David Suchet internalised Poirot's character, making him the only believable portrayal of Agatha's literary masterpiece. Other actors are of pale comparison to his artistry and skills. Bravo!!!
The only other actor that comes close to David's Poirot, is John Moffatt. He plays Poirot in the dramatized audiobooks and sounds almost exactly like him, except his accent is slightly thicker. But on screen, nobody comes close. There's a reason his version is called, Agatha Christie's Poirot, because it is the most faithful to the source material.
I would love to have "Poirot" as the GPS tracker voice. "Mon Dieu, you are travelling a bit too fast, no?" "If you turn left soon we will have arrived, yes?"
this is amazing!! i speak both English and French but i'm by far not a native speaker. So I've always wondered if Sir Suchet's accent sounded proper for a native speaker of French. What a pleasant comment huh!! so does he really sound, well, comme il faut?
i am also French living in UK for 20 years now, the first time I ve heard his "REAL"voice AFTER 10 YEARS of watching Poirot , I had to sit down as his speed , his tone is 100% French , I WAS GOBSMACKED !!!!!
This is why classically trained actors will always win against kids who get into the business on screen-tests alone. Rehearsal. Technique. Character-building. Physical exercises. Thought. Research.
Yeah. I just wish he had gotten an Emmy nomination (or better yet, a win) for playing Poirot and Hugh Fraser for playing Hastings. They should both have gotten Emmy nominations for Curtain at the least.
The most perfect portrayal of a fictional character I've ever seen. Even when the episodes of 'Poirot' were less than inspired they were always thoroughly enjoyable to watch because of David Suchet's performance in the title role.
It's impossible to be 100% close to the original source material. There were changes in every episode but actually, apart for a few episodes, the rest were really really accurate... I would say a 80% accurate. The majority of the time they just cut out one or two minor characters or add Japp or Hastings because the public wanted to see the main cast all together 👏🙌🙌
I'm not sure Jeremy Brett was the best ever. I think Basil Rathbone was up there too. Certainly Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett were the two iconic ones.
That was fascinating to watch...He put as much importance on the voice as he did on the mannerisms, the walk, and the appearance. Truly a brilliant actor. Love every minute of him on film...He is perfection...of the kind his character demanded.
That is AMAZING!!! Not only is he changing his apperance, the manner of walking and the accent, but also the tone of his voice! Yes, he really IS one and olny Hercule Poirot!
The key thing a great actor does with a figure like Poirot is he invests him with a real character. He's not a collection of mannerisms and a few physical attributes: he's a real person: the culmination of an entire life. Even though it's barely mentioned in the books or scripts, I bet you David could tell you all about Poirot's life as a police inspector in Belgium, about his childhood, his education, his personal life, his early successes and disappointments. He was given a role; he created a human being. And that, more than anything, is where the actor is a creative artist. The creation begins and ends in the actors head: the techniques are used to transmit that reality to the audience.
New fan since 2024! As an English speaker who‘s been living in France for more than 10 years, I didn't realize that David was English!! I kept thinking to myself, 'Wow, it's amazing they found a Francophone who speaks English so incredibly well and acts fantastically haha
I can't watch anyone else as Poirot. Even when some of the plotlines of the episodes get confusing or the other actors are a bit green, David Suchet's Poirot is captivating. I recently tried watching the 2017 Murder On The Orient Express and while it had its positives, it all felt like a performance. With Suchet the character never feels like a performance, he just IS Poirot and that's that. I actually think the 1974 Orient Express film is the best written/directed overall (I watched it as a child so I am also biased by nostalgia, but I do think it does the best job of building suspense) but isolating the Poirot character alone, Suchet's is champion, and always will be. I see that Branagh's Death On The Nile is coming out in 2020 and I will be interested to see it, but I really don't think any actor for the rest of time will be able to top Suchet as Poirot. Certainly Branagh is very talented and gave a strong performance in the 2017 Orient Express film, but it was still a performance and not the total embodiment of the character that David Suchet has managed to accomplish.
My one mark against Suchet’s Poirot isn’t even his fault: most of them felt like television dramas with requisite day players and TV budgets. Which they were. But just to see say Branagh direct Suchet as Poirot, with cinematic production values, story plotting, perhaps adding a couple original side characters , would be amazing.
@@Ironcabbit absolutely not. The TV series was and is perfect in this way. It is a masterpiece and even with a lower budget they did an excellent job and 100% historic and costumes accurate.
Actually TV version of "Murder on the Orient Express" is 10 times better than 1974 film... But ALBERT Finney and Sydney Lumet still great and the cast stellar
His attention to detail and passion for playing Poirot is pathological, and it definitely shows in his performance. It never ceases to amaze me how many little things Davis Suchet did to go above and beyond the call of duty to get his portrayal of Poirot just right.
What an absolute delight to hear the voice transition from Mr Suchet to Mr Poirot! I could visualise the wardrobe change simultaneously while hearing the voice change :D Wonderful!
i am also French living in UK for 20 years now, the first time I ve heard his "REAL"voice AFTER 10 YEARS of watching Poirot , I had to sit down as his speed , his tone is 100% French , I WAS GOBSMACKED !!!!!
I just discovered David's Poirot. My wife and I watched an episode every night until we finished the series. I'm flabbergasted by David's brilliant portrayal. Probably the most talented actor I've ever seen. "Hastings! Mon Ami!" (My Friend!)
@@MsGrapeNehi I mean, I get that he wants to play the part, Kenneth Brannagh wanted it too, but they look nothing like how he's described in Dame Agatha's books.
I never thought he was an Englishman, I thought he was French.!! He plays the role of Hercule Poirot Brilliantly, I love Agatha Christie Mysteries, she was a Brilliant Mystery Writer.👌🏽👍🏻👍🏻
I so enjoy the Poirot series, but now having heard from this amazing man with the "sexiest grey cells" I am even more enchanted with him as an actor. There are very few actors who have such command of their presence in their role and in their professional life.
Suchet is simply awesome....I love him! I want to act & to continue to learn the art of acting because of his ingenuity! God bless you and be with you David Suchet!
Incomparable and timeess. What a reasyre. Poitrot's hayghtinress is the caleidoscope-like sparkle that glistens when Hercules speaks. Priceless. Don't ask me how softest most luxurious velvet quality of the H-tone voice sparkles but it does.
David Suchet is amazing and this is wonderful to watch as he works his way into Poirot. What fun to hear at 0:29 to 0:34 when he starts with his low French voice he sounds very much like the great actor Charles Boyer from the old days of film/Hollywood.

Exactly!
Even adolescent me knew that neither Albert Finney nor Peter Ustinov could touch Suchet with a ten meter cattle prod when it came to Poirot portrayal.
He is also the only Poirot who counts the Christie family among his fans. Normally Agatha hated to see people play him.
And he has the best mustache of any of the other actors.

Yes please!
Take one wrong turn.. Non non non mon ami..
Take another one - Quelle imbecilé 😑
I think I'd yell at the GPS a lot less if it were like this...
Amazing ! I'm French and I watch Poirot in English, I always thought the actor was a real French or Belgian !
Moi aussi !
Me too !!
If that comment of yours isn’t proof enough of David’s talent then I don’t know what is. Thank you

@@flanplan5903 agreed!
Order and method. ;)
@@flanplan5903 He did win an emmy but for another role I think
@@flanplan5903 Why? Awards are bought and paid for. People already recognise brilliance, it is self evident.

Sir David Suchet is to Hercule Poirot what Jeremy Brett was to Sherlock Holmes - definitive, incomparable, and unforgettable. Absolutely brilliant.
Only Suchet managed to keep hold of his sanity. RIP Jeremy Brett.
My EXACT comment to a friend recently!
I'm not sure Jeremy Brett was the best ever. I think Basil Rathbone was up there too. Certainly Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett were the two iconic ones.
I have to watch this clip every time I find myself forgetting that this man actually isn't Hercule Poirot. He's just... so perfect it's scary.
U said it ... I feel da same ... David IS Poirot 😁❤😍
It also helps that his accent almost never slips, even in emotional scenes. Never once did I not buy that Poirot was not Belgian.
Why hasn't this man been knighted?
Your wish has been granted my friend
Fahad Islam really?
AlexGRFan97 yeah i know
AlexGRFan97 A CBE isn’t a knighthood. It’s an honour.
Looks like he was just knighted this week! 10/10/20
That was fascinating to watch...He put as much importance on the voice as he did on the mannerisms, the walk, and the appearance. Truly a brilliant actor. Love every minute of him on film...He is perfection...of the kind his character demanded.
this made my "little grey cells" very happy!
In my head, I read the “the little grey cells” in Poirot’s voice. This man is a genius!
Agree my little grey cells are tickled
Fascinating, this is why I think real old fashioned actors are amazing. They do research and delve into the layers of their character.
His original voice is so beautifully masculine and sexy.
He's truly a genius and a hard working actor!
I love his Poirot voice!
That is AMAZING!!! Not only is he changing his apperance, the manner of walking and the accent, but also the tone of his voice! Yes, he really IS one and olny Hercule Poirot!

He is a fantastic actor. Especially the voice. I was surprised to find out he was English.
Awesome. This gentleman rocks.
Like watching a virtuoso performing a solo.
He makes it look so easy, that's why he's one of the greatest actors that ever lived. ❤
Mon Ami, you are absolutely perfect and I can't see anybody else as Poirot other than Poirot himself and that is you.
Superb, a mini masterclass.
I noticed in earlier Poirots that his voice was a little lower at the start of the series and then later it seem to travel upwards a bit.🙌
"Listen very carefully; Suchet will say this only once how he develops the Poirot voice."
His attention to detail and passion for playing Poirot is pathological, and it definitely shows in his performance. It never ceases to amaze me how many little things Davis Suchet did to go above and beyond the call of duty to get his portrayal of Poirot just right.
A true genius of artist.....he has eternalised a fictional character with utmost responsibility
David Suchet is the best Hercule Poirot so far
The climax seriously got me...the music, the little sly face he makes and the one person clapping. Perfection
Je vous aime beaucoup monsieur Suchet, Je vous remercie beaucoup pour le charmant Hercule Poirot ❤️
Wow!!! This is amazing😳 Poirot is coming alive right in front of our eyes. David is an incredibly talented actor
This is great. This is what a great actor looks and sounds like:)
Extraordinary. It is almost as if he is channeling the actual Poirot. This is not acting, this is osmosis of the highest order.
What an absolute delight to hear the voice transition from Mr Suchet to Mr Poirot! I could visualise the wardrobe change simultaneously while hearing the voice change :D Wonderful!
this is f*****g amazing!!!!!!!!! Mr Suchet, you are a god of acting!
Thank you for your hard work that gave millions of people hours of pleasure)
The BEST Poirot!!! ❤🔥 No one does it like him!!! Extremely TALENTED & a JOY to watch!!! Thabk u David u made Agatha's character come ALIVE!!! ❤❤❤

It’s my background show I have on all the time … it helps me ignore my tinnitus.
Simply Brilliant!☺☺☺
He just transformed right before my eyes!
I never get tired of watching this!
Fantastic! Poirot IS Suchet and Suchet IS Poirot.
I love how there was at least one person in that room who couldn't help but start clapping at the end.
This is Poirot. Don't accept substitutes.
Maître Renard You mean like John Malkovich? lol Was the casting director smoking crack!?
@@MsGrapeNehi I mean, I get that he wants to play the part, Kenneth Brannagh wanted it too, but they look nothing like how he's described in Dame Agatha's books.
I love Poirot so much, I've tried to do this accent so many times lol
I never thought he was an Englishman, I thought he was French.!! He plays the role of Hercule Poirot Brilliantly, I love Agatha Christie Mysteries, she was a Brilliant Mystery Writer.👌🏽👍🏻👍🏻
This man is absolutely magnificent. I've been binging Poirot and I can honestly say he is my number one favorite actor.
He's so lovely
Wow this is amazing! Such a talented actor
You, Sir , have made countless of my Sunday afternoons very beautiful. Deep admiration to the talent of David Suchet.
I can’t wait to show this to my mom! Poirot fan her whole life! We love Mr. Suchet ❤️❤️❤️
amazing, such a talent
love so much David !! and cannot imagine Agatha's audios/videos without him and Hugh Fraser !!
True artist, true actor. One of the last ... Time to die for such guys as me, brought up on such acting:)
He is just Awesome! Completely amazing
I so enjoy the Poirot series, but now having heard from this amazing man with the "sexiest grey cells" I am even more enchanted with him as an actor. There are very few actors who have such command of their presence in their role and in their professional life.
Wàaaaaw. Just wàaaaaw.one and only Poirot. David Suchet!!
I just love how he literally built up Poirot's voice.
Suchet is simply awesome....I love him! I want to act & to continue to learn the art of acting because of his ingenuity! God bless you and be with you David Suchet!
Amazing actor.
It is amazing to see this brilliant transition. Actors at this level are true artists.❤
Best Poirot ever! Nobody will ever surpass him.
He is brilliant
Simply Incredible! 👏
Absolutely incredible, real child hood throwbacks - proud to have watched this :-)
Incomparable and timeess. What a reasyre. Poitrot's hayghtinress is the caleidoscope-like sparkle that glistens when Hercules speaks. Priceless. Don't ask me how softest most luxurious velvet quality of the H-tone voice sparkles but it does.

Thank You Sir...you really brought Poirot to the screen...so brilliantly...Lots of Love... from India
Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple
David Suchet as Poirot
Brilliant casting choices!
I miss Hercule Poirot ive watched every single episode at least 3-4 time since the pandemic started... i wish they added another season...
My favourite actor foreeeever
I’d applaud as well
I love how he gradually and seemlessly moved more and more into Poirot, very fascinating. He played him so well.
That's why he's the best one.
I love this man! He makes me shiver, thank you sir! ❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite characters and the man who brought him to life and brought joy to many...❤
My favorite actor! So talented!
He is genius. He speaks English in Poirot show with the same accent than me.
great artist

Just outstanding. So many great evenings watching Suchet. Not only as Poor or but in other roles. Deserves a Knighthood indeed.
Amazing! Poirot he does the English accent very well.
Che grande ispirazione per me e per il mio modo di raccontare Poirot!
I love Poirot!
Hercule Poirot! I love you so much Hercule Poirot! Amazing David Suchet!!!!
This is amazing.
Amazing!!!
maybe he's not so much recognized on the screen, but he is in theater for sure. that's where a master like him should belong :)
Brilliant ! All these years I thought he was a French actor! Oh mon Dieu!
I am French and he could easily pass for a French, that's amazing. This actor is unique.
Simply amazing! I absolutely love Hercule Poirot !
this. is .an . actor!
Just like magic!
I have seen almost all Poirot interpretations.. And every time i am like - non non non, mon ami..
I just love him!🐝❤️🤗
J'adore!
HE IS AWESOME!!!!
