Levinson, who helped discover Cloud and gave him his breakthrough role, revealed inthat he had actively encouraged Cloud to seek help for his struggle with addiction, and even staged multiple interventions.
"I looked him in the eye and I knew that he wasn't doing well," Levinson told the outlet. "At the same time I've been in these situations before where you're trying to get someone clean. And I just said to him, 'I love working with you and we've got this amazing season planned and stuff, but I need you to be sober because I got to be able to rely on you.
