Levison continued, candidly discussing how loved Cloud was by the cast and crew on the HBO show.

Cloud’s family confirmed the tragic news yesterday and shared a statement about the late actor.
It read: “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.
“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. 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.”
Cloud's official cause of his death has not yet been confirmed, and the actor is survived by his mum Lisa Cloud Hickey and his two sisters, Molly and Fiona.
