Born in Milan, the son of a Neapolitan father and a Florentine mother, at 9 years old D'Angelo was part of the Voci Bianche choir at La Scala.[2] After studying law at the University of Milan, in 1941 he started working on radio and shortly later as a film dubber.[2] In 1947 he made his stage debut at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, under Giorgio Strehler.[2] In the 1950s he worked several times in the theatrical company of Vittorio Gassman, and in 1958 he formed a stage company together with Lia Zoppelli and Renzo Giovampietro.[2]

Between 1963 and 1964, he got large critical acclaim for his performance in Il diavolo e il buon Dio, under the direction of Luigi Squarzina.[2] D'Angelo was also active in films, where alternated major and character roles, and on television, where he had several significant roles in a number of TV-series.[2] D'Angelo was also diction teacher at the Silvio d’Amico Academy of Dramatic Arts and recorded several albums of prose and poetry.

As a voice actor, D'Angelo provided the voice of Shere Khan in The Jungle Book and Jesus Christ in the italian political comedy I 2 deputati.
