Owen Ash Weingott (21 June 1921 – 12 October 2002)[1] was a Jewish-Australian[3] actor, director, voice artist and drama teacher. Although primarily working in theatre, he appeared on radio and television in serials, television plays and voiceovers, over a career spanning some 60 years.

Weingott starred in Australia's first soap opera Autumn Affair,[4] and is well known for his brief role as former school principal Walter Bertram, in the first season of Home and Away.[1][5]

Early life and education

Weingott was born in 1921, in the Sydney suburb of Mosman, New South Wales, to factory manager Abraham Weingott and his wife Zara Hannah (nee Davis). He was their only son[6] and their first child. When Weingott was two, his mother died in childbirth, leaving him to be raised by his paternal grandmother, several aunts, and his great-aunt, Debbie Lewis.[2] From age five, Weingott wanted to be an actor. He began performing in school productions and became interested in Shakespeare.[2]

On 23 June 1934, at the age of 13, Weingott had his Bar Mitzvah at The Great Synagogue in Sydney.[6][7]

When he was 15, Weingott began studying and performing in amateur theatre productions at the Independent Theatre,[6] under producer Doris Fitton, and later at the Savoy Theatre, with plays including 1066 and All That, Six Characters in Search of an Author and Judgement Day.

After finishing at Sydney Boys High School in 1939, Weingott studied economics at University of Sydney.[6]

Career

Theatre

Weingott made his professional debut in theatre when he was given a role in the Insect Play at the Independent in 1941.[8] In 1942, however his studies and career was put on hold, when he enrolled in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).[6]

Having achieved the rank of corporal, Weingott was discharged from the Air Force at the end of the war, in December 1945. He returned to Australia from Canada, where he had been instructing in aircraft identification.[6] He then studied for a year at the Sydney Law School, before ultimately returning to the stage. From 1945, he also trained in fencing under Frank Stuart at the Sydney Swords Club, where he was promoted to senior instructor and fight choreographer.[6][1]

Weingott returned to the Independent Theatre, performing as Young Siward in a 1945 production of Macbeth. The following year, Doris Fitton produced Hamlet and cast Weingott as Laertes (who duels with Hamlet), a role he went on to play five times, one being a live broadcast from the ABC-TV studios.[9][1] He went on to choreograph and act in over 400 duels during the span of his career on stage, film and television.[6][1]
