Early life

edit

D'Angelo was born in Toronto to Italian immigrants Giuseppe and Carmela D'Angelo.[1] His father owned Napoli Foods.[2] The younger D'Angelo showed an interest in business at an early age: at age 9 he outsourced his newspaper delivery of the Toronto Telegram to other children. He had many sales positions, sometimes concurrently. He purchased his first home at age 20. D'Angelo started in the food industry working for his father until Napoli was sold to Saputo.

Business career

edit

Food and beverage interests

edit

D'Angelo brands

edit

D'Angelo is founder and president of D'Angelo Brands, Inc., which produces and markets beverages and some canned food items in Canada. It started in 1986 by selling apple juice door-to-door,[3] and the company quickly grew to success with the financial backing of Canadian politician Al Palladini. His company filed for credit protection in late 2007. On February 16, 2008, a numbered company owned by D'Angelo's family bought back D'Angelo Brands.[4] Cheetah Power Surge is an energy drink produced by D'Angelo Brands. In one commercial, he interviewed Ben Johnson in a pretend talk show titled 'Being Frank',[5] which would later become the title of his actual talk show.

Steelback

edit

In September 2002, he started and was the CEO of Steelback Brewery.[6] Steelback commercials from 2002 to 2007 always starred Frank D'Angelo and presented him as a known celebrity (although he was relatively unknown) and the face of Steelback. He has said that "I am the Brand". Steelback invested around $15M per year on advertising. The ads were often shown in high-cost slots during Hockey Night In Canada broadcasts. Hockey related spots starred him and hockey celebrities such as Shayne Corson, Darcy Tucker and Phil Esposito.[5] He was replaced after the company's financial problems in late 2007. By 2010, the Steelback Brewery was closed.

D'Angelo was criticized for his running of Steelback after reportedly racking up more than $120 million in debt, largely for advertising campaigns featuring himself with sports celebrities, before filing for bankruptcy protection from Steelback's list of more than 400 creditors, including Bernard Sherman's Apotex, Mike Cecere's advertising and marketing firms, the Toronto Argos, the Ottawa 67's, bars, small market teams and sports clubs and a few charities.[7] When Steelback went into receivership, D'Angelo had continued to spend $15 million per year on advertising despite only taking in revenues of $3 million per year.[8] He owed more than $100 million, plus another $20 million plus, to Barry Sherman's Wasanda Enterprises alone.[9][10]

Canadian Business magazine described the Steelback operation as "a mistake from start to finish" not only due to mismanagement on the marketing front but poor packaging choices and the inconsistent quality of its beers.[11]

Restaurateur

edit

D'Angelo owned the Forget About It Supper Club restaurant on King Street in Toronto.[12] He taped his talk show, The Being Frank Show with Frank D'Angelo in its basement, which he had turned into a studio, for five seasons before moving to his InYourEar Studios in Mississauga for another eight seasons. The restaurant has since closed. D'Angelo had owned it for 17 years.

Sports

edit

In 2006, the company purchased the naming rights to the Steelback Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, the new home of the Ontario Hockey League Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds for $1.35 million over 10 years,[13] a fee that went largely unpaid.[14]

In early 2006 he expressed interest in reviving the Canadian Football League's Ottawa Renegades[15] and renaming them the Ottawa Steelbacks but the league rejected him as an owner,[16] with media speculating it was because he was "egotistical" and a "shameless publicity hound".[17]

On December 18, 2006, D'Angelo declared an interest in buying the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL hockey team with his partner Barry Sherman.[18]

In 2011, D'Angelo sparred with MMA fighter Francis Carmont, and a segment about the fight aired on Being Frank.[19][20]

In March 2012, D'Angelo launched a sports-themed media website called Next Sport Star[21] where he hosts a weekly show with Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Phil Esposito and former Toronto Maple Leafs assistant general manager Bill Watters. The site was backed by the late Canadian pharmaceutical billionaire Bernard Sherman, who also backed D'Angelo in his Steelback Brewery enterprise.[22]

Politics

edit

After Toronto's Mayor John Tory stepped down in February, 2023, D'Angelo issued a press release announcing that he would be running in the 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election.[23] His announced platform included six issues: improving the city's infrastructure, improving the city's transit system, improving climate change, getting homelessness to a much better place, increasing affordable housing, and improving the city's safety.[23]

He finished 26th out of a record field of 102 candidates, with 343 votes (0.05%), in the election on June 26.[24] That night he tweeted to thank his supporters and congratulate his fellow candidates including the winner, Olivia Chow. [25]

He released a recording of "Silent Night" in November 2009, with an RnB vocal style. Profits from sales went to support Toronto charities which help the homeless.[35] D'Angelo has also been an active volunteer to help the city's homeless.[36]

Movies

edit

He has written, produced, directed, scored and starred in nine feature-length films through his company, In Your Ear Productions. Distribution is through iTunes, Amazon and various vod worldwide. Canadian & American cable companies.[22] His first film Real Gangsters was released in 2013. Followed by "The Big Fat Stone" and "No Deposit".

In 2019 he appeared in a supporting acting role in Kire Paputts' film The Last Porno Show.[46] D'Angelo is working on a new project, delayed by Covid-19.

Style and approach

edit

D'Angelo is a self-trained film maker. He shoots on a very tight shooting schedule, often using multiple cameras and angles, allowing him to shoot close-ups and wide shots in the same take.[22] He employs a recurring cast of actors including Tony Nardi, Daniel Baldwin, Jason Blicker, John Ashton, Alyson Court, and Art Hindle.[47] He also tends to uses big name guest stars. Past films have included Margot Kidder, James Caan, Paul Sorvino and Martin Landau.

Criticism

edit

D'Angelo utilizes four wall distribution, and small releases in region theater chains, wherein he and/or co-investors (notably his friend/business partner Barry Sherman) pay to both produce his films and also rent select large market movie screens on which to screen them. Some former Hollywood stars' expenses were paid with cash[48][49] to appear alongside D'Angelo in what Cracked.com describes as "the world's most expensive celebrity selfie".[50] He also submits his films to various indy film festivals which have questionable legitimacy; for example, he has won 14 awards at the Action on Film Film Festival.[51] For his methods, D'Angelo has been described as a "particularly egregious" character in the industry.[52]

Some critics have savaged his film Sicilian Vampire.[53][54]

James Caan
edit

After appearing in D'Angelo's Sicilian Vampire, James Caan did not attend its premiere and later claimed he only worked for the "dubiously talented" filmmaker out of a desperate need for cash caused by legal issues related to his divorce.[52] Caan referred to his appearance in the movie as a humiliation in court, saying he'd rather die broke than be reduced to doing another D'Angelo film.[50][55] However, he did in fact later appear in another D'Angelo feature two years later, 2017's The Red Maple Leaf.[56]

Controversies

edit

Sexual assault allegations

edit

On June 9, 2007, D'Angelo was arrested in the alleged sexual assault of the 21-year-old daughter of a business associate.[57][58] He admitted to having had sexual intercourse with the woman but claimed she initiated it,[59] and was acquitted on April 21, 2009.[60] Justice John Hamilton said he found the evidence of both D'Angelo and his accuser credible. But in handing down his ruling, Hamilton added D'Angelo "may be" or is "probably" guilty of the crime.[61]

Obstruction of Justice allegations

edit

Several days after being acquitted, D'Angelo hosted a party at his Forget About It Supper Club. An Ontario Provincial Police surveillance team took photographs showing veteran Ontario Provincial Police sergeant Michael Rutigliano, and two crown attorneys, Richard Bennett and Domenic Basile, present at the same celebration.[62] On May 14, Rutigliano was charged with attempting to influence the outcome of the case.[63] He was accused of conspiring with D'Angelo to obstruct the prosecution of the case.[64] D'Angelo was charged the next day with conspiring to obstruct justice and obstructing justice.[65] He was to appear in court on June 8, 2009, in Brampton,[66] and his case was adjourned until May 31, 2010.[67] On September 2, 2010, the obstruction charges against D'Angelo were stayed permanently.[68]

Libel suit

edit

In June 2007, D'Angelo launched a $2 million libel suit against blogger Neate Sager for an unrelated posting on Sager's blog site. D'Angelo dropped the suit when Sager posted an apology.[69][70]

Mike Zigomanis lawsuit

edit

After former Toronto Maple Leafs player Mike Zigomanis was demoted to the club's minor league affiliate, and nude photos he had sent to an ex-girlfriend surfaced online, D'Angelo released Zigomanis as a "brand ambassador" for Cheetah energy drinks citing the morals clause in his contract. Zigomanis sued D'Angelo for breach of contract and won a $262,500 settlement in November 2016.[71][72][73][74]

Death of Barry Sherman

edit

D'Angelo has been cited as a potential suspect in the unsolved murder of his long-time busienss partner Barry Sherman.[75] In an October 2018 Bloomberg News article, D'Angelo said "The worst thing that could have happened to Frank D'Angelo is Barry dying" and expressed regret that he had not been able to save a man he regarded as a close friend.[76]
