Jack Angeles

Jack Angeles is an actor best known for his role as Mr. Tuttle, a high school teacher, on Saved By The Bell. Angeles was born in Albany New York and attended Holy Cross College. After college, he studied law and earned his J.D. from the prestigious New York University. Angeles initially planned on pursuing a career as a Wall Street attorney. However, after graduation he visited a friend and former NYU classmate who was practicing Entertainment Law in Los Angeles at the time. The sister of that friend was a casting director who helped convince Jack Angeles to move to Los Angeles. Jack Angeles spent his first two years in Los Angeles working a talent agent representing various actors and actresses. He took the California Bar Exam and after passing and being admitted to the California Bar, worked as a production attorney for Columbia Pictures Television and then eventually transitioned over to acting.

Angeles has had small roles in various TV shows and movies, including Falcon Crest, Growing Pains, Mousehunt, as well as a substantial role in the 1993 TV movie, Rubdown. Despite having numerous acting roles, there can be no doubt that Angeles is best known for his role as the morbidly obese Mr. Tuttle on Saved By The Bell.

Mr. Tuttle taught several classes, including Driver's Ed, and was also an advisor to the Glee Club. The Driver's Education episode of Saved By The Bell was particularly memorable because for some unexplained reason, Mr. Tuttle taught Driver's Ed with a golf cart in the middle of a Bayside High School classroom. Even more unusual was the fact that the golf cart only had three wheels!



The Tuttle character was an incredibly underutilized asset on Saved By The Bell. Mr. Tuttle was only used in maybe 5 episodes, but generally stole the scenes in which he appeared. In the Driver's Education episode, he utter the memorable line to A.C. Slater, "Pushy, pushy, move your tushy!"

Tuttle was close to the students at Bayside and occasionally schemed with both the students and with Principal Belding (played by fellow washed-up actor Dennis Haskins).

Unfortunately, the acting roles dried up for Jack Angeles after the original run of Saved By The Bell ended. Although Angeles did have a substantial role in Rubdown, it is clear that his acting career is over. Although I thought he was great as Mr. Tuttle on Saved By The Bell, it is obvious that Jack Angeles is one washed up celebrity!



***Update - May 10, 2009***

I am sad to report that Jack Angeles passed away suddenly and peacefully following a recent brief hospitalization. All kidding aside, Jack's "Mr. Tuttle" character was one of the most memorable on Saved By The Bell and brought joy to fans of the show. He will be missed.

Jack's birthname was "John J. Cangilos." Jack was the American Legion Oratorical champion when he was 18 and gave a speech at the Republican National Convention in 1968! His speech was broadcast live on television. Those are certainly impressive accomplishments for someone who was only 18 years old at the time. Here is a picture of a young Jack Angeles:

I'd love to drop a load on his chest and chins! Perhaps one of my all time favorite actors is ole Jack!

I'm sure him and his "partner" would smoke crack and suck homeless cocks.

Or maybe took photos of a naked 14 year old.

Oh, Mr Tuttle. How you've haunted my dreams. I often wonder if he ever went and worked out at the gym between takes and came back without showering then rubbed his smelly taint all over Screech's face while Mr. Belding teabagged the little zoinker.

Everybody on SBTB is washed-up.

Hey, is it true that Jack Angeles was a chronic masturbator who enjoyed exposing himself to male cast and crew members on the rowdy SBTB set? I heard that his antics were responsible for many a flubbed take.

Fuck sake, this guy has passed away and there are still hateful and disgusting comments made about him. Why don't you trolls focus your energy on something else.

I loved his acting. Unfortunately hes dead, but if he was still alive, I would've loved to date him. He had an awesome great sense of humor. As for these negative comments, they are a bunch of followers. One posts something negative, and they all jump in the wagon. As for me, I am not afraid of being a leader! *finger*

He died of a semen overdose it was his fault, I was an extra on saved by the bell, and he told me to meet him in the bathroom, I did and he wanted me to deficate on him or I would never work in hollywood again. Long story short I didn't take a dump on him and that was my last acting role.

I did love his character on saved by the bell and I too am angered they didn't make him a regular on that show. Sadly however, I will never have the opportunity to spread my man goo all over his big flabby man boobies like Mario Lopez probably did.

Leather fetish, that is what I think this guy is all about.

Terry McGee said...

He was the poor mans John Candy! I heard a rumor that most of the cast thought that they were too good to talk to Jack before and after filming. It might be or not be true. Who knows.
