Early life

Edwin 'Teddy' Hodgeman was born in 1935 in Alberton, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia.[3] He studied at Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), graduating as one of the first intake of students in 1960.[4][5]

Career

Hodgeman began his career in the 1950s, being mentored by pioneer Adelaide theatre director Colin Ballantyne.[3] He moved to Canada to work with Stratford Ontario Company, before returning to Adelaide in 1965 to perform as part of the fledgling South Australian Theatre Company.[5]

Under George Ogilvie, the first artistic director of the company, Hodgeman became a leading stage actor from 1969, in everything from Shakespeare to musical theatre and cabaret.[3] He starred alongside the likes of Don Barker, Dennis Olsen, Helmut Bakaitis, Vivienne Garrett, Paul Blackwell.[3] Hodgeman also won acclaim for stage appearances interstate.[3] He is well known for originating the role of Ahmed in Jim Sharman's Sydney production of Norm and Ahmed in 1968.[5]

In 1985, Hodgeman landed the role of Dr Dealgood in post-apocalyptic action film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the third installment of the Mad Max franchise, alongside Mel Gibson and Tina Turner.[3]

Hodgeman's other film credits include The Fourth Wish (1976), Money Movers (1978), The Survivor (1981), Robbery Under Arms (1985), A Sting in the Tale (1989), Shine (1996), Human Touch (2004), Look Both Ways (2005) and Modern Love (2006). He appeared in several miniseries including Eureka Stockade (1984), Sun on the Stubble (1996) and Rain Shadow (2007).[3]

Hodgeman was honoured with an Adelaide Critics Circle lifetime achievement award in 2006.[3]
