Born in Erandio, Biscay, Angulo made his feature film debut in Imanol Uribe's Escape from Segovia (1981),[1] portraying Anot.[2]

Angulo died on 20 July 2014 at the age of 61 when the vehicle in which he was travelling veered from a road near Fuenmayor, La Rioja.[3][4] At that moment he was going to the filming of Bendita calamidad.[5] Then he was replaced by Luis Varela.[6] The Spanish director Mikel Rueda dedicated his film Hidden Away to Angulo posthumously.[7]
