His film work includes "My Animal" (2023) and, most recently, Amalia Ulman's 2025 absurdist comedy "Magic Farm," where he plays Justin, a sound engineer for the misguided American documentary crew.Apollonio is known for his engaging screen presence and comedic timing, often playing characters that are slightly out of their depth or comically oblivious.

A self-declared member of the "Weird Kids Club," Apollonio is also openly bisexual and has discussed his preference for challenging queer roles that go beyond heteronormative portrayals.
