Lieck also worked as a director again and again.

His main stage roles included:

Lieck was rarely seen in front of the camera, for example in the 1959 television film Ein Traumspiel nach August Strindberg , with Inge Langen , Helmut Peine and Tilla Durieux . Lieck could be heard in countless speaking roles on the radio and was one of the busiest radio play speakers in the Federal Republic of Germany after the Second World War . His most famous role was that of Sir Graham Forbes in ten of the twelve Paul Temple radio plays by Francis Durbridge , which were produced by NWDR and WDR between 1949 and 1968. In Paul Temple and the Geneva case , in which the role of Sir Graham did not appear, he spoke to the Swiss detective Monsieur Walter Neider . His most important partners in this series were René Deltgen , Annemarie Cordes , Herbert Hennies , Heinz Schimmelpfennig and Peter René Körner .

Other multi-part series in which he participated included Bells of Death (1964) by Ernst Hall with Hermann Lenschau and Alwin Joachim Meyer and in 1955 Der Schatz im Silbersee after Karl May with Heinz Schimmelpfennig and Herbert Steinmetz . Here he spoke the role of Old Shatterhand , just like a year later in Winnetou with Hansjörg Felmy and in 1958 in Old Surehand with Heinz Klingenberg and Werner Rundshagen . In 1964 he had another appearance as Sheik Mohammed Emin in a Karl May adaptation, with Paul Klinger , Heinz Schacht and Heinz von Cleve in Durch die Desert . In the two-person piece Really a shame for Fred by James Saunders he was heard in 1965 together with Edith Schultze-Westrum .

His first marriage (wedding on July 2, 1932 in Mannheim) with Irmtraut Raschka (* August 14, 1905 in Mautern adDonau, † unknown) gave birth to his son Peter Lieck (* 1935), who, like his father, became an actor and radio broadcaster. In his second marriage, he was married to Gerda Elisabeth Huebner (* around 1911, † October 1, 1976 in Remagen), with whom he had a daughter, Maria Lieck (* around 1950). Kurt Lieck died a good two and a half months after his wife in Remagen.
