Angus Cloud was one of the most distinctive actors on TV.
Cloud, who playedthe young drug dealer Fezcoon the show, did not really seem ofEuphoria.
Cloud was working in a coffee shop at the time.
There are many stories of people being plucked from obscurity and becoming stars.
But Clouds Cinderella story was the real deal.
Later in that episode, Fez confronts the sexually manipulative and abusive Nate at a party.
The focus on the drink turns out to be strategic.
Then Fez smashes a bottle against Nates head and slams his face into the bar top.
Some artists know things that cant be taught.
Cloud mightve been one of them.
He didnt have a single credit beforeEuphoria.
He didnt go to Bristol Old Vic or Juilliard.
He didnt have famous-actor parents whom he grew up watching on set.
Then again, maybe nobody told him anything.
Maybe he understood how to act for the camera from watching movies and thinking about them later.
Was Cloud playing a version of himself?
Who but the actor can say which parts of a performance are drawn from the actors personality and experience?
Cloud was coy about it.
But whatever he was doing, it was perfect.
CloudsEuphoriascenes strung-end-to-end might equal three episodes worth of run time.
Yet in the memory, it feels as if he was in all of it.
You didnt just watch him.
