Landing one of the top jobs on Wall Street, he soon learned that he could not ignore his true desire. Being so close to the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1992, it became apparent to Mr. Angelotti that life was too short to not pursue his dreams.

Immersing himself diligently in studying the craft for several years, he soon began working as a professional actor. He has appeared on several different television programs including Coach, Blossom, and JAG, to name a few; and was a recurring character on NYPD Blue.

As a result, his producing career was born out of necessity. He began this aspect of his career with the play Vespers Eve at the Gardner Stages in Hollywood, California, which then lead to co-producing his first feature film on 16mm. Mr. Angelotti, along with Steven Langa, then decided to co-write and star in their full-length feature project "You Got Nothin' ". The script received praise from several top talent agencies as well as a number of top production companies ~ but still nobody would consider undertaking the project without "name talent" in the lead roles. There was really no choice but to do it independently. Angelotti was chosen to be part of Panavision's First Time Filmmaker Program. Utilizing his prior business knowledge and years of on-set experience, Mr. Angelotti produced the project along with the help of co-producer Steven Langa. This large undertaking resulted in thirty-two days of principle photography in three states and seven cities, with a crew consisting of people from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. With a keen sense of the technical aspects of directing, along with years of acting experience and on-set knowledge, Philip Angelotti, Jr. made his directorial debut with the award-winning project "You Got Nothin' ".
