Biography

She attended Selwyn College, in Kohimarama Auckland.

Show Biz Career

She first came to prominence in New Zealand’s longest running soap opera "Shortland Street" playing the character of Kirsty Knight.

She was one of the original cast for the programme, which started in 1992. At the time, Shortland Street was a private hospital, and Kirsty was one of the two receptionists. Later she moved ‘upstairs’, where she became PA to the clinic’s medical director.

American audiences were introduced to Angela by her roles in the "" series and the Hercules spin-off show "Young Hercules". Her popularity from these roles helped her land a starring role opposite Bruce Campbell in the short-lived television series "Jack of All Trades".

Subsequently, she has appeared as Auckland private investigator Jodie Keane in a trilogy of made-for-TV thrillers: 'Lawless' (1999, New Zealand), 'Lawless: Dead Evidence' (2000, New Zealand) and 'Lawless: Beyond Justice' (2001, New Zealand).
