DAVID SUCHET. actor, played Hercule Poirot in the TY series of Agatha Christie murder mysteries.
Interview by Tim Oglethorpe

1___________

One thing my schooldays did teach me was the importance of teamwork. At boarding school, I was an outsider and | was really, truly unhappy there. When I started playing sport at Grenham House, I became a member of a team, and I felt a lot better about myself. Like sport, acting is also nearly always a team event and you rely just as much on other people as they do on you.

Yes, I did. My brother and I both went to the same school and sometimes, we used to break the rules. In private schools at that time, a common punishment used to be ‘the cane’: a long stick which the head teacher used for hitting naughty boys. Both of us were caned on several occasions.

3___________

Well, I wasn’t very academic at all, really, and I was very bad at maths. Luckily for me, I was really good at sport and that’s the only reason they accepted me at Wellington. I was in the school rugby team, and I also played tennis. I played at Wimbledon once, in the junior tournament, and I got through to the second round.

5__________

Yes, my favourite teacher was Mr Storr, head of the school tennis team, and also my English teacher. One day, when I was 14 or 15, I had to read in class. After the class, he said to me, ‘The way you read suggests you might enjoy acting. Would you consider playing Macbeth in the school play?’ That was the beginning of my acting career, and I’ve never looked back since.
