Game of Thrones star John Bradley also hailed Angelis’ impact on the TV industry.
He said on the micro-blogging platform:
‘To be in both ‘boys from the blackstuff’ and ‘GBH’ is really leaving your mark on telly. He was superb in both. (sic)’.
Angelis last appeared on TV back in 2012, when he starred in Good Cop.
The late actor was married to Coronation Street actress Helen Worth, who plays Gail Platt, from 1991 to 2001.
