Angus Cloud Could Have Been a Great, Unconventional Romantic Lead

It is, however, important to note that even though he was typecast off the street, Cloud said his laid-back character was nothing like him in real life. “It does bother me when people are like, ‘It must be so easy! You get to go in and be yourself,’” Cloud toldlast August. “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.

But it was hard to forget that modest start when watching Cloud’s portrayal of Fez, and the story made it so much easier to love him. The drug dealer, who employed his preteen brother and threatened to kill Nate, was a larger-than-life character, but Cloud never blew him out of proportion. Despite his much more precarious lifestyle, Fez had just as much humanness and youthfulness as the rest of the characters, thanks especially to Cloud’s intimate understanding of the teen.

, talking about movies and future plans. Perhaps the Lexi storyline would not be the usual plot for a gun-slinging drug dealer, but that made it all the better. Another pivotal Season 2 scene came in the finale, in which Lexi premiered her stage play while Fez was at home, preparing to attend. But then a SWAT team busts into his home, wounding Fez and taking him into custody for his involvement in a drug deal-related murder. This prevents Fez from attending the event, leaving him stranded with a bouquet of roses and a note to Lexi, while Lexi was a bundle of nerves in his absence.

It would’ve proven what we already knew about Cloud from the short time he spent developing Fez’s relationship with Lexi—he was a singular, honest, lovely leading man fit perfectly for’s unique romantic storyline. Cloud’s memory will live on in these beautiful scenes, which will now tug at the heartstrings even more upon rewatch.
