Cloud gained recognition for his compelling performance as a drug dealer named Fezco and friend to the main character Rue, played by Zendaya in Euphoria. His other acting credits included the films “North Hollywood” (2021) and “The Line” (2023). In addition to his talent, which has been affirmed through his performances on screen, Angus Cloud is also remembered by the audience for his success story in life. Hailing from Oakland, California, Cloud had no formal training in acting and previously worked in film production, however, fate led him to audition for “Euphoria,” where he secured the role by chance.
Securing the role could be attributed to Angus Cloud’s composed and collected demeanor, coupled with his undeniable talent; this amiable nature is also reflected in his distinctive wardrobe, which infuses a fresh twist into the ‘skater’ style. Unlike many Hollywood actors who dress to cater to broad audiences, Cloud fearlessly wears whatever he pleases. Whether it’s a stylish orange Versace suit or a laid-back knit jacket with a white scarf stylishly wrapped around his head in the front row of a fashion show, he exudes a unique and unapologetic fashion sense. Angus Cloud can be best described as a ‘dopamine dresser’ – effortlessly exuding positive energy through his outfits, making dressing with joy look utterly natural and captivating.
