In 2012, Angela cast Billy Dee Williams and Lynn Whitfield in the movie, "The Trace," and then after was signed by the Filmtrix Agency for casting representation.

Since then, Angela has cast several films, web series, short films, and was hired to attach main cast for a $13M feature film, including a William Morris repped actor along with other prominent talent.

 

Prior to her transition into casting, Angela worked as a talent agent at RPM Talent Agency, one of Hollywood’s boutique SAG-franchised agencies whose TV credits include booking actors on "Ugly Betty," "Zoey 101," "My Name is Earl," "Everybody Hates Chris." Angela repped actors, models, and music artists such as Prodigal Sunn (Wu-tang Clan) and TeeJay (Mr. Windy City). In addition, she also ran the agency’s print modeling and youth departments.
