@@kugelweg I mean his moustache is described as "His moustache was very stiff and military" by Hastings. Sounds perfectly fine to me and every single adaptation of his (like cartoon and such) have that classic small moustache. I haven't seen much to indicate his moustache is anywhere near to different as what we see with Suchet, but one can use their own imagination for it. Now for the hair yes many times one can assume in the books we wears a wig constantly but many actors do seem to make him balding. But again that as with the lack of green eyes seems to be no problem here. Is a minor difference which hasn't affected his image imo (just like Daniel Ratcliffe not having the rat nest of hair constantly and not having green contact lenses didn't make him less suitable for Harry Potter) Suchet didn't imply intelligence affects his vocal chords. He said that by the character of Poirot as mentioned in the books he wanted to make it perfectly clear he is a "head-driven man". His natural voice is baritone. He could have used that. Instead he chose to interpret the character as he did. Besides his voice was described as "hesitant" more often what not. So he spoke in a less authoritative way (far from what I would call "rich" in many occasions) Suchet most of the time sits back and relaxes and he has crossed his legs during a performance. He sits upright in the presence of others to show Poirot's incredibly dandee-like nature. He himself read the books after all. As for the crushes he had in those episodes you mention, most of the time people just treat them as youth crush and flattery response rather than actual love. It was clear to many people Poirot was not really interested in love. But he was still human not a machine. I dunno about whether he "decided he didn't have sense of humor" but I suspect he was driven behind the essence of making Poirot the "foreigner" or the "outcast" of his british company just like he said when reading the books he had the impression Poirot was still considered a "foreigner" amongst everyone and he wanted to show his "social awkwardness with them" so to speak. Instead of laughing he made Poirot smirk and smile a lot during the comedic moments. If that was just it, just a trick to sell the show, then people would react to it the same way they react with the terrible Disney remakes. It didn't happen. By an large the people who watched the show loved it and people who read the books praised it. So allow me to disagree. Your opinion is valid of course and I understand people getting upset when a story is trasfered to a TV adaptation because either their image of the hero in their heads is not satisfied or because the tv show or movie deliberately makes changes to the interpretation but allow me to disagree in your opinion. I still believe Suchet is THE Poirot based on the media and the descriptions the same much as the mannerisms and the appearance of Jeremy Brett was THE Sherlock Holmes for me

I'm almost embarrassed to say, but I have watched each episode many times. Suchet and the producers did a fine job.

Dame Agatha never lived long enough to see David Suchet portray Poirot. If she had, undoubtedly, she would have thought he would be her very own imagination come to life.He is the Poirot one imagines in one’s head, when one first reads Agatha Christie books, and for me, that was when I was 11. David Suchet was like a mirage come to life for me, and I’m sure he does for many others.

But thats because I grew up on Davids version, so I will forever be biased. However, even David's version was only alright. The book is still the best.

Saw him in The Hollow Crown, and he is so good. I recommend watching it. The Shakespeare plays are shortened, but without missing out hugely important stuff and all the actors as excellent.

@@kugelweg David Suchet read all her books before playing the part. He even argued with the director in season 1 and told him that he would refuse to play Poirot anymore unless they allowed him to play him as Christie described him in the books (the director told him that dusting off chairs when he was about to sit was stupid and David responded that "if that's what Christie wrote in her books about Poirot, that's what I'll do") He methodically read all the books and made a list of some primary characteristics of his behavior. He has the height more or less and he has the apropriate head shape. The only thing missing from his appearance is the wig and the green eyes but that hardly damages the brilliance of his acting. I hardly call what he did "poor performance". Of course you can say he is not your favorite actor to play him or that he is not how you imagined him to look like when you read the books and that of course is perfectly valid but what he does is definitely not "poor performance" objectively speaking.

He's so iconic I only like him for the audiobooks and movies, he's the best Poirot.

The only Poirot I watch is one played by David Suchet! I can't watch anyone else.. David was born for this role.

It's the mustache. When he goes undercover as an electrician in _The Veiled Lady,_ he doesn't wax his mustache and lets it droop, and _voila!_ Instant disguise. Just like Clark Kent's glasses.

the one and only! an impeccable performer. I love listening to him read the Bible on You Tube.

David Suchet was the best of the bunch. His portrayal of Poirot was the best.

I knew it! I love him to life!

He was my favorite.

For me, David Suche is literally Hercule Poirot right from the book. Whenever I read her books, I always imagine David as Poirot 😊☺️

He was perfect for it.

David Suchet is definitely my favorite Poirot and most faithful to the books. Unfortunately, being bald he couldn’t do the reoccurring bit of Poirot bit about dying his hair, but he got almost everything else right.

He plays the part but to perfection.

I'm not surprised at all. David Suchet is brilliant for this role.

That’s why so many episodes with David Suche…he’s perfect for Poirot!

I agree. David Suchet IS Poirot. He is astounding.

most talented actor. born for this role. made history

I would have cried if it hadn't been David Suchet he truly brought Poirot to life, though I did enjoy Both Albert Finney's and Peter Ustinov's depiction though Peter was not as careful of his mustache as he should have been but he was indeed very charming.

David Suchet IS Poirot in MY mind.

Must be the egg shaped head, along with everything else. The head is mentioned in every single description Christie ever wrote of Poirot but only David Suchet had one.

David Suchet "IS", Poirot. He is the only Poirot I will watch. And the supporting cast are just totally fabulous too. Ohhh, if you have anything of his stage performance as Lady Bracknell, I'd so love to see it!

David Suchet completely transformed into Poirot. After watching him bring the classic character to life, no one else will ever convince me. Some great actors, but no one comes even close to David Suchet. David simply IS Poirot!

Suchet is definitely my no. 1. It is important to remember that he was very fortunate to work with a brilliant supporting cast. Kenneth Brannagh makes a very good fist of it as well.

A lot of these characters did play hercule after she died. But I’m pretty certain Sutchet would be her favourite. Apparently also for the estate of christe. Which has as many rules as Herge ( tin tin ) estate. The black tin tin is a psychology theory about herge’s child abuse. Which has never been confirmed. But he thinks there is a lot of hints to suggest it reading his book.

He was my favorite as well.

David S is the best Poirot whiteout dubbing, and that because he really tried to be, he even told the story of how he read all the books and made summaries of the character outside the indications from the scenario. To be an actor you need to have passion and D.S have a huge passion for playing and characters. As for the new attempt, that individual have not talent, I guarantee he never ever read a book of Agatha C. and he is simply out of character out of playing out of being an actor

I’ve read all of the Poirot books and seen all of these actors in the role, and the only one that really nailed it is David Souchet. It’s hard to even imagine any of the other actors when reading the books, and Kenneth Branagh really blew it when he had his little fisticuffs scene in Murder in the Orient Express. He also screwed up the plot severely in death on the Nile when he had all the different characters as wedding guests on a privately booked Karnak. It made the plot even more implausible than the remarkable series of coincidences in the original novel.

My favorite! Love them all though!❤ Mysteries are the best!🧙

But obviously!!! No one else understands Poirot to the extent of becoming the man! Love Suchet ❤❤
