The cast and crew of “Freaky Tales” remember working with late actor Angus Cloud in one of his final roles.
The “Euphoria” actor died last July at the age of 25.
The new film screened this week at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck cast Cloud as Travis, a would-be burglar in a neo-Nazi gang, after seeing him as Fezco in Euphoria.
“The role was so close to his heart,” Boden told . “Even in the most tense moments on set, he brought this different energy and helped diffuse the tension. In the end, he brings this very specific, very Angus energy to the role. He completely transforms it from what could be a very average role that you don't think about that much, into something that has a very specific life.”
Boden added: “We were really happy to have him for the film.”
“Freaky Tales” is set in Cloud’s native Oakland and also stars Jay Ellis and Pedro Pascal.
After the Park City screening, Ellis remembered working with Cloud.
“We had so much fun between setups,” Ellis said Video shared on the event's social media. “There were breakdowns. We helped each other through the crisis a few times. But it was so great to see this cast come together.”
“Rest in peace to Angus,” Ellis continued. “He did such a great job and had so much fun with us.”
