ACTOR
With roots spanning the artistic hub of Amsterdam, the rugged heritage of Sardegna, and a career now anchored in Japan, Angelino brings a truly global perspective to the screen, stage and through the microphone.
He is an Australian citizen who blends this deep European lineage with a refined, international presence-most recently seen in The Negotiator: Mohammed Bin Rashid (2025). Whether portraying the gravitas of Father Radovan in Hidden Light or Chada in the iconic anime world of NieA under 7, his work is defined by a sophisticated, cross-cultural range suited for high-stakes drama and modern noir.
An international bilingual (English/Japanese) master of craft with a forty-year career spanning Australia, Europe, and Asia, he specialises 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, contemporary acting development with master director Jean-Pierre Mignon, and intensive private vocal tuition with Liz Pascoe. 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 a 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.

Performance Archetypes & Development
Currently developing “All The World’s A Stage,” a cinematic song cycle exploring iconic dramatic archetypes through a series of short films and concert presentations. Key roles include the biblical Saul: Who Would Be King—an unlikely leader destroyed by jealousy and madness, and The Gaijin Samurai—the story of William Adams, a shipwrecked pilot who becomes Anjin Miura, the Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu’s trusted Hatamoto. This project sits alongside a repertoire of definitive leads, including Javert (Les Misérables), The Beast (Beauty & the Beast), and The Phantom (The Phantom of the Opera).
Beyond the stage, he is leading the development of The Gaijin Samurai, a cinematic Japanese period drama. Based on the historical true story of William Adams, this emotional odyssey of survival and redemption follows a shipwrecked English pilot whose unexpected alliance with the powerful Shōgun (Tokugawa Ieyasu) forces him to master a foreign code of honour to survive the treacherous political landscape of 1600s Japan.

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. He is an avid bodyboarder, a persistent (though invariably over-par) golfer, and a dedicated user of vintage and antique typewriters—his daily favorite being a 1925 Underwood 3-Bank. He shares his life and home with his wife and best friend—the foundation of his creative journey—alongside a rotating cast of occasional rescue pets.
CHARACTER MODEL
Stills & Global Brand Representation
Angelino is a command-level, high-status presence for international luxury and corporate sectors.
Defined by a striking, edgy vitality, his aesthetic centers on a distinctive, epic red beard—a powerful visual signature that, combined with curated ink, shaved head and piercings, creates a high-impact “Modern-Artisan” persona.
He offers a sharp, contemporary silhouette that is a primary asset for flagship Billboard campaigns and Luxury Digital Media.
From serving as a Signature Brand Voice to his work as a Photographic Model for heritage brands, Angelino understands the nuance of brand alignment. He brings an arresting, youthful energy to his “Global Pedigree,” bridging the gap between high-end luxury and bold, modern editorial trends.
Whether as a Campaign Spokesperson or the face of a Luxury Sector narrative, he delivers a seasoned, “hero” imagery presence—a unique “East-meets-West” character with a visual edge that commands attention in both high-end editorial and global commercial markets.

His approach is rooted in a deep respect for the mechanics of storytelling, blending technical production rigour with the psychological nuance of a seasoned performer.
Angelino’s portfolio spans scripted narrative and documentary across both stage and screen, notably serving as the Writer, Director, and Producer for the short film series We Met Online, Director and Producer for the short film Incisor, for which he also acted as Script Consultant., and Director and Producer for the dance film Frenzy.
His international production experience includes a tenure as Japan Unit Producer and Director for the historical documentary The Negotiator, commissioned by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum / Media Prima, Dubai.
At the intersection of live media and global crisis, Angelino was the first broadcaster in Japan to break the news of the September 11 attacks. Serving Tokyo’s international community via InterFM, he orchestrated and anchored a high-pressure 14-hour live broadcast—arranging immediate audio feeds from the Associated Press, securing updates from the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, and managing live crosses to New York as the Twin Towers collapsed.
A dedicated collaborator in the development of new work, he also provides high-level Script Consultation, Story Editing, and Cross-Cultural Advisory for international projects.
