Angus’ family statement after his death
In a statement, his family said goodbye to “an artist, a friend, a brother and a son”. “Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. 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. We hope the world remembers him for his humour, laughter and love for everyone,” read the statement.
Angus was part of several projects
Angus hadn’t acted before he was cast in Euphoria. He was cast after being discovered while walking on the street in New York. In addition to the hit series, which hasn’t started filming its third season, Angus had a supporting role in his first film, The Line. It is a college drama starring Alex Wolff and John Malkovich that premiered at this year’s Tribeca Festival. He was recently cast to co-star in Scream 6.
Angus on his Euphoria character
Fans of his character in Euphoria thought Angus was identical to him as he was natural as Fez. Earlier, Angus had told Variety. “It does bother me when people are like, ‘It must be so easy! You get to go in and be yourself.’ I’m like, ‘Why don’t you go and do that?’ It’s not that simple. I brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ain’t got nothing to do with me.”
