought it was some type of scam." The rest is history, and his Euphoria break lead to parts in Vince Vaughn's North Hollywood, John Malkovich's The Line and an untitled monster movie from Universal Pictures that's due out next year. What many fans may not know, though, is that Angus narrowly avoided death in 2013 when he split his skull open and suffered a brain injury after falling into a construction pit.
"I woke up 12 hours later at the bottom," he told Variety. "I was trapped. I eventually climbed out after — I don’t know how long.
It was hella hard to climb out, because my skull was broken, but my skin wasn’t, so all the bleeding was internal, pressing up against my brain. But they wasn’t gonna find me down there. I found myself.
