Angelis was born on January 18, 1944 in Liverpool, England. He went on to train at the College of Dramatic Art at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Glasgow. He began to appear in television during the early 1970s, with roles that included Coronation Street, Z-Cars, and The Liverbirds. Outside of the Thomas franchise, he is perhaps best known for portraying Chrissie Todd in the five-episode 1982 miniseries Boys from the Black Stuff. He then made appearances in The Professionals, Bergerac, Bread, and The Russ Abbot Show, before going on to star in the miniseries G.B.H.
Angelis’ other television credits include Wail of the Banshee, Luv, Between the Lines, Boon, Common as Muck, A Touch of Frost, Midsomer Murders, The Bill, and Good Cop. He also appeared in a handful of films, including A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, George and Mildred, and No Surrender. He narrated the Thomas movies Hero of the Rails, Misty Island Rescue, and Day of the Diesels. He also voiced characters for three Thomas video games.
Angelis was married to Coronation Street actress Helen Worth for nearly ten years, with the couple ultimately divorcing in 2001. He married his second wife, a Welsh model named Jennifer Khalastchi, that same year.
