ACTOR
An international bilingual (English/Japanese) master of craft with a forty-year career spanning Australia, Europe, and Asia. Specialising in high-status character roles and psychologically complex archetypes.
Angelino’s trajectory began at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) under the mentorship of founding Head of Theatre, Nigel Rideout.
His “Global Pedigree” is defined by a formative residency in London, where he underwent intensive professional development at The Actors Centre (Chenies Street). This period included foundational Stanislavsky training under the legendary Doreen Cannon, psychological character development with Sam Kogan, and high-level vocal and text mastery with the “Elite Trinity” of British voice: Cicely Berry (RSC), Patsy Rodenburg (National Theatre), and Mary Hammond (Musical Theatre).
His expertise is underpinned by a Master of Communications (ECU) and advanced conservatory studies (WAAPA) in Shakespeare and Voice under Julia Moody, masterclasses with the renowned Kristin Linklater, intensive private vocal tuition with Liz Pascoe, and contemporary acting development with master director Jean-Pierre Mignon. This unique blend of academic rigour and veteran stagecraft delivers a seasoned, command-level presence across stage, screen, and broadcast.
A Permanent Resident of Japan with a valid Australian passport, Angelino is a globally available asset for international productions.
This year, he is undergoing a dedicated vocal and technical retraining period in preparation for his return to the stage. This period of artistic refinement follows a successful recovery from a kidney transplant—a journey of health and resilience that has profoundly deepened his perspective as a performer. This return to craft coincides with his work as Editor and Narrator for his “Slow Media” project, The Fushigi Times podcast, dedicated to focused, editorial storytelling.

Behind the Craft
Usually located near Tokyo, Japan, Angelino balances his professional slate with happy days defined by “Blue Zone” living on the country-sea Pacific Coast of Chiba Prefecture.
