Born in the tiny town of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Angell Conwell began her journey at a very young age. After winning countless pageants locally, she signed with Wilhelmina's Kids Division in New York at the age of 10. Angell enjoyed modeling but yearned for more of a challenge. She begged for her parents permission to audition for a role in August Wilson's highly acclaimed, "Fences". She landed the role and quickly realized, pursuing an acting career was exactly what she would set out to do.
At age 11, Angell and her mother packed their bags and headed to Los Angeles for pilot season. During their last scheduled week of stay, she booked the CBS/Disney pilot "On our Own". Although, the pilot wasn't picked up, the network noticed this vibrant young actress and soon moved her back to Hollywood to star as Meshach Taylor's daughter on the CBS show "Dave's World".
Over the years, she continued to enthusiastically guest star and recur on dozens of hit shows, NYPD Blue, City Guys, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Moesha and 3rd Rock from the Sun, to name a few.
At 17, John Singleton cast Angell in her first silver screen role as Kim in "Baby Boy" sharing the screen with Tyrese, Taraji P. Hensen & Omar Gooding. Immediately after, she began filming the Lions Gate comedic remake "The Wash", and MGM's controversial "Soul Plane" alongside Kevin Hart, Sofia Vergara, & Monique.
Next up for release is National Lampoons Sex Tax: A Comedy Based on a True Story about the first government owned brothel; written and produced by Hollywood vet David Landsberg.
