Throughout elementary school, junior high, and senior high, he participated in all of the school plays to hone his craft. His first professional experience was to become a member of "The World Wheelers," the first professional uniball team, and demonstrated his unicycling ability on the children's television shows: To Tell the Truth, Wonderama, and Kids are People Too. The professional environment inspired him to pursue theatre. Soon after, Angel appeared in Jim Henson's production of The Muppets as a roller skater. His resulting success in working with Jim Henson and Frank Oz led to the selforiginated role of Rocky IV in the Tony Award winning production of "Starlight Express" at the Gershwin theatre. During his six-year run onBroadway, Angel had the privilege of working closely with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, director Trevor Nunn, and choreographer Arlene Philips, and from these, acquired lifelong skills that would become of great importance throughout the growth of his acting career. Following "Starlight," these skills began to manifest and Angel was asked to join the touring company, which awarded him national as well as international acclaim.view less
