Actor Buddy Duress<\/a><\/strong> died in Nov. 2023, but his death and the cause were only revealed on March 7, 2024. According to The New York Times<\/em><\/a>, Duress’s death announcement was delayed because his mother was ill, and because Duress had not acted much in the final few years of his life. <\/p>\n

Audiences knew Duress, who was 38 when he died, for such films as Heaven Knows What<\/em> and Good Time<\/em>, also starring Robert Pattinson. Both were early Safdie brothers’ films, and Good Time<\/em> was adapted from Duress’ prison journal, People<\/em><\/a> reported. He also starred alongside Michael Cera <\/a>in the 2017 feature film Person to Person<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Duress, whose given name was Michael Stathis, was born in Queens, NY, and had a long history of substance use issues and legal problems before he got into acting, and was in and out of jail several times throughout his life. Duress was serving a sentence in Rikers Island on drug-related charges when Heaven Knows What<\/em> premiered at the New York Film Festival in 2017.<\/p>\n

That same year, however, Duress, who counted comedian Pete Davidson among his fans, seemed like he turned a corner<\/a>. Duress said, “I\u2019m done with the drugs, man. I want to get the f**k out of [jail], get on with my life and keep acting.”<\/p>\n

This man was an absolute treasure. Without a doubt, Buddy Duress was one of the most entertaining people I\u2019ve ever met and his stories were unrivaled. I remember seeing him in Good Time in 2017 and saying, \u201cThat is what the future of acting needs to be. That guy.\u201d He brought a\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/AgB5iX72Ed<\/a><\/p>\n
