“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss.

Cloud’s breakout role as Fezco on the HBO series was also his Hollywood debut, a role he landed after a casting agent approached him on the street; Cloud was working at a restaurant in Brooklyn at the time.
According to an interview Cloud did with The Hollywood Reporter, his character was initially “supposed to die in the first couple episodes” of the series, but series creator Sam Levinson kept him around.
Fez’s storyline with Maude Apatow’s Lexi became a fan favorite, though his future on the show was unclear following a Season 2 finale which saw him get shot in the stomach during a SWAT raid. While Euphoria has been renewed for a third season, it hasn’t yet been filmed.
