Summary of David Suchet's Poirot and Me

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had played Hercule Poirot for more than a hundred hours of television over twenty-five years. I had brought him to life for millions of people around the world, and helped them to care about him as much as I did. I was relieved that I had done him justice.

#2 I was 40 when I was cast as Poirot, the little man who was so much a part of the rest of my life. I had been bitten by the acting bug when I was a member of the National Youth Theatre at 18, and I wanted to pursue acting. But my father was horrified by the idea of me becoming an actor.

#3 I was so terrified that I was never going to work as an actor again that when Moss Bros offered me an apprenticeship as a junior manager, I was all set to accept it. But fate intervened. On the morning I was going to say yes, I got a call offering me a part in a television show called The Protectors, starring Robert Vaughn and Nyree Dawn Porter.

#4 I was asked to play Poirot, and I was shocked and excited at the same time. I had never seen the character on the screen, and he was very different from the person I’d seen on the screen.
