At that time, he was a little-known actor.
David Suchet’s film debut took place in the 80s. However, he received real fame only in the late 90s, when he appeared in the image of the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. For many generations of viewers, the artist was remembered, because he was already in old age. Few people remember what he looked like in his youth.
At the start of his career, David Suchet had strong oriental features. His wide black eyebrows and bottomless dark eyes made the Briton look like a native of warm countries. It may even seem to the inhabitants of the former USSR that he has roots in Armenia or Georgia, he seems so native. In fact, his ancestors came from the Russian Empire and professed Judaism.
Few could have imagined that this descendant of Russian emigrants would become a celebrity in the future. Yes, even playing a major role in the film adaptation of a purely English novel. Today David Suchet’s Poirot is regarded as the greatest ever played.
