Angus Cloud completed filming three movies before his tragic death.
The 25-year-old, best known for playing Fezco in the hit HBO drama Euphoria, sadly died at his home in Oakland, California on Monday.
It has since been revealed that the actor had wrapped up filming three projects prior to his passing – including a Universal monster thriller movie directed by Scream directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, which is due out next April.
Angus also recently completed work on Freaky Tales – an upcoming drama from Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, which is now in post-production.
He had also finished filming Dan Brown’s Your Lucky Day – co-starring Sterling Beaumon, Jessica Garza and Jason O’Mara.
Angus’ death was confirmed by his family in a heartbreaking statement shared on Monday.
The statement read: “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”
“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The 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.”
“We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss,” the statement concluded.
Just days before the 25-year-old was found dead at his home in Oakland on Monday, Angus and his family had returned to Ireland to bury his father Conor Hickey.
While the actor was born in California, his family hail from Ireland – where the majority of them still live.
It’s understood his father passed away at the end of May, following a short illness.
One of Cloud’s final Instagram posts, posted on July 14th, was a photo of his beloved dad smiling alongside the caption: “miss u breh.”
The actor, whose full name was Conor Angus Cloud Hickey, was incredible close to his father, and was even named after him.
During an interview with WSJ Magazine in 2019, Angus said he was planning on moving to Ireland before he was cast in Euphoria.
At the time, he said: “I was gonna move to Ireland for a while. All my family lives out there.”
Angus had no prior acting experience before he was cast in Euphoria.
The 25-year-old was working at a chicken-and-waffles restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, when he was scouted by casting agent Jennifer Venditti.
During a previous interview with GQ, the actor admitted his character Fez was originally supposed to die in the first season.
But the show’s creator Sam Levinson changed his mind after watching Angus perform in the role.
Angus presumed because he didn’t have any acting experience, his character wasn’t supposed to last very long on the show.
He said: “I don’t know, but apparently, because they cast me off the street, I guess the character of Fezco was [never meant to stick around]. I don’t even know how. I never saw that script. No one ever told me.”
Angus only found out his character was supposed to die from co-star Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate Jacobs in the show.
He said: “It was one day when we were filming the pilot that I think Jacob told me, he was like, ‘Oh yeah, you didn’t know? Your character gets [imitates brains getting blown out].’”
“And yeah, it never ended up happening. I think that they liked what I did and so they decided to keep me alive and let me rock.”
