How did they find Angus for Euphoria?

This is particularly noteworthy considering the fact that Angus had zero acting experience before he was cast and was actually working as a server in a chicken and waffles restaurant in New York City when he was scouted by a casting agent.

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” they said. “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. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend,” the statement went on. “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 humor, laughter, and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss,” Angus’s family concluded.

The young star’s passing has caused shockwaves in the entertainment industry, and many of his former colleagues and fans have taken to social media to pay heartfelt tributes. 

“It was hella hard to climb out because my skull was broken, but my skin wasn’t, so all the bleeding was internal, pressing up against my brain. But they weren’t gonna find me down there. I found myself,” Angus went on, before explaining that despite his injuries, he didn’t feel any pain because he was in “survival mode.”

With blurred vision, broken fingers, and an internal bleed, Angus took the bus back home to his mom — who thought that he was on drugs when he got there. Angus said: “My pupils were hella dilated. I was trying to tell her what happened, but I could only start a sentence — I couldn’t finish it.”

Angus wanted to go to sleep but, thankfully, his mom realized that something was seriously wrong and didn’t let him. “I would have died,” the star bluntly told the publication.

He was taken to the children’s hospital, and doctors there saved Angus’s life. He explained: “They cut my head open, they put some screws and a plate over where I broke my skull and — shit, sealed me back up, and that was that.”

“I don’t know exactly how to put it, but I just, like, doing whatever I feel like doing at the time. I like to do whatever I feel is right, and just do what I want,” he added.

But one evening, when he was “hanging out” with some friends in the street, Angus caught the eye of casting scout Eléonore Hendricks — but he was understandably suspicious when she approached him.

“When it happened, I thought she was just making stuff up. But I like to listen to people’s hustle. I respect all hustles,” he told the Face. “If you’ve got a good story, I’ll hear you out. Maybe it’s worth a dollar or two. And in my case, it worked in my favor, because it was a true hustle.”
