Angus Cloud’s mother, Lisa Cloud, has released an early audition tape the actor made before he landed his breakout role on HBO’s Euphoria.
The rising star, best known for his role as drug dealer Fezco on Sam Levinson’s gritty teen drama, died on 31 July at the age of 25.
It has been over a week since his family announced his death, and while their statement did not disclose a cause, it noted that Cloud had lost his father shortly before, and had “intensely struggled with this loss”.
Remembering her son’s “extraordinary spirit”, Lisa shared a link to Cloud’s audition tape that she had recently been sent by Jennifer Venditti, the casting agent who scouted the Oakland, California native in Brooklyn.
“This was just sent to me by Jennifer Venditti who scouted Angus in Brooklyn. It’s his first tape,” Lisa wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday (8 August). “After this was seen by the creators of Euphoria, he was asked to read for Fezco. It really captures my son’s extraordinary spirit.”
