Michael Angelis (born 18 January 1952) is an English actor and voice actor. He is the younger brother of fellow actor Paul Angelis.
Angelis trained at the College of Dramatic Art, Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Glasgow, where, inter alia, he played roles in Brendan Behan's The Hostage and The Zykovs by Maxim Gorky. He was featured in Boys from the Black Stuff (1982) and G.B.H..
Angelis appeared in comedies such as The Liver Birds (1975–78) and Luv (1993–94), and films such as A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (1979) and No Surrender (1985). In 1983, he appeared at the Manchester Royal Exchange in Harold Pinter's 'The Caretaker'. He was a villain in the revived television series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (2002), alongside former fellow Black Stuff star Alan Igbon. He narrated the Thomas & Friends TV series (UK version) from 1991 to 2012, when he took over from Ringo Starr.
He narrated John Peel's autobiography, Margrave of the Marshes, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2005. In 2006, he starred in Fated, a film set in Liverpool, as well as in episodes of Midsomer Murders and The Bill in 2007. In September 2011, he participated in the BBC Radio 4 programme The Reunion talking with others cast members about his roles in the Boys from the Blackstuff.
Thomas and the Magic Railroad is a 2000 British-American-Canadian adventure fantasy film based on the British TV series Thomas & Friends, The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry, and the American TV series Shining Time Station. The film was co-produced by Gullane Entertainment (a wholly owned subsidiary of Mattel since 2012) and the Isle of Man Film Commission and distributed by Destination Films (a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment). It was written, produced and directed by Britt Allcroft. When it was first released in the U.K. where critics were unfamiliar with the characters from Shining Time Station, the film was accused of "Americanizing" Thomas. Critical reception in the U.S. was somewhat better, but still mostly negative, in stark contrast to the praise given to the original Shining Time Station, which was an award-winning show. Since the film's release, various specials based on Thomas & Friends have been released, although they are not directly related to this film. This is Mara Wilson's final film appearance to date.
Angelis was a British classical singing group created by Simon Cowell. It was initially formed in early 2006 and was made up of six children, who were then aged between 11 and 14. The children were discovered during nationwide auditions led by Ron Corp and from recommendations and contacts with some UK choirs, including the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and New London Children's Choir.
Their eponymous debut album was released on 6 November 2006. It sold over 350,000 copies and reached platinum status reaching number two on the UK album charts and Number one on the Scottish album charts. The group members received a platinum disc on GMTV. In early 2007 Simon Cowell fired the six children partly as a result of complications with a planned overseas tour.
Michael /ˈmaɪkəl/ is a male given name that comes from the Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל (Mīkhāʼēl, pronounced [miχaˈʔel]), derived from the question מי כאל mī kāʼēl, meaning "Who is like God?" (literally, "Who is like El?). In English, it is sometimes shortened to Mike, Mikey, Mickey, or Mick.
Female forms of Michael include Michelle, Michele, Michaela, Mechelle, Micheline, and Michaelle, although Michael is occasionally seen as a female name; women named Michael include actresses Michael Learned and Michael Michele. Another form is Mychal, which can either be a male or female name.
Patronymic surnames that come from Michael include Michaels, Carmichael, MacMichael, McMichael, Micallef, Michaelson, Mikkelsen, DiMichele, Mikhaylov, Mykhaylenko, Mikeladze, Michels, and Mitchell.
The name first appears in the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Numbers, 13:13 where Sethur the son of Michael is one of 12 spies sent into the Land of Canaan. The archangel Michael features in the Book of Daniel 12:1, and in the Qur'an as Mikhail.
A tank locomotive or tank engine is a steam locomotive that carries its water in one or more on-board water tanks, instead of a more traditional tender. A tank engine may also have a bunker (or oil tank) to hold fuel. There are several different types of tank locomotive, distinguished by the position and style of the water tanks and fuel bunkers. The most common type has tanks mounted either side of the boiler. This type originated about 1840 and quickly became popular for industrial tasks, and later for shunting and shorter distance main line duties. Tank locomotives have advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional tender locomotives.
The first tank locomotive was the Novelty that ran at the Rainhill Trials in 1829. It was an example of a Well Tank. However, the more common form of Side tank date from the 1840s; one of the first of these was supplied by George England and Co. of New Cross to the contractors building the Newhaven, Sussex branch line for the London Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1848. In spite of the early belief that such locomotives were inherently unsafe, the idea quickly caught on, particularly for industrial use and five manufacturers exhibited designs at The Great Exhibition in 1851. These were E. B. Wilson and Company, William Fairbairn & Sons, George England, Kitson Thompson and Hewitson and William Bridges Adams. By the mid-1850s tank locomotives were to be found performing a variety of main line and industrial roles, particularly those involving shorter journeys or frequent changes in direction.
You asked for it, thought I might as well do it. Here's the menagerie of sounds conceived by the longest-standing T&F; narrator.

As some fans may be aware, long serving UK narrator Michael Angelis was originally set to voice Percy and James in Thomas & The Magic Railroad. Not long before release, he was replaced when test audiences suggested he made the characters sound too old. I thought it would be fun to see how Mr. Angelis would have sounded alongside the other voice actors, so here I've dubbed James lines from various TV episodes into this clip to make a coherent scene. http://restorethemagic.org/ https://www.change.org/p/sony-pictures-entertainment-release-the-director-s-cut-of-thomas-and-the-magic-railroad https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/37460-reawaken-the-magic?locale=en

SUBSCRIBE http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=kirbopher15 Did you know about the voice actors behind Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends? These days, each of the famous talking steam engines has their own unique voice in the CG-animated series...but it wasn't always that way! When the series was still being done with model trains, incredible narrators like Ringo Starr and George Carlin were the "voices" of ALL Thomas characters! Everything changed for when the Magic Railway feature film came around, but you'd be surprised to hear that Japan was a bit ahead of English-speaking countries when it came to individualized actors for each character! Peep-Peep! This'll teach you a lesson! Originally inspired by "Did You Know Gaming?" https://www.youtube.com/DYKGaming Audio masterin...

Following on from his piano performance, Elio de Angelis and Michele Alboreto are interviewed on live German Television for the programme Sportstudio alongside Michele Alboreto, Clay Regazzoni, Keke Rosberg and Nelson Piquet. http://www.eliodeangelis.info
NOTE:This is MY opinion if you prefer George Carlin that is perfectly fine So i've heard from many people that George Carlin is WAY more enthusiastic than Ringo Starr but there are many clips were Ringo is the more enthusiastic one here is the proof Remember this is MY opinion and if you still prefer George i'll respect that i might also make Michael Angelis VS George Carlin video if this video is successful

Well, I have officially been on YouTube for 10 years... sooooooo, I thought I'd make a new version of the Chronicles special, this time an (almost) all English version, which is essentially my authentic experience with Thomas and Friends, from 1993 to 2016. When I discovered everything, it involved Ringo Starr, Michael Angelis, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin... and if I'm brutally honest, I think this may be my favourite version of Chronicles, and possibly my favourite compilation overall. Episodes featured: Troublesome Trucks (Ringo Starr) Down The Mine (Ringo Starr) Duck Takes Charge (Ringo Starr) Edward, Gordon and Henry (Ringo Starr) Trust Thomas (Michael Angelis) The Runaway (Ringo Starr) You Can't Win (Michael Angelis) Thomas We Love You (song) Percy Runs Away (Ringo Starr) Horrid ...
