GOOD Time member Buddy Duress has died at the age of 38.
Both Christopher, the brother of the deceased friend, and Jay Karales, his friend and co-worker, informed the Sun about the death of American Buddy.
It wasn’t until late February that the cause of death was revealed to be a “drug cocktail” containing heroin that led to cardiac arrest.
Jay praised the movie star on X, the former Twitter platform.
“This man was a real treasure. He added, “I met some of the funniest people I’ve ever met, and Buddy Duress had the best stories.”
In 2017, after seeing him in Good Time, I thought, “This is what acting has to look like in the future.” “The guy,” the man continued.
“He brought a certain authenticity and charisma to the screen that you just don’t see anymore,” Jay said.
“It was a dream to get him into the Mass State Lottery and I feel honored to have been his director and friend,” he said.
TWICE PERFECT
Buddy starred in Julie Fox’s PVT Chat and Robert Pattinson’s Good Time.
The actor’s career was taking off when he got into trouble with the law in the summer of 2019.
According to the New York Post, he was arrested and booked into Rikers Island on suspicion of third-degree grand larceny.
According to reports, he was brought there 10 times on suspicion of anything from identity theft to possession of heroin on his person.
He was also present in 2019 when his mother reported to police that he stole checks totaling $3,000 and forged her signature.
“THIS IS CRAZY” Buddy’s admirers expressed their thoughts on Reddit and other social media platforms.
I adored him in Good Time, man. “May he rest in peace,” someone wrote on a fan forum.
“That’s crazy. He has good acting skills. Poor creature.
Another added: “May he rest in peace.”
“My, how far he would go. A third person said, Rest in peace.”
“I hope he finds peace. He was great on PVT Chat and Good Time. “Very sad,” another person commented.
