Warning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners: this podcast contains the voice of someone who has died. Jack Charles is a venerated Aboriginal Australian actor, but at one point addiction led him to a life of crime. For years, after curtain fell, he'd slip away to burgle houses. He spoke to Outlook's Datshiane Navanayagam. Photo: Jack Charles Credit: Getty Images/Don Arnold Get in touch: outlook@bbc.com
