Career
While working at Woodlands restaurant close to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Cloud was scouted by Euphoria casting director Jennifer Venditti; he initially thought she was trying to scam him. In the series, he portrayed Fezco, a kindhearted drug dealer who often provided moral guidance to some of the main characters in the series. The Wall Street Journal described the character as a "lovable drug dealer". His role was expanded in the second season. He had never acted prior to his role on Euphoria, his only experience in the field having been when he built sets and worked on lighting and sound for his high school's theatre department.

That same year, he signed with United Talent Agency (UTA).
