Angus Cloud, the actor who starred as the drug dealer Fezco \u201cFez\u201d O\u2019Neill on the HBO series \u201cEuphoria,\u201d has died. He was 25.\u00a0

Cloud\u2019s publicist, Cait Bailey, said Cloud died Monday at his family home in Oakland, California. No cause of death was given. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Cloud\u2019s family said goodbye to \u201can artist, a friend, a brother and a son.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss,\u201d the family said. \u201cThe only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone,\u201d his family added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud hadn\u2019t acted before he was cast in \u201cEuphoria.\u201d He was walking down the street in New York when casting scout El\u00e9onore Hendricks noticed him. Cloud was resistant at first, suspecting a scam. Then casting director Jennifer Venditti met with him and series creator Sam Levinson eventually made him a co-star in the series alongside Zendaya for its first two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To some, Cloud seemed so natural as Fez that they suspected he was identical to the character \u2014 a notion that Cloud pushed back against. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt does bother me when people are like, \u2018It must be so easy! You get to go in and be yourself.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Why don\u2019t you go and do that?\u2019 It\u2019s not that simple,\u201d Cloud told Variety. \u201cI brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ain\u2019t got nothing to do with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The part made Cloud the breakout star of one the buzziest shows in television. He was recently cast to co-star in \u201cScream 6.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Angus Cloud,\u201d HBO said in a statement. \u201cHe was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and \u2018Euphoria\u2019 family. We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
