Actor Angus Cloud was open about both his mental health issues and his traumatic brain injury following an accident in 2013. Cloud fell into a construction pit on, of all days, a Friday the 13th. While walking home one night, he ended up at the bottom of an open construction pit and passed out for 12 hours. He credited his mother for saving his life because she brought him to the hospital even after he asked to go to bed.
“The brain is so fragile,” he told Variety almost a decade later. “It was damn near like nothing really happened. I’m so blessed to just have minor brain damage. You know, it’s so minor it ain’t even really worth speaking about.” The outlet noted that Cloud wasn’t one to talk a lot about himself and told his harrowing story with a unique stoicism. Cloud even told Variety that his scar became part of Fez’s story after the character was whacked with a crowbar.
