==Biography==

===Early life and military service=== Leonard George Thiele was born in [[Brisbane]], [[Queensland]], to Maude Henrietta Thiele, née Rasmussen, and Herman Albert Thiele, a chemist. He attended [[Milton State School|Milton State Primary School]] and [[Brisbane Grammar School]] (1934–38) on a scholarship. However, the family's financial situation during the [[Great Depression]] forced Leonard to leave school and enter the workforce. He worked as a junior clerk for [[Brisbane City Council]]'s [[Energex|Electricity Supply Department]]. In his spare time, he took up amateur drama, with local repertory groups. From the age of 17, he augmented these activities with a role as a part-time radio announcer, after successfully auditioning at the [[Australian Broadcasting Commission]] (ABC) in Brisbane.

Following the outbreak of World War II, Thiele joined the [[Australian Army Reserve|Militia]] and served as a signaller. Interested in becoming a pilot, he transferred to the [[Royal Australian Air Force]] (RAAF) on 10 October 1942. He graduated from flying school the following year and was [[commissioned officer|commissioned as officer]]. In 1944, Thiele was posted to the [[Mediterranean, Middle East and African theatres of World War II|Mediterranean theatre]], where he served with [[No. 458 Squadron RAAF]], a [[maritime patrol]]/[[maritime strike|strike]] unit, flying [[Vickers Wellington]]s, from bases at [[Foggia]], Italy, and [[Gibraltar]]. He was promoted to [[Flight Lieutenant]] in September 1945 and was discharged on 16 January 1946, after returning to Australia. ==Career== ===Radio serials=== Thiele's career as a professional actor commenced in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in radio serials; his roles included that of [[Superman]]/[[Clark Kent]] and [[Tarzan]].

Thiele was a co-compère of the radio [[Argonauts' Club|ABC Children's Session]], as "Chris" from 1951 to 1954 (also playing the title role in its ''[[Muddle-Headed Wombat]]'' serial), his involvement possibly cut short by management for political reasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://beyondrightandleft.com.au/archives/history/index.html |title=Beyond Right and Left |publisher=Beyond Right and Left|accessdate=13 March 2013}}</ref> At this time he was still using the surname "Thiele" professionally.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article27257417|title=8 September 1954 - Cabinet Sees Royal Visit Film |newspaper=Mercury |date=8 September 1954 |publisher=Trove.nla.gov.au|accessdate=13 March 2013}}</ref>

He also made regular appearances in radio variety programs such as the ''Bonnington's Bunkhouse Show'', and voiceovers in countless commercials.

===PACT===

His talent was nurtured and developed at the [[PACT Centre for Emerging Artists|Producers Authors Composers and Talent Centre]], which was founded in 1964.<ref name=ar2020>{{cite web | title=PACT Centre for Emerging Artists facing an uncertain future | website=Australian Arts Review | date=25 August 2020 | url=https://artsreview.com.au/pact-centre-for-emerging-artists-facing-an-uncertain-future/ | access-date=10 May 2022}}</ref>

===Films=== He appeared in several feature films, including ''[[Smiley (1956 film)|Smiley]]'', ''[[Smiley Gets a Gun]]'' and ''[[Bungala Boys]]''.

In the early 1950s, with [[Raymond Hanson (composer)|Raymond Hanson]], Roland Robinson and others, Thiele helped form the short-lived '''Australian Cultural Defence Movement''', aimed at protecting local arts and crafts production from the perceived inroads being made by imported content, particularly from the US. However, the movement faltered after becoming a target of anti-communist activists,<ref>{{cite book| last=John| first=Peter| chapter-url=https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hanson-raymond-charles-10421|title=Raymond Charles Hanson profile: Australian Dictionary of Biography| chapter=Hanson, Raymond Charles (1913–1976)|publisher=Adb.online.anu.edu.au|access-date=13 March 2013}}</ref> (His brother, [[Neville Thiele]], was also targeted, for participating in left-wing theatre.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://roughreds.com/twopdf/healy2.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007000233/http://roughreds.com/twopdf/healy2.pdf|url-status=usurped|archive-date=7 October 2008|title=Connie Healy: Women in Radical Theatre in Brisbane|publisher=Roughreds.com|accessdate=13 March 2013}}</ref>)

===TV presenter and actor=== Major television roles included a regular comedic role in the ''Mobil-Limb Show'', host roles in variety programs ''Singalong'' and ''[[Folkmoot (TV series)|Folkmoot]]'', and acting roles in locally produced drama series including ''[[Whiplash (TV series)|Whiplash]]'', ''[[The Hungry Ones]]'', ''[[Adventure Unlimited ]]'', ''Split Level'' and ''[[Consider Your Verdict]]''.<ref name="split">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.filmink.com.au/forgotten-australian-tv-plays-split-level/|magazine=Filmink|title=Forgotten Australian TV Plays: Split Level|first= Stephen|last= Vagg|date=May 21, 2021|access-date=August 9, 2024}}</ref> He is best remembered, however, for his long-running role<ref>Originally Teale had been signed for 13 episodes, but went on to become the longest-serving series regular (357 episodes).</ref> as Senior Detective (later Detective Sergeant) David "Mac" Mackay in ''[[Homicide (Australian TV series)|Homicide]]'' from 1965 to 1973. ''Homicide'' was Australia's first-ever locally produced TV police drama. Teale won a [[Logie Awards of 1974|Logie for best Australian actor]] in 1974. He also hosted a documentary about the series, ''The Homicide Story'', in 1970. Other leading television roles included Captain Woolcott in ''[[Seven Little Australians (TV series)|Seven Little Australians]]'' (1973), and headmaster Charles Ogilvy in school-based soap opera ''[[Class of '74]]'' (1974–75).

===Narrator=== Teale narrated for ABC audio recordings, including the [[Banjo Paterson]] poem ''[[The Man from Snowy River (poem)|The Man from Snowy River]]'', and a spoken-word version of the Led Zeppelin song "[[Stairway to Heaven]]" on ABC-TV's ''[[The Money or the Gun]]''. His reading of [[Dorothea Mackellar]]'s poem "[[My Country]]", which included the lines "I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains" was so widely played in Australia during the 1970s that it was also frequently parodied.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}}
