In a British TV series, which detective was portrayed by the same actor from 1989 to 2013?

I am still watching them I love them and David Suchet playing Perot the Belgium detective not French as some people in his shows thought he was and he certainly would correct them. A wonderful Character

David Suchet read all the books that feature Poirot and took countless notes of all his nuances. That's why his portrayal is just so good.

I knew that thanks to my gray matter.

Arohanui, agreed! Just as described in the books.

No one could have portrayed Poirot better ,though Ustinev did an amazing one too.

DrowsyPegasus96036, it's Poirot. and he was Belgian. Belgium is the country.
