Hercule Poirot

Celebrated Belgian sleuth HERCULE POIROT (Kenneth Branagh) is brilliant, quick-witted and charmingly self-deprecating. Chivalrous and innately kind and obsessed with his personal grooming, he enjoys the dispensations that come from a life spent socializing amongst the elite. A keen observer, he savors any opportunity to probe the mindset of a murderer.
