Early life
Teale grew up in Putney, London. He is of Venezuelan, Spanish and Welsh origins.[2] His father Noel is an IT consultant and his mother Fini works at a design advertising agency.[3] Teale attended Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith where he played rugby, football and took drama. His performance in a school play was spotted by an agent in the audience. Teale decided to switch his focus from sports to drama after his agents advised him to renounce for fear of damaging his looks.[3] He began auditions as he was preparing for his A-levels in History, Drama and Economics. He has deferred his place at the University of Manchester studying History and Economics to pursue his acting career.[4]

Teale gained popularity in 2011, when he landed a lead role as Nick Levan in the fifth and sixth series of E4 BAFTA-winning drama Skins,[7] after originally auditioning for Rider, a minor role.[8] Subsequently he appeared in History Channel's The Bible, a 10-hour docudrama created by Mark Burnett,[9] and played regular roles in the second series of the period dramas Mr Selfridge and Reign.[10][11]
In 2012 he was cast in Abominable Snowman (originally called Deadly Descent), a horror TV film directed by Marko Mäkilaakso and released on the American channel Syfy.[12][13] In March 2012 he filmed, in Birmingham, We Are the Freaks, a teen comedy directed by Justin Edgar[14] first screened at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2013[15] and released in cinemas in 2014.
