Angelo is a minor character in Touchstone's 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He is played by Richard Ridings.

Personality

However, he enjoys the antics of Roger Rabbit and when Judge Doom comes looking for Roger at the bar, Angelo defends Roger and shows great sadness when Judge Doom is getting ready to kill him with the Dip.

Eddie describes Angelo as the guy who "would rat on you for nickel". However, he also has kind side, as shown when he comforts a bar customer that Judge Doom harassed.

Role in the film
Angelo is not an important character and plays no major role. He often spends time at the bar. He is first seen when he overhears that Eddie was hired by R.K. Maroon. Angelo starts to poke fun at Eddie, provoking Eddie into berating him and stuffing an eggshell in his mouth. Angelo recovers and asks about Eddie's short-tempered behavior. Dolores, the bar's waitress and Eddie's girlfriend tells him that his brother Teddy was killed by a Toon, shocking him.

Later, Angelo is enjoying a song-and-dance performance by Roger Rabbit at the bar before Eddie cuts it off. Judge Doom shows up shortly after looking for Roger. He makes a tempting offer that Angelo whistles at. The then says he has seen a rabbit, about to spill the beans, but then turns to the stool behind him and jokingly says "Well, say hello...Harvey." and laughs at the way Judge Doom fell for it. Doom finds Roger anyway and prepares to dip him. Angelo takes his hat off in respect. Luckily, Eddie, remembering a trick earlier in the film, gives Roger at shot glass of bourbon which causes Roger to go out of control and escape. Angelo is not seen for the remainder of the film.
