David Suchet
(Actor)
.. Hercule Poirot
Born:
May 02, 1946
in
London
Best Known For:
His portrayal of Agatha Christie's Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot.
Early-life:
Born on May 2, 1946, in London, David is the middle of three sons - the eldest, John, is a newsreader, Peter, the youngest, is an advertising executive. Their father was a successful obstetrician and gynaecologist, while their mother was a respected stage actress. Suchet was expected to follow in his father's footsteps, but opted for showbusiness at the age of 18 after visiting his mother backstage. He joined the National Youth Theatre before enrolling at Lamda.
Career:
Suchet's first professional engagement was in theatre in Chester, followed by a stint at the RSC. His TV career took off in the late 1970s, thanks to roles in The Professionals and Tales of the Unexpected. Bigger parts on the small and big screens followed, including Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, A Tale of Two Cities, Blott on the Landscape and Executive Decision. He began playing Poirot, the role that made him an international star, in 1989. Since then he's appeared in such acclaimed projects as The Way We Live Now, NCS Manhunt, Maxwell, Live from Baghdad, Henry VIII, The Bank Job and Going Postal, as well as numerous stage roles.
Quote:
On acting: 'You don't take characters home; you take the worries of anybody who is doing a very difficult job. People in business or medicine face these worries. It's important not to make too much of them.'
Trivia:
He received an OBE in 2002.

Born:
January 17, 1956
in
Luton
Best Known For:
A string of hit songs in the 1980s.
Early-life:
Paul Antony Young was born in Luton on January 17th, 1956. He has an elder brother and a younger sister. He became interested in music at a young age, and by the time he left school, he knew how to play the piano and guitar. During his teens, he worked in a car plant during the day and gigged with bands at night.
Career:
In 1979, Paul's group Streetband split up and he went on to form Q-Tips. For the next three years, the outfit gained a large following in the UK and Europe, but by the end of 1982, they split, leaving Paul free to sign up as a solo artist. Success came with the hit single Wherever I Lay My Hat, which established him as a star. The hits continued throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, but as his family grew, he spent more time away from the spotlight. The next few years saw him working steadily, touring and enjoying fatherhood. He returned to the music scene in 2002 with the release of his album Los Pacaminos. He continues to record, and away from music, has a passion for cookery. He has appeared on TV shows Celebrity MasterChef and Hell's Kitchen. In January 2014, he was a contestant in ITV reality series Splash!
Quote:
On forming his band Los Pacaminos: 'I only started it for fun, but it's helped me to achieve lots of things.'
Trivia:
In 1984, he was one of the artists who performed on Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas?
