Buddy Duress, who starred alongside Robert Pattinson in Good Time, has passed away. The Heaven Knows What star died at the age of 38. Duress succumbed to a ‘cardiac arrest from a drug cocktail’ in November 2023, as confirmed by his brother.
Paying tribute, director Jay Karales told People: ‘Buddy Duress was a once-in-a-lifetime charismatic actor and a genuinely humble man that left an impression on everyone he met. ‘I was extremely fortunate to be able to direct him and get to know him off-set during our time shooting Mass State Lottery.
‘What happened is a tragic and frustrating loss of visceral talent.
‘He lived like a cowboy, and carrying the weight of that kind of life informed his skills and performances in a way that made him irreplaceable as an actor. ‘He has unfortunately become the John Cazale of our generation.’
