Cloud—who played the fan-favorite drug dealer Fezco in the HBO drama—passed away just one week after his father. His family said the actor had "struggled" with his dad's death. 

"The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend," they continued. "Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence."

Storm Reid—who portrays Gia, the little sister of Rue (Zendaya)—said "the tears just won't stop."

Cloud grew up in the Bay Area of California and graduated from Oakland School for the Arts in 2016. His acting career took off after a scout discovered him one night walking the streets of Brooklyn with some friends.

"I like to make music videos," he told Variety last year, "and acting's dope as f--k. Best job I ever had."

Casting director Jennifer Venditti praised his talents at the time, saying, "Angus doesn't get enough credit."
