Top 10 Michael Angelis Performances

  • Update: I'm sure like everyone right now I was absolutely devastated to hear the news of Michael Angelis' passing in May 2020. I made this video as a tribute to his work outside of Thomas & Friends, and since his untimely death I now see it as an obituary of sorts. The wonderful comments and tributes I've seen myself just show how much of an impact he made on all of us, and like any Thomas fan out there I hope to keep his memory alive with this video. But regardless of what you make of this, I think we can all agree that Michael Angelis was voice of the childhood's of many people around the world, and will continue to do so long into the future. Hope you enjoy it
    Original video description below:
    This underrated British actor sure has had his fair share of interesting roles. Join Stuie 101 as we count down our picks for Michael Angelis' top 10 performances.
    Ok, so Watchmojo parody aside, this is a little project I've been working on in my free time for a couple of years now. I got the inspiration after discovering that if I tried to search for any Michael Angelis related content on Google or RUclips, not a whole lot comes up. There's not a whole lot of interviews or new stories about his career and where it has taken him, it's mainly all fan made Thomas & Friends related content! I decided that his roles and contributions to British TV and movies over the last nearly 50 years deserved a closer look, and after being inspired by the work of a RUclipsr called Brandon Hardesty and his channel 'The Back Focus', I decided to get to work. After all, there's more to Michael Angelis than just Thomas & Friends.
    With the help of his IMDB page, and by making a number of purchases of some rather hard to get content (mainly from EBay and Amazon), which I then watched all in their entirety, I came up with a list of what I consider to be Michael Angelis' top 10 performances. Of course, this is all a matter of perspective, and I'm sure there are other performances of his which may be arguably better than what I have listed (some of which I could not get any footage of), but I like to think these performances are the highlights of his career. Hope you enjoy!

    15:48 - Correction, Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends was not broadcast on the BBC originally!
    Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the show.
    16:55 - Another Correction is that Ringo Starr did the first two seasons of the show, and Michael Angelis did the following fourteen seasons, minus The Great Discovery.

    I loved Michael Angelis as the Narrator of 'Thomas & Friends'. I also loved his performance of Martin Donnelly in 'The Bill' episode 'Good Cop Bad Cop' from 2007.I also remember a very funny classic line from 'The Liver Birds' when he says "She's worried what might happen when you turn the page." (I think that's how the line goes).
