- Did you know who was the only Poirot actor approved by Christie? The 'young', the 'charming', or, perhaps, she preferred the one you do?

OH, David Suchet is the POIROT himself!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
100 percent correct👏😍
@Ad Oculos , actually I've read every AG book.
@Ad Oculos totally love to read 📚
@Ad Oculos I'm sorry this upsets you so much. It's just my personal opinion. Hope you can understand that
Just about to day the same..... David Suchet is such a treasure, as Poirot.... 💕💜💕🎩🤗
After watching David in the role I was spoiled for anyone else. David IS Hercule.
@@kugelweghe’s the best Poirot. Especially when compared to Kenneth Braghna or however you spell his name. He is completely untrue to the character. He makes him an action hero with mannerisms more befitting Adrian Monk than Hercule Poirot.
Oui
😊😊.lb00
Interesting, I read all the books but must admit it was as a teenager more than 35 years ago. Point taken, I shall revisit.
@@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
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.
Tam duygularımı anlattınız ❤
💯
I'm almost embarrassed to say, but I have watched each episode many times. Suchet and the producers did a fine job.
Don't be, me too 🙂
Don’t be embarrassed, we are all with you in this boat 😂
I own them all, and I don’t own many DVDs. But David Suchet as Poirot makes me so happy.
David Suchet is the quintessential Poirot, no other interpretation even comes close.
I admire anyone for trying the very difficult role, but only Suchet took Poirot off the pages and onto the screen.
I do have that feeling too
Obviously you didn't see "Orian Express" so I don't blame your ignorance
@@mixaliskokkinos1496 I have seen both the David Suchet and the Kenneth Branag one. Suchet is much better.
Yes but Albert Finney is better than both for me.
@mixaliskokkinos1496 "orient express" was my favorite book of Christie's and I couldn't wait to watch when I heard a new movie was coming out with Kenneth Branagh, whom I love as an actor! Well, by like middle of the movie I couldn't wait to leave the movie theater and was fuming for days at it. In my mind it was awful, especially bc i hated him as Poirot. 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.
Initially it was implied that it was Christie, but it was her family not her.
Because she was already dead when he played Poirot.
Correct, but not the point. OP has issue with the misleading video title, and frankly, so do I.
I thought the same! He is so good but she wasnt here to give him the nod!
looked for this comment Thank you.
I agree
David Suchet is perfect as Poirot, no one else could play Poirot so beautifully and convincingly
Some actors are born for certain parts. It seems like destiny. David Suchet is one such actor. No one could be any better.
Agree!
Yes, David IS Poirot!
Suchet can play just about any nationality and make it believable. He's a modern day Nehemiah Persoff.
Agreed
Albert Finney!!!
David Suchet owned that role and so thoroughly convinced us of his authenticity that he alone will forever be our one and only favorite Belgian, mired in little grey cells, mysterious cases, and puzzling clues. 💕 📚 💕
Isn't David Suchet Hercule Poirot? As in, even when I listen to the audio books I always have him in mind as Poirot
He narrates some of them. Hugh Frasier, who played Hastings in the series, narrates most. There are some where Frasier narrates and Suchet plays Poirot. And then there are the BBC dramatization where Poirot is played by John Moffatt.
@@mechanic6682 and even when Hugh Frazer does the voice of Poirot, it is done well. 😊👍
And Mr. Frazer is such a wonderful Captain Hastings. 😊
I knew it was David. He said it took him 6 months to get the voice down. He's a method actor.
I think him and Jeremy Brett as Holmes, the only true Worlds Greatest Detective, were above all others who ever tried!!
Jeremy Brett was sublime as Sherlock Holmes
For me Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce will always be the penultimate Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. I would agree Jeremy Brett made the best Sherlock Holmes since then, at least that I've seen.
And Miss Marple ?
Agreed about Sherlock Holmes too. Rdj and Cumberbatch ruined the character, too much edginess and acting like total jerks sometimes. That's not Sherlock Holmes, he is witty but not to the point of being a jerk.
@@Souchi-ito Indeed he was not someone you would consider rude or a jerk especially to women. He was polite even in his little digs at Scotland yard for being slow on the uptake.
David Suchet is Amazing. To me he IS Poirot! ❤️
Yes. When I read the books, I actually picture David Suchet.
Anyone who read any Poirot books, would agree.
Agatha Christie described him in detail, no question there!
Yes, and not only physical or mannerisms. The psychology as well
David Suchet is the only one who made Poirot look and sound believable.
Except for the moustache. But, in general, I agree.
As an avid reader, audio book listener, and movie watcher - still today, I concur wholeheartedly!!
Totally according to the description in her books - short, with moustache, strong accent, cool and methodical
Egg shaped head and all! ❤
The only thing was the Green cat like shine he'd have in his eyes when he hit on idea. However I feel like that would have taken away from the realism to use contacts and... Like have them glimmer or something 😂
@@O2BAmachine Bishoujo anime eyes Poirot 😂
David is the best indeed..
David Suchet read every single piece of literature on Poirot and copied all of his idiosyncrasies down to a tee.
exactly! I elaborated on that in detail in my longer video about Poirot actors
David is a real method actor. Not to the extreme unhealthy degree, but to the degree that he simply melts into whatever character he is playing. It’s wonderful to watch. 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.
And he invented that voice to go with it.
David Suchet is the only Poirot for me.
Yes yes yes 👍👍👍
Yes ❤❤❤
David Suchet will always be my Hercule choice, hands down.
We the fans, approve david suchet too. He's the best. I felt warm everytime i watch the serial. As if Poirot is real and can solve problems in our life.
David Suchet was the Poirot I grew up with. I never saw the other actors who played him.
I just loved his acting he was brilliant loved his accent prefect mustache i still see he's mysteries love them❤️👍
That’s right. Mr. Suchet was absolutely perfect in every way!! He knew Poirot!, well!
David Suchet was the perfect purpose Poirot and only Poirot as far as I’m concerned
Suchet will remain the greatest Poirot, he will stay unsurpassed
Same as Christopher Reeve = Superman, forever.
So what you're actually saying is that no poirot was approved of by Christie.
One was approved of by the family and it was asserted that Christie would have, but that isn't actually the same.
This is not a critique against the actor, he was indeed amazing.
The narrator on the channel ALWAYS does this. Clickbait falsities at it's finest. lol
David is the BEST!!!!❤️
Suchet and Brett -- the best Poirot and Holmes respectively.
LOVED HIM PLAYING THIS ROLE.....
Девид Суше- единственный признанный всеми Пуаро, так же как мисс Марпл- это Джоан Хиксон. Они прям как их герои книгах А. Кристи.
I've only seen Suchet's Poirot but he was amazing, so to me he's the one.
Brilliant actor! A legend! Blessings!
Yes, I can understand that, David Suchet is a believable Poirot - he embodies the character as does Margaret Rutherford with Miss Marple - no other actress feel right in the role.
YES!! Right about Margaret!!!!
Joan Hickson was damn good. Can’t think of anyone better.
Best one was Geraldine McEwan ❤
❤Much love for Suchet!
David as a agree
He's so iconic I only like him for the audiobooks and movies, he's the best Poirot.
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.
I'm rewatching the Poirot series (got to series 2) after many years and I'm amazed at how much dedication the whole team put into the episodes. The first 2 series dramatise short stories that are but a few pages long, and yet they manage to stretch the plot and add information about Poirot, and his friends Hastings, Miss Lemon (I don't think she ever appears in Christie's books) and Insp. Japp. This information helps us understand the characters and take them to our hearts.
I remember being pretty upset when later episodes featured Poirot alone, the interaction between him and his friends had always been my favourite part.
David Suchet is THE Hercule Poirot.
For me, David Suche is literally Hercule Poirot right from the book. Whenever I read her books, I always imagine David as Poirot 😊☺️
David Suchet was the best of the bunch. His portrayal of Poirot was the best.
The only Poirot I watch is one played by David Suchet! I can't watch anyone else.. David was born for this role.
David Suchet WAS Poirot.
@@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.
I'm not surprised at all. David Suchet is brilliant for this role.
David Suchet didn’t just play Poirot, he was Poirot. His performance was always amazing and believable ❤
the one and only! an impeccable performer. I love listening to him read the Bible on You Tube.
That’s why so many episodes with David Suche…he’s perfect for Poirot!
He plays the part but to perfection.
Suchet Impossible to follow; yet, I'm IMPRESSED with Kenneth Branagh 🎉 Great effort... so tough to even attempt after Suchet is ground into our minds from watching soooooo many episodes !!!! Great efforts, Mr. Branagh ... perhaps hand us some more ! DO ... BREAK A LEG !!!
Looking forward to see some more of your very well made creations !🎉!!! (with great photography and casts ) .
most talented actor. born for this role. made history
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.
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.
I love all of the Poirots but David Suchet is and has always been my favorite.❤
I agree. David Suchet IS Poirot. He is astounding.
David is the best Poirot. After reading the books, he is the only actor that really embodies the Poirot from the novels.
David Suchet OWNS the role of Poirot! I have watched a good many of his performances in the Christie murders. He totally embodies the personality of Poirot, even down to the walk! A joy to watch!
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!
He was my favorite.
Suchet is the true Poirot. He personified The Man who I fell in love with as a child while reading Christie’s books and who only ever broke my heart once, when he passed away in the Curtain- Poirot’s last case.
Joan Hickson was Miss Marple - perfect performance
Lmfao no. Geraldine McEwan was.
@@AppleManiagaming Agatha Christie wanted Joan Hicksin BBC interview before she died
Mind you I ilked Geraldine McEwan better
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.
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!
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 perfect for it.
Everyone knows that no one played poirot better than david suchet
David Suchet IS Poirot in MY mind.
Well, I agree David is the only one that fits the part
David Suchet was by far my favorite
David owns it, takes the whole persona an performs whole heartedly
David Suchet is my favorite Hercule Poirot. He will always be the real Poirot.
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
Only David Suchet becomes Poirot, no one else comes near him.
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.
I knew it! I love him to life!
Agree. He is definitely Poirot. His moustache, his egg head 😃.
That's because David Suchet is the only actor who adapted his appearance and mannerisms to accommodate the role of Poirot as defined by Dame Christie . ALL of the others adapted the appearance/mannerisms/personality of Poirot to accommodate themselves as performers. That's the difference between an egoist and a truly accomplished master of his craft!
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.
David Suchet will forever be poirot! ❤️❤️❤️
David Suchet is the ultimate Poirot.
I grew up enjoying Peter Ustinov in those glamorous productions, but when Suchet came along, everything faded in comparison.
No one but David Suchet could do justice to Poirot. To me the moment I saw him, he was Poirot personified.
Dame Agatha would have certainly recognized her Mr. Poirot in Mr. Suchet.
David Sucket was the perfect Poirot
He played the part of Poirot to perfection !!
Mr. David Suchet is the gold standard for playing Poirot ❤
But obviously!!! No one else understands Poirot to the extent of becoming the man! Love Suchet ❤❤
just perfect. No one could do it better.
David Suched ist absolut mein Poirot 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Suchet was the definitive Poirot, and Hickson was the quintessential Miss Marple
I’d say David and Kenneth both did the role of Poirot really well 😊
David Suchet is the ultimate Poirot!❤
No one else can do it anywhere near as good as David!
It is interesting the fact that, when I read a book, I form an image of the character in my mind, based on the descriptions of the author, and sometimes I get disappointed with the adaptations, because the imagens don't match. With Poirot is now the opposite: when I read a Poirot novel, it is the image of David Suchet that comes to my mind.
Yep! They made the best choice for Poirot.
david is a genius and such a humble & kind person
I must agree about David Suchet I still think that the tv series was better than the new movies
David Suchet is and will ever be the Hercule Poirot. Nothing against other actors playing him and even exploring other characterizations but his understanding of the real character and performance has no match
Kenneth Brannah’s Moustache is RIDICULOUS
