Early life

The accident resulted in a scar on the left side of his head.

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.

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 previous experience in the field having been when he built sets and worked on lighting and sound for his high school's theatre department.

In 2022, he appeared in two music videos for Juice Wrld's "Cigarettes" and for Becky G and Karol G's "Mamiii" music videos. In 2023, he appeared in the film The Line, portraying Robert DeWitt. That same year, he signed with United Talent Agency (UTA).

Cloud had roles in three films which were unreleased at the time of his death: the horror films Your Lucky Day and Abigail, and the drama film Freaky Tales. It was confirmed that he had completed work on Your Lucky Day and Abigail before he died. Prior to his death, he was supposed to star in the film adaptation The Things They Carried which is based by Tim O'Brien on the events of the Vietnam War.

Death
Cloud was found dead in his family's house in Oakland, California, on July 31, 2023, aged 25. The cause of death was an accidental multiple drug overdose.
