Most of the world knew him as his acting alias ‘Angus Cloud’ from HBO’s “Euphoria.” The people in his town better knew him as Conor aka the ’Condor’ Conor — a multifaceted artist who was into visual arts, music and skateboarding. He's a notable Oakland School of Arts alumni. He was also low-key and always had a good time with friends.
