NPR Interviews David Suchet

NPR interviewed David Suchet on "Talk of the Nation" today. The accomplished stage and screen actor is probably best known for his portrayal of Agatha Christie's Belgian private detective Hercule Poirot.

Though he's been playing Poirot for more than two decades, Suchet still remembers his very first scene as the detective. "The camera was on my very shiny patent leather shoes," he tells NPR's Neal Conan. Then, slowly, it panned up his legs to reveal his striped trousers, morning coat, gray waistcoat, bow tie, wing collar and "of course, the famous mustache."
