Born in London, England, Angel attended Heathfield High School for Girls in Harrow, Middlesex, England, before being discovered at age 16 while out shopping in London with her mother by a Ford model agent. During her modeling stint, Angel appeared on the covers of such magazines as Vogue and Cosmopolitan.
Her first movie role was in the 1985 American comedy, Spies Like Us, in which she played a soldier in the Soviet Strategic Missile Forces. Her role was largely "eye candy" in the movie, as she appeared prominently in underwear in scenes. In 1995, Angel was cast in the role of Xena, originally intended to be a three-episode guest arc on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Due to illness, she was unable to fly to New Zealand to begin filming. Ultimately, the role went to Lucy Lawless.
In 1998, Angel landed a part in Kissing a Fool with David Schwimmer, followed by a role in the 1999 film, There's Something About Mary. In 2004, she appeared in Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, as Scott Baio's wife.Angel has also had roles in Sabretooth, The Perfect Score and Kingpin.
In addition to film work, Angel has also appeared in television. In 1994, she starred in the television series Weird Science. The show ran for four seasons. In 2000, she guest starred in three episodes of Stargate SG-1. Angel played the role of Tok'ra archaeologist/scientist Freya, whose symbiote is named Anise. Her first appearance is in the Season 4 episode "Upgrades", and she appeared in the two following episodes, "Crossroads" and "Divide and Conquer".
In 2005, Angel played herself in the Season 2 episode of Entourage titled "I Love You Too". According to the storyline, she had a three episode guest appearance alongside Johnny Drama in the sci-fi series Viking Quest. While the series folded after one season, Angel went on to star in a spin-off series, Angel Quest, which, according to the episode, ran "five times" longer than Viking Quest. When she and Drama are reunited at a comics convention, they fight and then reconcile in the form of a passionate kiss - all to the applause of the convention floor. |
