Colman Domingo remembers his co-star from Euphoria, the late Angus Cloud. While in a conversation with Vanity Fair, Domingo revealed that it was a bad time for the Euphoria cast after learning about the death of Cloud, who was aged 25. The Line actor played the character of Fezco in the popular series. Shortly after Cloud's death, the Euphoria team members also lost one of their producers, Kevin Turen.
In the interview, Domingo shared, "I'm sure it affected not only the creation of season 3, because [Angus] was going to be a very strong part of it, but it's... I don't know. We came together as a cast many times to grieve, to mourn, to laugh, and to enjoy all the things we know about Angus."
How Did Colman Domingo Feel About Angus Cloud?
Domingo confessed to Vanity Fair that he was quite fond of Cloud. He said, "He was a wild one. I love him. He was a wild little brother. He was just sweet and funny and warm and odd at the same time. And I love people like that." He continued, "If you're not a little off, I have no business with you. You got to be a little off to be up in my life. He was all those things."
The Color Purple star also shared how they lost an important part of their team with the late producer Kevin Turen. He shared, "Then we lost Kevin, one of our producers. So we've had some losses. I know that Sam [Levinson] is conscious of that, and so I think it really helps to reexamine the work."
He added, "We need to always not just ride on our laurels of, 'Oh, we've had a hit show. We've won Emmys,' stuff like that. But he's always wanting to redefine and say, 'Why are we doing this? Why? Like really.' And I think it's a great question. Why exactly are we doing this?"
